2018 HERE WE COME!!!!

Welcome back to AMDC for 2018.

We're so excited to have so many new students and will be rolling out some new classes this year. There's Contemporary Lyrical for young ones and there's Beginners Hiphop for the 6-7 year olds keen to bust a move. 

Our Dance Company AM Dance Collective is performing as part of Fringe NZ Arts Festival and you'll get the chance to see Ariel and Megan both dancing together. You can grab tickets for it online at www.fringe.co.nz

We plan on working towards the HipHop Nationals again this year which was a great highlight last year. 

We've also got the Titahi Bay Beach Festival which we're thrilled to perform at in February, so come out and support all our young dancers there. 

The timetable is now online, and if you have any questions, contact me via email :)

Keep tuned for hoodies, which are coming online and tshirts which will be available from next week, also our dvd will be available very soon. 

Live to Dance Love to Dance

So much has happened in the last few terms!!!

So there's alot to catch everyone up on about our school and it's happenings. We got just outside the top 20 in NZ for Hip Hop Unite which is really amazing achievement for our first time Nationals team. Our exams had an 100% pass rate and we really enjoyed showing the examiner all our dance skills. We've now started work on our concert which is coming up soon, actually in less than a month. We've attached the concert poster to this blog post to help y'all plan the coming weeks. We're excited to announce that we're actually doing two shows this year. We've got Big Mark on board again which is fantastic, and will mean our videos and photos will be all available professionally next year! In a week or two, the HHU pictures will be uploaded. Our other exciting piece of news is that our company AM Dance Collective is performing in the new Te Ahua venue for the 2018 Fringe Arts Festival. Keep tuned in to find out more before the end of the year.

Fun Times at AMDC

Hey Everyone,

Last week was pretty fantastic. Had a massive group at AMDC Studios for the Hiphop workshop led by Sean Leach from The Company NZ.
The students learnt so much from him and it was a great experience. We also attended the NZ Ballet's Class on Stage the following
day and a fair few students turned up to see the performance. Exam Fees are being sent out this and next week and we're gearing up
for the Dance-a-Thon in a few weeks time to support our Regionals Team. 

Below is the link to see the photos from Sean's workshop!

EXCITING HIPHOP NEWS

So this past week of holidays has been very eventful. We reached our target on PledgeMe and that's pretty fantastic, and we have also confirmed our Hiphop Workshop to be taught by Sean Leach from The Company NZ. So much excitement for our hiphop students it seems. Check out the great promo poster for the workshop and book in today!

Such a Busy Month of May

So much has happened this month it's been very hard to keep up. Our Tiny Dancers and Beginners Ballet classes have been doing some fantastic work each Saturday morning and learning some great new moves to show off. We were super lucky to get an amazing sign sponsored by Glover Memorials, as you can see below, and we also had Andrea from Just Dance Supplies Ltd. come and set up shop last week, which was very exciting. Lots happening, so keep updated by checking our website and facebook page for the latest news. 

 

Love to Dance, Live to Dance

Term One Class Fun

Classes are drawing to a close and there's a lot that's happened this term. We've had lots of good fun and the students have learn't alot. We had three very successful Tiny Dancers classes and looking forward to next term. We've got our final week of classes this coming week. Below are a few pics from various classes.

Fun At NZAMD Workshop

So I spent the latter part of this weekend at an NZAMD Teachers Contemporary workshop. We all learnt alot and had the opportunity to dance and learn choreography from the actual creator of the syllabus, Anne Dewey herself. In addition to some fabulous work learnt, I bumped into one of my very first Dance Teachers Shelley Coutts. She runs a studio down in Invercargill and this is the first time since I was about 8 that we've caught up so very nice. Lots of new things to teach at Contemporary classes from now on at AMDC.

Studio Shots-February 2016 Shoot

We've been amazingly lucky to get Big Mark Photography in on the first day of classes to take some fab shots. Some more will be uploaded in the coming weeks of all our classes-Adult Dancefit too if the ladies aren't too bashful. For now, enjoy some photos of the first student that came through the door at AMDC, the lovely Zion.

The Studio Takes Shape

Very busy day working on the studio. Almost everything's complete now. Jaden and Dad did alot of the actual work- must admit I did more directing and pinning things up but a fantastic team effort- look out for our sign which is under construction. :)
