18.01.2022 Dear MDA family, I realise it's been a long time since I've posted, and you're well overdue for an update! MERAKI DANCE ACADEMY WILL BE REOPENING IN 2021 ... It's wonderful that QLD is back on track following COVID-19 with many businesses now able to reopen, however I myself have a slight complication in reopening the dance school just yet... I have been busily at work creating a little baby, due in September! With the school still so young, and then having to be put on hold whilst we all did our bit to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, I have had to conclude that resuming classes for only a handful of weeks isn't the best path to follow just now. Instead I have made the decision to start afresh in the new year, and am so looking forward to seeing everyone then!! Miss Heather PS. Whilst classes won't return this year, I am still most happy to take enquiries! Just please allow for a delay in response once baby comes along

18.01.2022 Dear MDA family, With the latest government measures in place we have sadly had to close our doors for the time being. Thank you for everyone that has supported the school so far, as such a young business it is heartbreaking to have to stop so early, but it’s just a small part to play in maintaining the welfare of all Australians. I wish everyone the best of health in the coming weeks and months, look after yourselves and look out for others. Miss Heather

29.12.2021 PLIES: Don't underestimate this exercise. Never just think of your pliés as being an exercise you do at the beginning of the barre to then be forgotten about ti...ll the next class. Plié is the one movement without which we could not really dance: we could not jump, we could not move smoothly from one position to another. In the same way an overture before a ballet gives you an idea of what is going to come, so are pliés an indication of what things will be like in the rest of the class. In our plié exercise there is evidence of our posture (& consequently our balance), our weight placement (is it moving correctly from two feet to one foot when we transition to the next position), our musicality (are we not only keeping in time but are we showing the nuances of the music by using the "ands" & the "a"s) & are we using our arms and upper body to show our artistry. If you are doing a demi plié & a rise, feel like you are doing a jump in slow motion and realise how the plié needs to be strong & positive to get you into the rise (& down the track, a jump) Work your feet hard when transitioning from one position to the next, to start preparing them for what is ahead in the class. Don't just bend & stretch the legs, rather work your turnout so you feel the spiral rotation of the legs so that at the end of the plié you are more turned out than when you started. Be conscious of the hand at the barre, that you could take it off the barre at any time to check if your weight is correctly placed. There is so much that pliés tell us about the dancer and what is likely to come. Don't waste this exercise! See more
