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.

I didn't intend to come
Wed, 31 Oct 2007, 07:08 pmI didn't intend to come across defensive. I was just trying to point out that there was a presumption that the group was dodgy, simply because they didn't fully outline their plan here.
I agree that there might not be any need for business registration - but again, this depends on your point of view. Generally speaking, if you want to apply for funding or sponsorship, those handing out the money prefer to give it to a group that has been registered. Lotus may want to apply for funding later on, and registration now may save them some hassle.
Secondly, the point was not that the group needs business registration, but needs to be aware of safety issues, insurance, etc. Which would all be necessary to do performances.
... I simply felt that there was an over abundance of rolling eyes. I have made more than my fair share of snarky comments on this site, but this time, I personally didn't feel the need to suggest that the concept/group was to be avoided. Usually if I do think something is sus. I post my concerns.
Perhaps the radar is broken, perhaps not. Either way, it's not worth losing sleep over. Let's stop bickering now :)
