Programmes

At Shawn & Gladys DanceWorld we understand that parents are not looking for a one size fits all type of dance programme. That is why we have several different options to pick from that will fit the needs and development of your child, whether they want to enjoy a weekly recreational class or pursue competitive dance and other performance based programmes.

 

School Age Programmes:

DanzKidz Programmes (Ages 5~12)
This special programme has been designed with the little dancer in mind who has not had any formal dance instruction. It is fast paced and definitely a fun way to build the necessary skills for a regular dance class. Students will learn counting to music, work on motor skills and on steps to help develop balance and coordination. Students will learn short fun routines in the beginning of the year.

Experienced students will expand the basic skills they have learned through group dance with formation changes. Hip Hop is introduced to help reinforce counting to music and making musical rhythms with our feet. Now how fun is that! Hip Hop continues to evolve into one of the most exciting dance genres of today.  Students will learn urban style, which is a combination of popping and locking mixed with Jazz steps. What makes this class popular with parents is we pre-screen the music to make sure it is appropriate.

Youth Dance Programmes (Ages 13~21) 
Youth dance programmes are perfect for teenagers and young adults. Students receive a basic introduction to the various types of dance offered in the class they select.

For those who danced when they were very young and now want to pursue dance, we will focus on building a solid foundation, so students can quickly catch up with their peers.

Intermediate Programmes
We recognize that some students are looking for something more besides a recreational class. For students, with a year of dance experience, we offer dance programmes based on age and ability that offer more intensive training.
Classes are designed for students who have developed good musicality skills, and they are now ready to work on body line and other skills that will prepare them for more difficult choreographic principles. Students will learn choreography for performances, examinations and competitions.

Advanced Programmes
Performance- It is a great way to gain stage presence skills, confidence, pose and technique in a fun team atmosphere. Classes include Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Jive or Paso Doble.
Competitive – Students who have an interest can join this programme. Students will be trained and equipped for competitions in Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz, Quickstep, Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Jive or Paso Doble. Classes meet on a weekly basis or more, and they will attend dance competitions on a national level, regional level or international level. Students will be grouped according to skill level. This programme requires instructor approval.

 

Adult Programmes:
We offer recreational classes in Ballroom Dances, Latin Dances and Social Dances for adults. We focus on basic skills and move onto fun routines as the sessions progresses. Classes and instructors decide whether they want to dance in community performances.
