Synopsis

There is no better way to fall in love with dance than to explore a new genre for yourself! Take the first step to dance through these engaging and experiential dance workshops, led by experienced Singapore dance instructors.

 

Adults and Preschoolers

It is never too young to start dancing: Dance and play along with children from 3-6 years old!

 

Baby Pop

Introduce your 3 to 6 year olds to moving and dancing in this fun-filled workshop featuring their favourite animation-based tunes, such as songs from Trolls, Moana, The Little Mermaid, and more. Children will pick up a sense of rhythm through basic movement patterns and simple dance moves. Accompanying adults are also encouraged to participate.

 

Superheroes

Doll up as your favourite superheroes and idols and dance to a journey showing resilience, strength and fighting spirit!

Explore some cool and power moves as Converge Studios bring you along your Superheroes journey.

 

Happy Feet

Energetic, fun and upbeat, this hip hop dance class will get your kids grooving and bouncing, using more footwork as foundation!

 

Flamenco Play!

Let’s have fun with rhythm, claps and stamps! Parents and kids are welcome to journey together with Flamenco dance in this class where they play, respond and bond.

 

Swing

Learn how to do the Stomp Offs, Fish Tails, Boogie Backs, and other authentic jazz dance steps from the Swing era! This session will focus on fun, even as it gets your child learning rhythms and getting coordinated.

 

Broadway

Dance to your favourite showtunes and learn some Broadway jazz, characterised by high-energy and big movements.

 

Jazz and Fly

It is adventure time! Journey with us as we fly with Peter Pan to the second star to the right. Party with the pirates, find the fairies, swim with mermaids and run from the crocodile, we will do it all while learning basic movements of jazz.

 

Participants are encouraged to come dressed up as a character from the story!

 

This programme is presented as part of da:ns focus – EveryBody, a weekend of dance with inclusivity, diversity and participation, where we encourage everybody and every body to experience dance.

Tania Goh of Spanish Dance Singapore

Creativity has no borders and manifests in Tania’s multi-faceted experiences—as dancer, teacher, arts producer and digital creator.

 

Her passion for flamenco sparked off when she took a sabbatical to Seville, Spain.

 

From passion to profession, her path took momentum bridging artists from Spain to international shores through shows, master workshops, tours, online and video platforms. This all inspires new paths for learning, interaction and explorations with her artists who generously transmit to her. She loves to teach and share Spanish Dance culture as an expressive way of life.
