Class Times

Jigglers and Twirlers in Effingham

The times of some of our younger classes overlap. This is to ensure that our pupils are not trapped in a class that is too young for their capabilities and not pushed into a class which is beyond them.

It enables our pupils to feel safe as they learn and to explore new levels of dance as they become more capable.

Staggered classes also ensures that pupils do not become bored from attending a class with too wide an age range. They are taught dances appropriate to their development and interest.

The opportunities for partner and group work improves with mixed ages. Pupils are encouraged to learn from and to help their peers.

All the while pupils interest levels are maintained as often a child moving up a class misses the "younger" fun elements included in the previous class.

Overlapping classes facilitates better confidence and learning. This confidence building enables even our youngest pupils aged 2 take part in our annual display.

Latin American and Ballroom



Latin American and Ballroom

We teach a variety of dances namely:

Ballroom:  Waltz, Tango, Quickstep

Latin American:  Rumba, Samba, Paso doble, Cha cha cha, Jive

Club dances: Salsa, Mambo

Plus an introduction to:  Rock ’n’ Roll

 

Children

At Dancetime we teach approximately 15-20 minutes of Ballroom and Latin American within our children’s classes.

Our pupils aged between 2 and 8 learn the basic steps through one : one teaching.

 

We follow the IDTA syllabus and pupils between 3 and 10 years old are able to take Rosette and Stardance Awards when proficient.

From 9 years onwards pupils learn Latin American and Ballroom figures to a higher level and are able to take Social Dance and One Dance Awards.

From 9 years pupils are encouraged to partner each other and our teaching objective is to ensure they feel happy with different rhythms and would be able to get up and dance at various venues.

The variety of rhythms ensures that there are many dances each pupil will enjoy.

 Adults

In addition we run Adult Ballroom and Latin American classes and provide opportunities to join practice sessions.

These classes require a partner and are for beginners and intermediates.

You do not need to have previous experience with dance and we teach in groups small enough for each couple to learn and practice.

Some of our adults learn for specific occasions such as a forthcoming cruise, others take exams in their chosen dance but most come to be sociable and to learn how to get round the dance floor with confidence.

 

Dancing is fun, sociable and rewarding - join us!

 

Medal Test 17th May 2014

Medal Test

On Saturday May 17th our Medal Test took place at the North Holmwood Village Hall.
The IDTA examiner was Mrs Joyce Welford, a lovely lady who immediately had everyone relaxed.

Pupils entered various tests ranging from rosettes to gold in Latin American, Freestyle and Line Dance.

For the first time our Steppers entered a team dance.

There was a practice session beforehand in the examination hall and many pupils took this opportunity to calm their nerves and go through their dances.

In the waiting area our latest display DVD was shown for entertainment and refreshments were available. There was also a separate hall for warming up and practise before the test.
  

Pupils arrived on time dressed very smartly.

Despite a few nerves everyone performed magnificently and we had a very successful morning.

As Mrs Welford left she commented that everyone had passed their exams. We now await the certificates and medals which will be presented in class in June.

Congratulations to all who took part and many thanks to Tina, Lucy and Esme for their help.

The classes are listed from our oldest pupils to our youngest so please bear with us.




 

Choreography

Individual Choreography

 

Pupils have the opportunity to choreograph their own dances in class. This is very popular as pupils freely use their own ideas and creativity alongside moves previously taught by Dancetime.

The results are very impressive.

 

Geena and Lucy have successfully choreographed dances and taught them to the rest of the class.

Their dances use contemporary moves and show good imagination, interpretation  and rhythm.

They will be dancing ‘shot you down’ and ‘heavy in your arms’ in their medal test on May 17^th.

Good Luck!
