Dipadees Dance
|
Dipadees Dance has been created with the idea that dance should be fun and that dance is for everyone. This means there are no examinations, no gradings, no competitions and performances are fun and relaxed.
We want our students to really enjoy dance and movement and to develop their own style and talent. We still embrace all of the basic fundamentals of dance including musicality, position, coordination, strength, stamina and discipline but without unnecessary pressure. Dancing is a great way to get fit, to develop strength and coordination and to build your self confidence and awareness. Attending classes is also a fantastic social and bonding activity. Kinder Dance: $12.80 for a half hour session Intermediate all styles: $15.80 for forty five minute session |
