DANCE

CLASSES

MF Fitness & Dance is a family orientated school where the students come first! Our caring & supporting environment will allow students to thrive & ignite their passion for dance all while having fun.

We will provide outstanding training in all genres for our dancers to help them become the best dancers they can be. Our training will allow all students to become versatile & well rounded performers.

All of our styles are of equal importance & that will be supported & demonstrated to our students.

All of our ballet classes will be taught with the highest attention to detail & training to ensure all dancers are receiving the best technical training possible. At MF Fitness & Dance we will be teaching the RAD Syllabus in all ballet classes which will then allow the students to decide if they would like to sit their exam at the end of the year. Our training will be of the highest level ensuring dancers are not only training smart but they are also training safe. Ballet is the foundation to all dance styles & the technique & discipline our dancers will learn in ballet will carry over to all other classes.

All students will learn the RAD Ballet Syllabus in their ballet classes & will then be offered the opportunity to sit their exam at the end of the year if they wish. RAD Ballet Exams allows students to focus on their syllabus work whilst improving on their technique & conditioning. Sitting a ballet exam can allow a great feeling of achievement for the students & can create a foundation & goal.

CONTEMPORARY

Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements. It is a dynamic form that originated in the early 20th century and is constantly evolving. Dancers will learn contraction & release, precision, use of strength in movement, releasing of the centre & challenging their centre, self expression & personal interpretation.

LYRICAL

Lyrical is a style of dance that combines freedom of movement, fluidity and expressiveness as well as using technical elements of both ballet & jazz. This style is focused on conveying meaning and emotion through the interpretation of music. Lyrical allows dancers to connect to their performance piece & gain a sense of flow with their movement.

This program is not only about the physical side of dance but it will be introducing dance theory into our program, fitness training as well as teaching our students to create a positive mindset as a dancer. We will also be providing further professional training for these dancers every 3rd Sunday for an hour. There is an audition process for this squad & will only be a small group of dancers who are selected & show they are completely engaged into the course.

PERFORMANCE SQUAD

Our performance squads are selected through a trial class & have additional classes on top of their regular ones to learn more routines, refine technique further & focus on performance skills to take their dancing to that next level. Our MF Performance Squads will perform in competitions throughout the year & have the chance to learn from guest choreographers.

Our Performance Squads are for those dancers wanting to improve & increase their performance experience as well as take their dance training a little further.

Our normal Performance Squad teams will learn a contemporary, lyrical & jazz routine & we have our extra squads including Hip Hop, Ballet & Musical Theatre.
