Latest Dance News 6 October 2023

Looking for just a little help for your first dance?

Not every couple wants a fully choreographed wedding routine. You might just want a few moves and variations that you can use both at your big day or at any other social occasion when dancing might happen. Just like Alice and Jamie.

Alice and Jamie

In Jamie’s case dancing in public, even in front of friends and family, was something he really wasn’t looking forward to. So he came to a few lessons by himself, not to learn a routine or steps, but to gain enough confidence so he could take Alice out on the floor.

They said “it went well and as you know it was pretty short before (our) parents stepped in. Thank you so much for your time and confidence building!”

So if all you need is a little confidence; some help to get out onto the floor please call or email, I’m sure I can help. I am available for Sunday lessons commencing after the long weekend and up until early December. Lesson times start at 4pm. I can either teach you some moves that work with the song you have chosen – or moves that will work well with any modern music.

Latest Dance News – June 2023

It been such a joy to return to teaching formation teams, after some time away due to the pandemic. Last month Dance Company took a 9 couple dance team “Imagine” to the Inter-studio Dancesport competition in Tamahere. All these dancers are masters which means they are over 30.

I have choreographed many formation teams over the years that have competed successfully all over New Zealand. Teams are a great way to meet more people in the local Dance Family, get really good at some complex moves, get fantastic at timing and learn another way to style your dancing along the way.

This Team music was close to 3.5 minutes long and the choreography was standard ballroom (New Vogue/Old Time) with a few tricks. I believe there should always be a trick or two to wow the audience and the judges. 

“Imagine” will be dancing again in Tamahere on 29th July. If you are interested in dancing at the competition or coming along and supporting the team let me know or just turn up.

Or if you and your partner want to be involved in the NEXT team I am doing send me a email.

I also teach private lessons for couples or singles if thats more you.
