In the fall we’ll be bringing you some very important dance data and analysis! The list is separated into four regions, then by cities/towns, and businesses in alpha order.

    February offered a challenging month due to water shortage, resulting in the schools closing early, in turn challenging the attendance of students, teaching in very hot classrooms and having to bring in litres of water to avoid dehydration. The students in Hlengisa had a great start with lots of beginners joining classes, enjoying every moment in class and also many showing lots of potential. Some of the Senior students have not been able to attend classes due to moving on to high schools in different areas and public transport being a challenge. Many of these students are also attending extra academic classes after school.

Dancing with Basebone, a celebration with Basebone, a mobile entertainment company that provides value added services within the telecom industry across 4 continents and present in Africa, Europe and the UK, their celebration of 10 Years of Growth Delivering Mobile Entertainment. Like Basebone we believe that Entertainment Drives Change and play an important role in individual and social development.

Hip hop dance has taken many forms throughout its four decades ofexistence. This research shows that regardless ofthe form there are three prominent characteristics: performance, personal style, and competition. Although it is possible to isolate the study ofeach ofthese characteristics, they are inseparable when defining hip hop dance. There are several genre-specific performance formats in which hip hop dance is experienced. Personal style includes the individuality and creativity that is celebrated in the hip hop dancer. Competition is the inherent driving force that pushes hip hop dancers to extend the form's physical limitations.

  • Requirements for Company Member Ages 11+ As of July 2018 All Students Are REQUIRED to Take the Following Classes During the School Year
    Elite Dance Teams Audition Slip 2018-19 Elite’s dance teams are an amazing opportunity to develop technical dance skills, while making great friends and building confidence. Being on a dance team is a commitment and it is unfair to expect your child to excel in anything with limited weekly instruction. If dancing is something your child does in addition to other activities for fun that is great! However, joining a competition team under those circumstances would not benefit your child or the team as a whole. Please keep this in mind before you audition. The requirements, expectations, and commitment level for team members are as follows: Team Auditions: Friday May 4th 2018 Ages 4-6 3:00-4:00pm Ages 7-10 4:00-6:30pm Ages 11+ 6:30-9:00pm School Year and Summer Dance Requirements The Dance Company: Requirements for Company member ages 11+ as of July 2018 All students are REQUIRED to take the following classes during the school year: *Ballet Technique (1hr twice per week) *Performance Ballet (1hr) (pre-pointe or pointe may substitute this) *Stretch and Conditioning (1hr) *Jazz (1hr) *Leaps and Turns (1hr) *Contemporary or lyrical (1hr) *Hip-Hop (1hr) *Legs and Feet (1hr) *Tumbling (May be substituted) *This is a ten hour a week program.

We invite you to consider the performances on McCallum’s Field Trip Series as non-print texts available for study and investigation by your students. Anyone who has shown a filmed version of a play in their classroom, used a website as companion to a textbook, or asked students to do online research already knows that “texts” don’t begin and end with textbooks, novels, and reading packets. They extend to videos, websites, games, plays, concerts, dances, radio programs, and a number of other non-print texts that students and teachers engage with on a regular basis. We know that when we expand our definition of texts to the variety of media that we use in our everyday lives, we broaden the materials and concepts we have at our disposal in the classroom, increase student engagement, and enrich learning experiences. Please consider how utilizing your McCallum performance as a text might align to standards established for reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language.

This musicality might have seemed something of a throwback if not for the fact that few choreographers—perhaps not even George Balanchine—have been so precisely and wittily attentive to the structural nuances of a musical score, and if not for the fact that Morris directed his musicality at any genre whatsoever, from un-championed gems of the PRESENTS $25,000+ baroque repertory, to the Carnatic traditions of India, to deep cuts from mavericks like Yoko Ono and Harry Partch.
