Optional Extra Classes

During the last couple of terms there has been a lot of disruption for many classes (Bank Holidays and snow!) therefore the week after term finishes I would like to offer some extra classes free of charge to any student who has missed any lessons through no fault of their own.

These classes will incorporate free work (such is required during their coursework exams) and stretching and strengthening that can be continued through the summer to keep the students ticking over.

Monday 8th July

4.45-5.45 Grades 2-3 modern
5.45-6.45 Grades 4-5 modern
6.45-7.45 Grades 6-Inter modern

Wednesday 10th July

5.00-6.00 Grades 1-2 ballet
6.00-7.00 Grade 3 ballet
7.00-8.30 Grades 5, 6, Inter & Adv1 ballet

Arts Sunday: June 9th

I have finally been given some information on Arts Sunday, 9th June.

It is an entirely free day, no tickets are required and no entry fees. We have been given an 11.15 slot (will see if I can get a slightly later one but for now stick with 11.15) so please aim to be down in St Peter Port by at least 11, if not 10.45. I will be down there from
around 9am anyway at the Academy’s stall.

The floor is roughly the same size as the studio, and will be opposite Marks and Spencer’s/HSBC.

Sadly there are no changing rooms, apart from the public toilets at the Bus Terminus or Crown Pier, so I suggest changing before leaving and putting on something over the top.

The running order will go thus:

Bingo
Bango
Primavera
The Pink Panther
Elisha Horsepool
Jessica
Quittenden
Rebekah Le Friec
Ewan Mauger
Olivia Le Friec
Alice
Dewsnip
Lia Tostevin

And finally, even if you aren’t performing please come down and support your fellow students!

A New Class: Introduction to Tap & Modern

NEW AFTER HALF TERM: Introduction to tap and modern

From 15.30-16.15 on Mondays!

Suitable for reception year children (4-5 years old).
This class will involve 20 minutes of Tap dance and 20 minutes of Modern Theatre dance, with a 5 minute interval for children to remove their tap shoes and socks.
The Tap section of the class will involve starting the children off with the basics of tap dancing, how to make effective noise with their shoes, developing co-ordination and musicality, and the beginnings of rhythm within dance along to fun and modern music.
The Modern Theatre section of the class will be based around the ISTD Primary modern theatre syllabus, a fun and free form of dance. This will develop co-ordination, listening, moving in time with music and also the valuable skill of standing still.
If you would like to book your child in for a free trial lesson, please ring Miss King on 07781 414 940 or email enquiries@thedanceacademy.org.
