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.

Dance Company is back and teaching in Matua.

If you are interested in lessons in social partner dancing, Ballroom, Latin, New Vogue and even Classical Sequence do call/email and lets have a chat. I am happy to dance lead and follow so all aspects of the dances are covered.  

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.

Courtney and Phil have this to say about their recent experience with me:

We finally got married and got to dance our dance! The crowd erupted after we were done I think they were all blown away. Thank you so much for getting people to believe we are dancers, it was so much fun and something we will get to pull out at any time ❤

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.
