How to be a Club Dancer… read one amateur dancers story….
Manda Johnson has been dancing for 2 years and came to the very first Club Creationz session in 2007. She now spends her summer working in the Mediterrean dancing for DJ's such as Judge Jules, Dave Pearce and Pete Tong. But this is not her full time job and is something Manda does for fun, rather than for the pay.
“I always loved dancing and I remember going out to clubs and watching the dancers on stage. I never thought I would be up there myself – but little by little I’ve managed to learn more and more and now I can work freelance whenever I want. I spent last summer during a sabbatical dancing in Ibiza for world famous DJ’s which was a fantastic experience.”
So how did Manda get into podium dancing? “ I started dancing late, when I was about 21,” she says, “At first I went to street dance classes, which really helped me to learn how to move, how choreography works, and feel more comfortable dancing. I saw an advert in the local paper for nightclub dancers, and I really wanted to apply, but dancing in nightclubs is different to dancing in class because you have to make the moves up on the spot.”
Wanting some extra help with this freestyle element, Manda enrolled in Club Creationz, a half day course for beginners which teaches tricks and tips for all aspiring podium dancers.
“The course was great, because it made me realise that it’s not as hard as it looks, and that you can do very simple beginners moves and still make a performance look energised and professional. I had to practice quite a bit for my first audition, and I was really nervous, but I couldn’t believe it when I got the job!”
Manda worked in a local nightclub each Friday night for 4 months, and says she learnt a lot of her skills on the jobs, either from other dancers, or classes she was doing during the week. After several months, she felt confident enough to try her luck working abroad.
“Auditions can be really daunting”, she says, “but you have to learn to push your own limits and step out of your comfort zone. It’s one of the reasons I love dancing. It constantly challenges me to be better, to do things I am afraid of and to improve. Plus – it’s a great way to stay in shape and get paid for being holiday!”
So what tips does Manda have for other people who want to learn to podium dance?
1. Go to dance class – any dance class, and learn as many moves in a variety of styles as you can. Don’t stop going when you get work, more classes makes you more versatile
2. Don’t be afraid of auditions – they horrible but you have to do them, and each one is good practice for the next so go to as many as you want!
3. Always check out the club before you accept a job. Make sure the work is as described, that your contract is set out clearly and you know your pay and when to expect it
4. Make sure you keep in shape and present yourself well. Don’t turn up late and remember you are an advert for the club so be smiley and friendly.
5. Have fun! This is a great job and can be very rewarding. Just go for it!
Club Creationz will be running on April 26th 12pm-2pm in Central London. Book a place now at www.creationdance.co.uk

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?:
