Dance Intensive in English for Teens (14-19 yrs)
Jazz Dance · Commercial Dance · Street Dance
Mon-Fri 10:00AM-4:00PM · age group: 14-19 years
WORKSHOP FEE: 275 EUR
For all of you who love dancing! Join The Center for daily classes in our studios where we will be offering a 4 1/2 hour long dance intensive! This workshop will focus on commercial dance and the styles which fall beneath that umbrella, such as, jazz, modern, hip hop and theater.
Commercial dance emphasizes not only technique but performance elements such as developing one’s stage persona and presence. Commercial Dance is often associated with moves that are energetic, dynamic, strong and confident. Along with that commercial dance would not be complete without it’s individual style, personality and playfulness.
You may have noticed that some famous artists such as Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Rhianna are often accompanied on stage or in their music videos by commercial dancers.
Our class routines will be made to the latest pop chart music and choreography will be cool, but age appropriate. We will start with a technique based warm up class moving into a second class working on turns, leaps, and jumps across the floor and short combos in the center. During our rehearsal, we will develop choreography for a short video that we will make on the final day. (All participants will be asked to sign a release form. The video may be posted on social on The Center’s social media platforms and can be posted by participants if they tag The Center)
Group size: 5-16 participants
