NEW BOLLYWOOD DANCE CLASSES! Bollywood dancing is a colourful, dynamic and highly theatrical dance style seen in Indian films, a mix of the words Hollywood& Bombay. The success of a Bollywood film can be down to the quality of the
song-and-dance numbers.

It combines classical forms of dance including traditional Indian, folk, salsa, belly-dance while also incorporating more contemporary western forms such as hip hop, jazz and disco. Expressive hand gestures in Indian dance are called mudras. They come from sacred rituals in which every movement is carefully choreographed and symbolic.

This Bollywood dance course will explore this super fun, high energy and upbeat dance style. Each week will focus on new mudras and a new routine to new music EVERY week.

BOOK 2 or more New Year dance courses for 10% discount using code NEWYEAR10

The amazing Ros is leading these new dance courses specialising in and exploring classic country moves but with a twist!
“I fell in love with country music in 2013 when I was living in Canada’s wild west state of Alberta, spending weekends at the rodeo and nights out at the honkeytonk! I discovered a modern, varied genre of music where every artist is incredibly talented and every song tells a story.
Back in the UK my love of country music is stronger than ever and there’s nothing I love more than pulling on my cowboy boots and kicking up dust to feel good country music. But without a local honkeytonk, the opportunities are few and far between!
I’ve tried traditional line dance classes but the footwork and repetition makes me feel restricted. So, I decided to create the kind of dance class I would want to attend…
Simple dance routines that have been influenced by classic line dance steps with a twist of freedom from hip hop and commercial styles.
A new routine every week set to the very best country hits, old and new.
So come and join me. This is line dancing reimagined.”

Strictly Latin
2024-02-19 19:30 - 20:30 | Minchinhampton Market House, high street, minchinhampton, United Kingdom
Dazzle is excited to have Carys on board as a guest specialist teacher sharing her love of latin dance.

‘My parents say that I have been dancing even before I could walk! I’ve tried it all: ballet, tap, modern, street, jazz, contemporary, and of course ballroom and latin. They all have their merits but my favourite was always Latin: it asks for technique but also gives you the opportunity to explore your own style. I used to get reprimanded by the teacher in my tap and modern classes for stylising all my exercises with the posture of a Latin dancer. Well, it’s not my fault that my hips don’t lie! Always one to dance to my own tune, I was never a big fan of following the man around the floor. Plus, there’s only so many times that you can copy all the Strictly routines, before your mum and sister ask you to cut it out, because you’re blocking Giovanni shaking his hips in HD.
Having encountered one solo Salsa class in my time, I wanted the opportunity to glide under the glitter ball all on my own. So for those of us who sadly lack our own Giovanni waiting for us at home, now you can jive, cha cha and rhumba sans partner. He’d only slow you down anyway!
Every week, we will learn the essential technique required for the Cha Cha Cha, Rhumba, Jive, Paso Doble, and the Salsa, and combine it all in a swish choreographed routine that scores you 10s across the board, every time.’

Carys is trained to Gold ballroom and Latin standard, former member of Gloucestershire contemporary dance. Avid heels dancer and intermediate pole dancer!

Dance & Stretch
What makes a Dazzle Dance & Stretch course unique?
Every week a new fun routine, a new dance style, new feel good music.
Each routine is choreographed with three aims – I want the choreography to feel achievable and for you to leave feeling a sense of achievement – I want you to also feel challenged enough to focus on the dancing and forget about the world outside – I want to put a smile on your face. Some classes focus more on the fitness, some are bouncy, some are more technical and others but each class is independent so you can rock up, enjoy, take what you need from it and forget about it. There is no pressure to remember any moves for the next class, just enjoy then say goodbye and get on with your week.
A short warm up starts the class before gradually, section by section, we develop and learn an achievable, fun, stylish but challenging enough routine. With lots of repeated sequences, you will be able to add in more style and individuality as we run through the finished masterpiece a few times before a simple cool down. The time flies by and you can put in as much or as little as you want. If you are there for fitness, to hang out with friends, to dance, to forget about the cupboards that need sorting, it doesn’t matter.

Then we roll out our mats for a well deserved guided 15-20 minute stretch and relax. Building strength and flexibility, relaxing, reaping the benefits of the dance workout and helping you to leave the class a little less wired up.

Lucy trained at the prestigious Guildford School of Acting in Musical Theatre. Since graduating she has worked around the world performing professionally in musicals, plays, dance shows, Shakespearean productions and for a leading children’s theatre company in New Zealand. Her passion and talent for dance led her to the world of teaching and choreographing and it brings her great joy to pass on her knowledge and expertise. Her favorite styles to teach are Jazz, Lyrical, Musical Theatre and Contemporary and her choreography is often influenced from her Latin dance training, in which she competed at Blackpool many times. She enjoys dancing the Lindy Hop and Jive in her spare time and loves being swung around in partner dances!
Lucy is a freelance choreographer, and is currently working on Grease at Cheltenham College. She is a lead youth practitioner and movement director for the Everyman Theatre Cheltenham, and regularly choreographs for their Summer Productions on the main stage.
