PUPIL OF THE MONTH

It's been a busy time at Dance Central but it's time to start back our Pupil of the Month award!

Each month we will be selecting a Pupil of the Month who will have their picture on the front of the Dance Central website and a story on why they are Pupil of the Month. The Pupil of the Month award can be won by absolutely anyone at Dance Central as it is not just given to the best dancer, it could be based on who has shown the most improvement, who always has a smile on their face and has a shining personality, who has been trying their hardest in class, who has great attendance, who listens well to the teacher etc etc.

Every pupil at Dance Central has a chance of wining pupil of the month, so come on everyone, who is going to be our Pupil Of The Month for May?

BOYS ONLY HIP HOP

Dance Central has now been running our boys only Hip Hop class for over 4 years and is proving to be very popular.

Boys that attend age from 4 years to 16 years.

They attend classes two to three times a week and they also have the option to take part in private lessons to perfect their moves for any competitions that are coming up.

Some boys prefer to attend once a week for fun and to help keep fit and healthy. Boys that attend regularly throughout the year have the chance to perform in our annual show. Some of our boys also attend gymnastic lessons to help them with their tricks and flips.

Dance Central currently trains 60 boys per week in street dance with poppin', lockin', breakin', fancy footwork, performance skills and rhythm...We have great fun throughout the process!

To all the boys at Dance Central. Well done guys you're all doing so well. keep up the hard work -it will only pay off when it comes to performance time!

Our boys have also been in our local newspapers, please click the links to read the articles.

SWEET SURPRISE

Everyone at Dance Central woudl like to say a massive well done to our very own Sweet Surprise (Mya McDade)

Mya made it all the way to the live final of Sky 1's Got To Dance and was the only solo act to make it through to the final.

Although narrowly missing out on the top prize she received standing ovations from the audience and the judges.

The comments from the judges were incredible with Ashley Banjo of Diversity stating "You are destined to become a superstar and one day the whole world will know your name" and Kimberley Wyatt of the Pussycat Dolls claiming "You are one of the best performers I have EVER seen!"

Well done Mya, you made all of us at Dance Central very proud.
