How to actually fake it 'til you make it
About
About Our Classes
Our classes are tailor made for singers/actors and people who love participating in community theatre but feel like they're not nailing that movement call.
We focus on breaking down basic steps that are likely to be in an ensemble movement audition or show choreography in various styles of musical theatre.
We spend time perfecting the steps without getting bogged down in learning lengthy pieces of choreography and adding that style and stage presence!
This is a judgement free zone!
I will NOT make you perform anything by yourself. I am happy to give individual feedback if you'd like it...or not! I want to create a safe space for you to feel comfortable, to build your confidence and skills and actually enjoy dancing!
About Bec
Bec has been performing in community theatre since she was 8 years old but she also has a wealth of experience on the other side of the panel; as a choreographer for theatre (Savoyards, Queensland Musical Theatre, Phoenix Ensemble and Beenleigh Theatre Group) and dance teacher (Bayside Dance, Claire Sander School of Dance, Caprice Dancing School, Stardom Studios, Kinderballet).
Bec trained in ballet, jazz and tap for over twenty years, completing exams to a high level and 2019 had the honour of learning from some of the top professionals in the industry at Broadway Dance Center in New York as part of the International Student Visa Program. Bec has also completed several professional performing contracts including two with Tokyo Disney Resort.
I have overheard people at auditions talking about how the movement portion gives them incredible anxiety. I have always felt great empathy for that feeling as I’ve felt it in different situations as I’m sure we all have. As an adult there is little opportunity to learn something new from the very beginning and I decided I wanted to develop a program where you can focus on the building blocks and not only choreography.
As there isn’t a wide variety of dance classes in Brisbane, existing classes often cater to a wide variety of skill levels and I’ve observed people feeling self conscious about their ability, reluctant to give things a go in front of more experienced dancers and teachers not having enough time to go slow and break things down.
There are so many little things that I do automatically (because I have learned dance over 20 years) that could be made explicit for new dancers but are not taught in other classes.
