Beginner Level This intensive group is designed for beginner dancers. Classes start from the very basics.

On the last session, a video will be filmed with a professional videographer.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON INTENSIVE GROUPS
BEGINNER LEVEL
Structure:
At the beginning of each class, we will do a joint warm-up that strengthens the body.
After this, we will practice the basic technique of heels dancing through short exercises that we repeat weekly. We will also learn a joint choreography, with which we will practice performing. In the last class, you will have the opportunity to film a dance video with a professional videographer. Choreographies will be filmed in small groups.
What will you learn?
In the Intensive group, you will notice your own progress quickly, as you will receive more personalized instruction than in weekly classes. We will learn, for example, basic postures (such as bevel) and how to strengthen balance and weight transfers. Challenges also include movement dynamics and coordination, as well as musicality. The goal is for you to learn the choreography in three weeks so that in the fourth class you can practice performing through various dance exercises. The course offers many good tips for videography and performing. In addition, the course will give you tools to overcome stage fright so that you can enjoy dancing even in front of the camera! <3
If you are selected,..
If you are selected for the group, attendance at all training sessions is expected (maximum 1 absence allowed).
In addition, you will need dance-appropriate high heels.*
If desired, you can bring knee pads to classes.
*Shoes:
Shoes suitable for indoor dancing are recommended for the course.
The best heel type is either stiletto or hourglass-shaped.
The shoes should not have a thick sole so that you can dance safely.
The shoes can be either closed-toe, e.g., with zippers and/or laces, or they can be pumps.
