22.01.2022 We love tap the smiles say it all Tap dancers wear special shoes fitted with tap plates on the balls and heels of the feet. They allow us to create incredible beats, rhythms and sounds all with just our feet! How cool is that?! We can drag, tap, shuffle, knock, hop, wing, stamp, flick our way through upbeat songs to accentuate different beats and accents with sound!... Have you tried tap yet? If you’re interested in taking up a new style in 2021, speak to your teachers
21.01.2022 Cooling down is a vibe at PDA After dance classes, to take care of your body, we encourage dancers to help return their heart-rate to resting. This allows the body time to recover and prevents muscle soreness and potential injury. It is ideal to reduce movement and intensity slowly. This can be done by holding a passive stretch for 15 seconds and repeating. This moves lactic acid out of the muscles more easily. ... What are your favourite stretches to do during cool-down?
19.01.2022 Another throwback to our mid-year concert in 2018! We do love us some Fosse [pronounced foss-i] Bob Fosse was an American choreographer, dancer, actor and filmmaker. He’s worked on some pretty big name works you may know of musicals called Chicago and Cabaret? He is a pioneer in jazz style and is known for his flair and signature moves. Can you think of any other Fosse moves? Jazz hands are a classic, and punctuated hand movements, finger snaps, turned-in knees come to min...d. His style is described as slow and angular, rendering it truly unique Have you had a chance to dance in his style?

14.01.2022 Another highlight from Parkwood Dance Academy over the years! Can you spot any students or teachers in this photo? This contemporary piece was performed by our Advanced students. The specific style is called ‘Butoh’ which is a form of Japanese dance theatre. We love how everybody has been captured here, this in itself is like a piece of art; there are so many beautiful parts to look at. Dancing truly is art

06.01.2022 Dancing is a physical, emotional and mental challenge .
