‘DANCEFUZE’ COMMERCIAL DANCE CLASSES FOR ADULT BEGINNERS DEBUT IN LONDON


People who are inspired by the moves and grooves of their favourite celebs, from Lady Gaga to Madonna or Beyonce, will shortly be able to dance to their hearts content when Creation Dance launches its new dance class ‘DanceFuze’ in September 2010.



The new classes, which are run by the UK specialist adult beginners dance company Creation Dance, are located in various locations across London, and will offer adult beginners the chance to try something a little different from the street dance or hip hop classes already on offer.


Director and Creation Instructor Ainhoa Rey says; “Just like our signature street dance class, Urban Groovz, DanceFuze will be for people who have never thought about going to a dance class before, from adult beginners to older learners who would like find a new and exciting way to get fit. The difference between this class and street dance or hip hop classes, is that this class is more sexy, sassy and suitable for pop music lovers who want to try something different from the norm. Think a cross between a Lady Gaga video and Glee, without the singing!”

For those people who are afraid of leg warmers and Lycra, fear not, Creation is happy to leave this to the celebs and promises to let you bust a move in your gym gear and trainers in a friendly adult learner environment.

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?

Check out Britney in rehearsal on Youtube here - is it me or does she perform so much better in the studio than on stage?:

How Web 2.0 Can Help You Learn To Dance

How Web 2.0 Can Help You Learn To Dance

Dance classes are traditionally taught in the studio, with mirrors, an instructor and some pumping music. We’re not going to suggest that classes are taught any differently at the moment, but savvy dancers are using the internet to find classes and teachers that suit them better. This in turn is putting pressure on dance schools to wise up and embrace internet marketing and technology to entice students to their classes.

Not so long ago, to find a class you had to commit to turning up in person, to a room full of more experienced dancers, and to trialling a class to find out if you liked it or not. Then there was trying to decide which style: hip hop, or street (what’s the difference?), street jazz, or jazz funk. It was all so confusing, time consuming and expensive.

Now many teachers will regularly post their classes online on YouTube for example. This not only acts as a great advert, it gives the students a chance to review the class and remember routines for the next week.

Creation Dance, a dance class provider based in London and with classes in Oxford and Brighton exclusively markets and sells its classes online for a number of reasons. Speaking of the model, founder Elle Kealy says,” This is a great platform for consumers. Not only can they access our national classes from their home or office, they can view each teacher’s class online, decide which style they like best and sign up without having to spend time and effort coming to the classes. For a company such as ours, which started out with a simple website and one class, this enables us to reach out nationally. Starting dance classes in Oxford and Brighton would not have been possible using the traditional dance school approach. Students still come along to classes each week, but they know what they are getting.

Creation Dance plans to take this evolution further. With a new website launching in November 2008, Creation hope to have online dance classes for students to follow live as well as community portals and jobsites, where dancers can subscribe to rss feeds alerting them to the latest news and views.

For now the new site is committed to providing information and booking services for enthusiastic dancers, but the hope is that by mid 2009 the dance world will have truly caught up with technology.

Dancers can visit the site at http://www.creationdance.co.uk and give their feedback and ideas.
