Come and join Tanja and Florian for the very first block of Inspire's Modern Jive for Teens, starting February 12th 2025, at the Riverside Community Cultural Centre.
Young people 12 – 16 years old will have heaps of fun in this 6-week block course – that ends with a party :) Over the course of the six afternoons, they will explore basic techniques and learn 13 moves to start being creative with.
The lessons will be approximately 45 minutes long, leaving plenty of time for freestyle practice to a variety of music at the end. No partner, experience or special shoes required.
Modern Jive is an easy-to-learn improv partner dance that can be used to dance to any music. Heavily influenced by Westcoast Swing, it is playful, adaptable and free-flowing.
Florian and Tanja have been part of Inspire Dance (the Richmond-based dance studio run by owners Stefan Miller and Joanna Copedo) since its inception in 2019. Today, they teach adults in Richmond on a Monday night, compete throughout New Zealand and enjoy every minute of social dancing available.
Being home-educating parents of 5, they believe learning happens when kids are engaged, comfortable and free to express themselves. Tanja has been running a community-based education program for 15 years and loves working with young people. Together, Florian and Tanja are looking forward to meeting you on the dance floor!
Please note that we need a minimum of 10 teenagers to make this course a great experience.
