Dance cont...

All pupils from Nursery to Year 6 receive specialist tuition in Dance, with a dedicated 30 minute lesson each week. Children are taught a variety of dances and have the opportunity to create their own movement phrases. Various themes are used and many different props including ribbons, torches, scarves and fans.

Styles of dance include show, jazz, contemporary and street dance. A popular Salsa Club is run by our Latin-American Modern Foreign Languages teacher.

Child initiated dance activities in the early years include dancing in the role-play area, with the children often dressing up to dance and using the musical instruments and circle games.

We have participated in the Woking Creative Dance Festival and were judged to be one of the best performances.

She has performed at Sadlers Wells, the Hackney Empire, Barbican Centre and Harstad Culture House in Norway and has taught for the London Studio Centre, Chelsea Ballet School, Sussex University and Royal Academy of Dancing, as well as the Harstad and Drammen Ballet Schools in Norway.

Georgina is currently teaching at Finchley Ballet School, Feltonfleet School and Coworth-Flexlands School as well as SRA.
Georgina has been teaching for the last 10 years with 100% pass rate and is an examiner with the RAD.

" As a fully qualified tap, ballet, modern, national, disco and ballroom teacher, I know the important impact of dance. Regardless of age or ability, the discipline, decorum and musicality that are enhanced by different types of dance are so beneficial to all areas of a child's life.

The sevice I provide is a structured and interesting series of lessons in tap, ballet or jazz. The tap is ISTD, the ballet is RAD and the jazz is freestyle. Each year the children are entered into RAD Ballet exams, perform at open mornings and prize givings and parents are also encouraged to view our progress at the end of each term".
