Latest Dance News July 2022

Lessons recommence this week

I am so delighted to have found alternative spaces so I can return to teaching.  Its complicated when my preferred hall needs renovations.

If you are interested in lessons in ballroom, latin, new vogue and even classical sequence dances do call/email and lets have a chat. I am happy to dance lead and follow so all aspects of the dances are covered.  

On Wednesdays I teach a ladies/follows group class.  There is new choreography almost every fortnight which keeps us all on our toes.  

Or if you are now finally able to arrange your wedding and want a little something to wow and amaze your guests do call/email. Not all wedding dances need lots of lessons. Some couples just need a few steps and some confidence.

For all wedding dances your music choice determines what style of dance is best and in some cases it also means a little more effort is needed to learn some specific moves/variations. Not all moves suit every song, every wedding dress or even the floor you will be dancing on. Its always best to dance to a song that means something to you both and leave the choreography to me. I will always ask if you have any moves/variations that you do want to do and if possible incorporate them into something special for you.

I have lesson times available on Wednesday and Thursday evenings .

Latest Dance News – 22 February 2021

It is a great year to learn to dance!!

Ladies only class

I have just started a “Ladies who Latin” class on Wednesdays 7.00pm – 8 pm at the Matua Primary School Hall. The classes have a technical aspect and then I teach a little routine. Each week is a new experience – so while they do build on each other you can just come along to class when you can. There is a great group of women of all ages, some with experience and some who have none. If you need more information call me or email Elly (027 215 1430) or hi@dancecompany.co.nz

West Side Story

I’m also choreographing West Side Story for Tauranga Musical Theatre. Inspired by Shakespeare’s tumultuous love story ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and set amidst the vicious rivalry of teenage gangs in 1950s New York, West Side Story’s ground-breaking choreography and unforgettable score changed the face of musical theatre forever when it burst onto the Broadway stage in 1957. We are all honoured to be involved in the production of a timeless classic and celebrate 60 years since the release of the movie adaption!
