24.01.2022 JOIN US FOR TUMBLE TOTS - term 4- enquire now! Island Dance are proud members of Acrobatic Arts following their pre school program right into their advanced syllabi. From AA: ... The Acrobatic Arts AcroDance Pre School Program is not just Acro, it is a curriculum that supports physical literacy in dance, with the addition of acrobatics. 1 Stand on One Foot: This skill practices balance and teaches the foundational dance skill; retire. 2 Butterfly: Posture is important in dance and acro. Butterfly is a great way for students to learn to sit tall while providing a gentle stretch. 3Skipping: Working across the floor helps dancers learn spacial awareness but also encourages musicality for all dance forms in the future. In AcroDance, we focus on the coordination of skipping and how this skill promotes strength by training control and engagement in the working leg. 4 Baby Bridge is the precursor of a bridge. Alignment is crucial in the technique of a bridge. This skill is a great start for students to comprehend parallel positioning. 5frog Jumps: Learning how to forcefully leave the floor, this skill ensures dancers learn the concept of power for future tumbling lines.

24.01.2022 Island Dance 2021 timetable Public Enrolments open Monday 11th January via our website. Please feel free to contact us via message or email for any enquires.

Originally from Holland, Miss Shree moved to Australia at a young age where she developed her musical skills specialising in playing Cello. As a member of the Cairns Symphony Orchestra, Miss Shree performed in many orchestral events throughout Northern Queensland. ...

19.01.2022 ATTENTION STUDENTS/PARENTS It has come to my attention more and more students are attending dance classes without water bottles. I cannot stress the importance of bringing water and remaining hydrated as a dancer. All teachers provide a much needed drink breaks during classes. ... Water aids in digestion and is important in the transport and elimination systems of the body. It's important for dancers to know that being properly hydrated helps keep the body from overheating. Helping the body promote heat loss when dancing full out will improve their performance and aid in recovery. See more

13.01.2022 RUNNING INTO 2021 LIKE... Despite 2020 being a very unique and different year, I have personally gained so much from the year.

I am honoured with the support we have had this year and as we run into 2021 I am excited for what the journey ahead holds for Island Dance.

06.01.2022 MEET THE ISLAND DANCE TEAM 2021 I am pleased to be welcoming Miss Rhyannon to the Island Dance team this year as one of our student teachers. After assisting with our Acro classes for the past two years she has recently completed her Pre School AcroDance teaching certification with Acrobatic Arts. ... I am super proud to have her start her teaching journey with our lovely tumble tots and excited to be guiding her through her first steps into dance facilitation. Filled with enthusiasm and fresh ideas, Miss Rhyannon is going to be a wonderful role model for our mini acrobats here at Island Dance.

04.01.2022 MEET THE ISLAND DANCE TEAM 2021 I am excited to be welcoming back our lovely Miss Kirsty for all tap classes from children to adults! Starting dancing at the age of many of our young tots, Miss Kirsty studied a variety of dance genres in Melbourne. Her professional training lead onto her completing her Teaching Diplomas with the Commonwealth Society of Teachers of Dancing in Tap, Theatrical and Jazz Genres.... Miss Kirsty has a wealth of dancing experience, performing in numerous concerts, floorshows and many public events. As an honours grade tap dancer, this is where Miss Kirsty's passion lies. She particularly enjoys creating sequences with intricate timing and wonderful patterns for our dancers to enjoy. She is looking forward to be working with our tap students both children and adults. As a previous successful studio owner in Melbourne, Miss Kirsty has had fantastic experience creating and leading classes for all genres and ages, along with devising exciting concerts and fulfilling her life long dream and passion for dance. Her teaching beliefs are that with the right direction and encouragement, anyone can learn the art of dance, rhythm and develop their coordination skills. Miss Kirsty has a very similar teaching method to Miss Marie and is a strong believer in respect and discipline within the dance studio, and for students to be having fun through learning. She is passionate about dance and is happy to be sharing her skills and experience with the Island Dance students.
