Have a Ball 6 - 12 Years
A group instruction dance class covering both Ballroom and Latin American styles of dance with a 'twist'.
It is particularly suitable for children with little or no previous dance experience or for those wanting to try a new dance style. The class closely follows the public school terms and operates on a 'pay as you go' basis. Attendance at your weekly class is recommended to ensure students gain confidence in the work being instructed.
Instructors also encourage the students to review and practise the steps and routines given in class at home throughout the week, ensuring progress is made. Dancing is an ideal form of exercise, it fosters development of social interaction, posture, physical strength, memory skills, co-ordination and self esteem.
Dance exams, although not compulsory are a useful tool to measure your child's dance achievements. Exams can be taken throughout the year and are presented as a practical demonstration partnered by the dance instructor, before an examiner.
Some students may choose to progress into competition dancing. A dance partnership is formed and you receive coaching in a private lesson. Practising your dance routines and performance skills with your dance partner is very important. Couples of similar grade and standard compete against each other at local venues throughout the year.
