Term 2 Online Classes Information
We are excited to present our Term 2 Timetable complete with some additional changes to the studio for Term 2 as we all navigate through Covid-19 and its effects on our dance families.
Why it’s important to keep dancing
There are many reasons why we believe you should try and keep up your dance studies during these tough times:
-
Dance is an excellent form of exercise and exercise helps to keep our brain happy and healthy as well.
-
Live classes gives us the chance to connect with teachers and friends.
-
We are able to maintain our technique and memory of steps we have worked hard learning as well as progressing onto news things.
-
Dance is a great form of stress release and it is something to look forward to and help distract us during these monotonous weeks.
-
To create, move, extend ourselves and have fun, that is why we dance!
Moving forward in Term 2 we are able to provide the following to our dance community:

Pre-recorded Classes
While the live classes have worked really well for our students in our trial period at the end of Term 1, we are aware that many of our Dance family has limited reception at their home dwellings and thus a pre-recorded video can be a better option for those student allowing them to:
-
Watch at any time and as many times as they like - allowing the dancer to be in the best frame of mind for dancing.
-
Ability to pause and take more time to attempt the step if needed

Transfer the recording to a portable device to move to a bigger practice area if the computer area was not sufficient.

Ability to download anywhere through our dedicated PPAC Team App
