Dance Workshops
These are held occasionally – usually on weekends or in the breaks between terms.
These may include a guest instructor, focus on a dance not in our usual rotation or prepare us to go to a special local event.
​
Workshops may also be restricted to intermediate & advanced dancers in a particular dance or style.
​
The DanceFix syllabus also includes a generic workshop series that focuses on technique, styling, musicality, partnership or tricks (lifts & drops) - see below.
We recommend our students attend each one at least once.
Contact us to be kept in the loop or
follow our Facebook Events page to book in for the next one.
