Super Sundays launched
We are excited to launch "Super Sunday" dance workshops...
This series of workshops will run from our CSBS Dance Studio and are aimed at bringing technique classes in all dance styles to our students of all ages and abilites. We hope to be able to run the session once a month and keep the cost of the workshops at the same price as a regular lesson. We hope that the extra experiences will enhance our dancer's regular training and further their knowledge and enjoyment of dance. Any profit from the session will be put into our fundraising for equipment and events.
Initial workshops and feedback
Our first 'Super Sunday' session was held in February and was a Character Dance workshop based on the work the students need to complete in the Royal Academy of Dance ballet syllabus. CSBS teacher amanda lead the sessions with students from Grade 1 upward and introduced them to the history of character dance, technique, and new steps and rhythms. You can view some photos from the workshops on our CSBS Facebook page or see a few short video clips on the event page.
Our second session was in March and was Contemporary Dance with guest tutor Rachel Laird. We were delighted to have full classes and enjoyed watching the dancers explore the space with their bodies and experiment with new ideas and concepts. The sessions were great fun! You can view a gallery of photos from the Junior workshop on our CSBS Facebook page, or photos from the Mids/Senior workshop here. There are some video clips on the event page too.
Feedback has been very positive from participants so far and everyone has thoroughly enjoyed the session.
"Just to say thanks for organising the workshop yesterday. My daughter loved it and said wishes she could do it every day! I wish she had the same enthusiasm for school work! She loved the teacher and and has now changed the name of her favourite doll to Rachel."
We hope to have the next workshops scheduled soon so keep watching our venue noticeboards and social media channels for information!
