Head coach and Guinness World Record Breaker, Jo Scanlan commented “After just four months of preparations the Tap Attack England Team achieved excellent results, including 30 medals, 9 trophies, and a world title for Matthew Hill in the Junior Male category. Other stand out results include silver medal in the Adult Small Groups, bronze medals in the Adult formation and Junior Duo’s and Trio’s”.

The team are a true representation of England with dancers travelling up to 4 hours to attend training sessions. The team have had a busy year seeing them reach the live semi finals for series 2 of Got to Dance and making their US debut in “United We Tap” in Boston.

Beings
Butoh performance inspired by "The Cenci" by Antonin Artaud.
Danced by Flavia Ghisalberti and Ezio Tangini. Music by Frank Heierli.
Beings is on the inevitability of evil, on the superfluity and unmasked falsity of any consciousness. There is no
innocence or guilt. Beatrice Cenci goes against the current morality. Her act is a revolt against arrogant
aristocracy and conformism.
'The most incredible thing is that, from this prison which life is, you will expect something else than tortures'.
A. Artaud
'The characters are not men but beings, great incarnated forces; just enough humanity remains to render
them plausible from the psychological point of view'. Antonin Artaud

Call for applications to perform in London at new major youth dance festival

2011-07-06T00:21:00.001+01:00

View Call for applications to perform in London at new major youth dance festival on DanceWeb

Applications have now opened for young dancers from around the UK to perform at U.Dance 2012 at Southbank Centre in July of next year.
The event, which will take place between 13th and 16th July 2012, will include three evening performances, open workshops during the day, a residential dance programme for youth dance groups, an international symposium for dance professionals, and the première of the first ever UK-wide youth dance company the U.Dance Ensemble, who will present their new work choreographed by Hofesh Shechter.

This extraordinary event is made possible through a partnership between Youth Dance England, Southbank Centre, YDance (Scottish Youth Dance), National Youth Dance Wales, and DU : Dance, based in Northern Ireland; which sees each organisation sharing their resources and expertise to ensure U.Dance 2012 will be a magnificent showcase of youth dance work from around the United Kingdom.

Young performers are invited to take part in two ways:

Youth dance groups can apply to perform at one of the evening performances by filling an application form available at www.u-dance.org. If shortlisted the group will perform at their Regional Youth Dance Platform between January and April 2012, where a panel will select at least one group from each region to perform at U.Dance 2012.
Selected groups will be invited to take part in a 3-day residency in London over the length of the festival during which they will take part in workshops, perform their piece at Southbank Centre, and watch other youth dance groups showcase their work.

The second opportunity is for individuals to apply to be a member of the U.Dance Ensemble, a new UK-wide youth dance company led by renowned choreographer Hofesh Shechter. Applicants need to be aged 16 to 21* from England, Northern Ireland or Scotland (the application process in Wales was through National Youth Dance Wales and is now closed). The U.Dance Ensemble will create a new work, during the course of three residencies in February (in Glasgow), April (in Cardiff) and July (in London). Dancers from England and Northern Ireland should complete the online application form on www.u-dance.org by 30th September 2011. Dancers from Scotland should contact YDance via www.ydance.org for details of how to apply. Auditions will take place in London, Manchester, Newcastle, Belfast and Glasgow in October and November 2011, with a final audition scheduled for 4th December at the Royal Opera House where Hofesh Shechter will select the company’s dancers.

When asked what he will be looking for in dancers applying for the Ensemble, Shechter said: “I will look for dancers that are committed and willing; for dancers that are able to connect with their body as a vessel to their inner world, rather than a tool to satisfy the watcher. I look for dancers that are generous in their movement and creativity, that are rhythmical and most of all carry a simplicity and a human feel in themselves.”

Jude Kelly, artistic director at Southbank Centre, said: “We are proud and excited to be hosting U.Dance 2012. It’s going to be a very special event at a very special time for London, and I am personally thrilled to welcome hundreds of young dancers from all over the country into Southbank Centre to showcase their talent.”

Young people wishing to take part in daytime workshops during the festival, and dance professionals interested in the 16th July international symposium can all register their interest by emailing u.dance@yde.org.uk

* Dancers from England will need to be aged between 16 and 19. Dancers from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales can be aged up to 21. Disabled dancers from any part of the UK can apply up to the age of 24.

DanceHouseUK has recently gained Recognised School status, just a short time after opening its doors. The award from the UK wide Council for Dance Education and Training acknowledges DanceHouseUK's policies and procedures as exceeding their stringent standards.

DanceHouseUK Principal Natascia Mazzucato said “I am so pleased to have gained this Recognised School award. It is important to me that we follow best professional practice, to keep both the students, and our teachers safe, and to ensure their continual enjoyment and progress”

Choosing a Recognised School allows parents to choose a dance school that follows professional practice. A parent would not consider leaving a child at a nursery school or playgroups without checking the credentials of the establishment, yet when it comes to choosing a dance class it is often priorities such as cost, convenience and friendships that determine choices and not professional standards.

