Awake Studio

Awake Studio

AWAKE Movement and Dance Studio offers a safe non-threatening environment for youth and women of all ages to express themselves through freedom in movement.

AWAKE is for enriching growth through all styles of movement, letting your guard down, expressing who you are, and lastly allowing yourself to be free. A home away from home embodied in empowerment, confidence, support, and so much more.

CLASS SYLLABUS
Each class is approached differently depending on the teacher, but the fundamentals stay the same. All of the classes at Awake are embodied with different styles of dance. We don't teach a specific style of dance, but teach movement in all forms, wanting to make sure that all of our students are learning but in fun, not threatening way.

Our mission is to teach movement/drama/and music but with teamwork, fun, and creativity. Warm up (alternating between teacher leading and occasionally students having the opportunity to lead) ATF skills -- basic technical steps followed by steps/arms of child's choice plus opportunities for students to suggest add-ons to a skill to make it individualised.

Sometimes we do some creative dance/interpretive movement with different themes/guidelines to enhance the child's creativity and approach to exploring different methods of expression through movement.

Work on a set dance by the teacher and/or constructively create a dance sequence as a group with the child's input. A dance-related game/cool down to 're-focus' and end on a positive note. ...read more
