LOTUS DANCE COLLECTIVE Touching down in Feb. 2008 Creating new Dance works with a unique edge To be creative is to breathe, it is to live to the fullest extent we possibly can… Dance is a culture… The idea of a dance ‘school’ brings such restrictive memories! We started dancing at the age of three… ever since we can remember we have loved it! However the choreography was always the same… so we started making up our own dances… they were always unique.. To the flavours of contemporary / hip hop/ funk styles.. We want to create new works that push the boundaries and peoples minds.. We have won choreographic competitions and have also choreographed at previous dance schools, usually with no recognition. We want to be able to create our own unique works with other dancers, put on a performance and sit back and be proud of what we have achieved. I don’t think we can find that at any dance school in Adelaide! If you would like to come on this creative journey with us please contact us for further information… lets push the boundaries of sound and movement. www.myspace.com/lotus_dance_collective

Did you watch 'so you think you can dance'. Many auditionees were dance teachers who had a passion and the judges were horrified they were teaching. I hope you have the proper credentials that cover your dance collective- accreditation for safe dance practices etc. please keep that in mind. Make sure you have adequate public liability insurance Maybe its only SA that doesnt but they are introducing policies that new dance schools need some sort of qualification to teach. It is really important. I dont think all the posts are in vain, I just think people are wary about what they get themselves into. It DOES matter how good a teacher is and how qualified they are in order to provide safe teaching practices. I think people have genuine concerns I just dont think how you have handled this is very professionally.
