The Street-dance workshop leaders
Our dance tutors have all had training in dance ranging from modern and jazz to hip hop. All have performed with various dance groups professionally taking them across the world on tours and with shows and are experienced choreographers too.
A couple of our tutors currently work for trusts and charities training people to perform as part of pop bands that work in secondary schools. This involves regular dance teaching along with trying to bring out the confidence and character of each individual student. Others teach in schools as part of the curriculum and after school clubs while others dance regularly for touring bands. Their wide ranging experience of their Art as well as working with people of all ages makes this workshop a skilled yet accessible learning experience for the absolute beginner to the more experienced dancer.
The Street-dance workshop
Following a warm up and a basic overview of the hip hop style of dance; co-ordination, movement and rhythm are some of the skills enhanced on this workshop. Numerical skills are used to count beats and work with rhythm and teamwork is essential. Street dance is a group activity that really encourages people to work together as well as build confidence. The songs and music used are geared to the current charts using popular music that fits the hip-hop realm. This workshop is very practical – you get stuck straight in learning moves and a full-choreographed routine that will even impress yourself!
