DANCE 4 LIFE COURSES
Course Structure
Dance 4 Life strongly believes in the learning process of combining private one-on-one instruction with group based learning. The group classes provide a framework for your learning throughout the Dance 4 Life term, and gives you the opportunity to learn and practice with fellow students. The private lessons allow you to hone and develop your own personal skills with an experienced instructor, so that you can return to your group classes with better personal knowledge and confidence during the group class.

Course Progression
Dance 4 Life courses are designed to be ongoing programs that allow you to continue straight on to the next term. Each term will cover alternate patterns whilst still working on the underlying fundamentals and principles related to that level of dance. An amount of balance, posture and body connection will be developed before you are progressed to the next level. You will be notified by either your D4L course instructor or a senior D4L instructor when you are ready.
The general time spent in each level is 3-6 terms. This can vary depending on your previous experience in either dancing or other activities where body awareness and understanding of body mechanics are necessary.
For experienced dancers, please be aware, that there are a number of fundamental dance concepts that you will be required to master and demonstrate before progression or entry into the higher levels. This is to maintain quality of the higher level courses to ensure there is no unnecessary repetition of lower level concepts.
