Taking part in dance shows is important to Just Dance. Participation in these events provides the pupils with the opportunity to build confidence and skill in performance, in an environment where they can bond and observe each other to improve. We are keen to recognise progress, and often enter our pupils into dance exams and competitions. This provides individual goals, and helps to perfect techniques which have been learned.
Dance has always been a interest and passion of mine and, from a young age, I began learning and training in a variety of styles, from Jazz, Ballet & Modern dance to Contemporary and Street/Hip Hop. Over the years, my experiences include performing at local theatre groups and taking part in many local and community dance projects as a performer and choreographer. I trained at York St John University where I achieved a BA(Hons) Degree in Dance and Performance Arts.
