In Dance Dynamix, we mix learning key dance skills with developing choreographed routines.
We aim to broaden children's dance skills & appreciation of music & styles by not only developing routines in street dance or pop using the latest chart music but focusing each term on another genre & the techniques or moves that are unique to styles such as rock, contemporary, disco, bollywood, latin, Jazz & Modern, swing jive, funk, 60s & more.
Children spend time in class on skill sequences for practice & we fuse these into our dynamic dance routines where they will also gain an understanding of rhythm & explore expression. Children are given the opportunity to develop their own ideas, style & creativity during the term too, through choreography activities or freestyle freetime. This helps to reinforce what they have learnt in a way relevant to them as well as build confidence, coordination, teamwork skills & friendships.
