Disco Dance Classes in London - Creation adds Disco Dance classes to W2

Calling all Disco Queens and Kings – Creation’s Disco Heaven dance classes for adult beginners are stepping up and moving into Central London.

What started as a commercial jazz dance classes has evolved into some more fun and frivolous, and now Creation have opened another class in W2 for wannabe Disco Divas in London.

“When we came up with concept of Disco Heaven, it was hard to define the classes. For a while we mixed up club style routines, street dance and jazz and sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t. We found that of all the classes we ran, it was the cheesy, easy and fun routines that clients really enjoyed.”, says Creation Dance director, Elle Kealy.

“In the end Ainhoa Rey, who has been teaching Disco Heaven in Clapham for nearly 3 years, refined the classes and they now focus on fun, easy to remember disco classics. Whilst the style is more contemporary than the 70’s John Travolta everyone associates with disco, essentially it’s an hour of a good old fashioned boogie, designed to get you moving, burn some calories and feeling fabulous. We tend to get a lot of 20 and 30 something’s coming to this class, either alone or with a friend or a partner and by the end of the 12 week session everyone is relaxed and having fun. Ainhoa even brings a few 70’s style props to the final session in the term, which is always a giggle.”

Creation’s classes are now accessible to more London residents, as they’ve recently announced that they will be running new Disco Heaven dance classes in Westminster Academy Sports, W2, starting in February 2009. Classes will take place on weekday evenings and a 12 week term costs 99.00GBP. In addition, they are also offering a money back guarantee, so you don’t have to worry about booking and finding you don’t like the class.

For those who can’t wait until February, the dance classes in Clapham are starting on Monday 12th January 6pm -6.55pm in Clapham North.

Britney Spears brings her Wade Robson Choreographed Tour to London – Look out for fantastic jazz and street dance routines galore.

I was excited to see that Britney’s back in London for her Circus Tour in June 2009. Fans of Brit (and there are a few at Creation) will know that the tour is choreographed by her long time preferred dancer Wade Robson, who also worked on So You Think you Can Dance in the US and the Wade Robson Project on MTV.

What we’re really looking forward to is seeing some of the tight routines that influenced so much of the popular dance classes in the late nineties and early noughties. Britney Spears, love her or hate her, has been hugely influential in the world of commercial dance.

She’s launched careers of top choreographers, made grown women want to dress up as school girls and dance around at School Disco, brought slick commercial jazz dance to the masses in feisty and controversial videos and always puts on a fantastic live show with dance performances to match.

OK, so perhaps her last few years have not been her finest but at Creation I’m looking forward to the new singles and seeing what we’ll be dancing to in 2009! What do you think? Are you a fan of Britney? Do you think her dancers have inspired you to get on the dancefloor? If not then who has?