Network of Modern Linedancing Teachers (NOMLT)

2011-02-13T00:13:00.001Z

View Network of Modern Linedancing Teachers (NOMLT) on DanceWeb

MODERN LINEDANCING 2011:

The term "Modern Linedancing" has come more into use in the last-3-6 years and is often used to help distinguish it from the traditional side of Linedancing. The traditional styles still flourish in many areas across the UK, but more clubs now advertise their style of dancing as Modern Linedancing.

Towards the end of 2010 a number of UK instructors felt the old image of Linedance was a factor in preventing many new people taking up Linedancing. Plus, every time the TV/media portrays Linedancing, the producers continue to show the old "yee haw" with everybody wearing cowboy hats image. So the instructors set out to try and change this image, and as a result the Modern Linedance movement was born.

Modern Linedancing in 2011is danced to many different style of music: Pop-Latin Disco-Rock-Swing-Hip-Hop-Mowtown-R&B-Celtic-Funky-Country. Visit any Modern Linedance class in your area and you_re very likely to hear songs by artists such as Michael Buble, LadyGaGa, JLS, The Killers, Akon, Alexander Burke, Maroon 5, Rihanna, Riverdance etc. Also, at Modern Linedance classes, and social events, most people come wearing everyday smart casual clothes.

Country & Western Linedancing (traditional): The traditional style of Linedancing differs in that dancing is still done mostly to a wide range of country music, old stuff and up-to-date songs. Quite often newer style dances are not done if suitable country music can't be found.

However, the beautiful thing about Modern Linedancing or Traditional, is that you are always sure of finding a style and class to suit you; watch out soon for the new Modern Linedancing website: htp://www.nomlt.com

LINEDANCE HISTORY (briefly):

If truth be known all Linedancing started way back with the old folk dances and western hoedowns. But Linedancing as we know it today was introduced in the latter half of the twentieth century. Some say the movie Urban Cowboy starring a young John Travolta started off the popular Linedance craze (mind you JT
always has been a good mover!).

For many though, Linedancing started with the 1992 Billy Ray Cyrus country hit "Achy Breaky Heart". A video with Billy Ray singing, and dancers in the foreground, helped the song and dance go global. Then in the mid 90s another new dance "Swamp Thing" by American choreographer Max Perry, came along. This was one of the first known techno/non-country songs used for Linedancing; the real start of Modern Linedancing?

As the "new country" movement took hold in the late 80s, many of the leading country artists Alan Jackson, Dwight Yoakham, Travis Tritt, Marty Stewart etc, recorded songs specifically for the country dance market.

While American choreographers (Max Perry, Jo Thompson and others) have led the way, along with the likes of Rob Fowler, Robbie McGowan Hickey, Kate Sala (to name but a small few), the UK now has a top-class group of choreographers whose dances are performed all over the world. These are being joined regularly by choreographers from Europe and creators of wonderful new Linedances from all around the world. It's true to say that in 2011, Modern Linedancing is truly a
global phenomenon!

Genuine Hawaiian Hula Classes for beginners.
4 week course, Tuesdays 8-9pm, beginning 16th Nov 2010, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, UK. Please contact to book your place.

The native dance of Hawaii features movements of the body and feet, whilst the arms and hands tell the story of the 'mele' or song. (NB: This is NOT Hula Hoop).

The body movements provide an intense workout for the legs and lower body; the graceful and calming arm movements require complete concentration making this dance a great stress buster.

In the beginners course you will drill basic movements and learn two easy meles.

Some Belly Dance experience really helps, but those with no experience are also welcome.

View Street Session's new dance term starts 19th August 2010 on DanceWeb

Following a successful year of street & hip hop dance courses, Street Sessions is running two Street & Hip Hop dance courses starting the 19th August, one for absolute beginners (those of us who have never danced, but always wanted to!) and another course for those of you who have danced before.

During the course you’ll be introduced to all the basics of street dancing and choreography all set to funky beats selected by your teacher. You’ll also learn floor techniques and will build on a routine each week.

We offer students the option of signing up for a full term (12 weeks) or half a term (6 weeks) and the choice of two levels, Beginners and General.

12 week Street and Hip Hop Dance Term
Thursdays: Beginners 6.45-7.45pm
Thursdays: General 7.45-8.45pm
1. 19th August 2010 - 23rd September (6 weeks)
2. 14th October 2010 - 18th November (6 weeks)

Price
£60 - 6 weeks
£100 - 12 weeks

Check out our website http://www.streetsessions.co.uk where you can get more info about the courses and sign up!

Beginners!

Don't worry if you've never danced before, Street Session’s Street & Hip Hop Beginners Dance Course is specifically designed for those of us who have just a little dance experience or none at all (but have always wanted to!). Our teachers will take you through the basics at your own pace before moving on to the next step.

In our beginner’s course you will be introduced to basic street dancing moves, learn basic floor moves (moves on the floor!) as well as learn techniques to help you link steps and remember choreography.

Our beginners course is a great introduction to dance, and a great way to learn in a fun environment where others are also new to the steps.

Danced Before?

Whether it's been a few years or you just want to get back into dancing - Street Sessions Street & Hip Hop General Course is the best way to ease yourself back into dancing without going back to absolute basics.

This is a faster paced course where you’ll learn a routine, have the opportunity to suggest tunes and improve on your own technique.
