Our Timetable
Join us every Summer, always in the last week in July, for a Week of Dance Summer School with Give Into Dance!
Fantastic Dancing with a lot of Fun and Friends.
Students will learn from professional choreographers different street dance styles and Contemporary Fusion dance. The students will learn choreography, develop dance movement, build on dance technique and participate in creative tasks. Children will also work together to create their own dance choreography; improving social skills and bonding with other young dancers.
We will cover an extensive amount of street dance styes within the week; Locking, Popping, Breaking, Tutting, Wackin, Krumping, House, Dancehall, Afro, Commercial, Contemporary Fusion, Tricks and freestyle.
Students will be given a performance opportunity furthering their performing skills, working towards an end of week presentation on Friday at 3.15pm at CAPE.
Give Into Dance encourages and nurtures all levels of dance. The weekly course is devised to suit general to intermediate dancers. We challenge the more advanced dancers and we make all the dance routines assessable and inclusive for dancers at a general level, so all the students enjoy and progress throughout the week. All children are welcome to participate however we would not suggest the 5 day intensive course to a complete beginner dancer. The course and classes are aimed at dancers with some dance experience. We do take day pass students however you can only attend the Friday to perform with us if the student has attended other days of the intensive dance week. Previously learning technique and choreography to be involved on the performance day.
