World of Dance Championship 2017
World of Dance Championship 2017
We held the draw on Saturday and we now have the line up for the big night. Some competitors were delighted with their given style, some had never tried that particular dance but were up for the challenge and some screamed in terror and prayed to a higher power for help.
Each dancer will perform a uniquely choreographed routine in the dance style that was chosen at random. They have just five weeks to learn and then perform it on Saturday 8th July at Phoenix. An independent judge will select the champion who will win the title of Phoenix Dance Studio’s World of Dance Champion 2017 which comes with a $1000 cash prize
Make sure to get your tickets for Saturday 8th July for a great night of dancing and to cheer and stamp and clap for everyone performing that evening.
So here they are, the brave and the bold:
World of Dance Championship 2017
THE TITLE OF PHOENIX DANCE STUDIO WORLD OF DANCE CHAMPION COMES WITH $1000 CASH PRIZE AND ETERNAL GLORY FOR THE VICTOR!
This years World of Dance Championship is starting to heat up as the entrants sign up to compete for the Title, the Glory and the $1000 cash prize.
We also have the first of our sponsors on board so we’ll start introducing you next week.
Here’s the rundown on how it works.
This championship is not for the faint hearted as every dancer has their achilles heel and even with the best laid plans there is no knowing which dance you’ll draw. Contestants have their dance drawn at our social dance at Phoenix dance studio on the 3rd June. Then they have just 5 weeks to perfect a dance showcase in that style to be performed in full costume on 8th July.
The 3rd June will be a great afternoon for a dance and also a good chance to chat with some of our suppliers and sponsors about dance wear and shoes. Everyone is welcome. Towards the end of the afternoon, dances will be drawn from a hat by our brave contestants to discover which particular dance they will be working on for the next 5 weeks of blood, sweat and tears!
Anyone can enter from any level, and the music, choreography and costuming is decided by their instructor in consultation with them.
Feel free to speak to any of our instructors if you want more details or if you have any questions about the World of Dance Championship. Half the spots are gone already so if you’re ready to go, excited and feeling brave then get your name down quick!

Tango Dance Party 17th December 2016
Tango Dance Party 17th December 2016
Well it’s that time of year and everybody is having a party and we just couldn’t help joining in. This is going to be a big bish bash bosh mix up of all the things we like best.
We haven’t had the chance for a Milonga since we returned from Argentina so this is it. We’ll have a Tango lesson to get you warmed up and into it and then we’ll play all our favourite tunes we brought back with us. We heard some fantastic live music while we were over there and brought all their music to share with you. I think it is also a good reason to buy Malbec so we’ll have some hearty red wine at the bar along with all the usual goodies. Bring a plate to share with your friends, if anyone knows how to make empanadas like they do in Argentina let me know and I’ll sit at your table. Tom and I will also showcase a little of what we learnt while we were away, with an improvised Tango performance.
Tom won’t let christmas go by without a quiz so I’m going to inflict this on our dear patrons instead of having him ruin christmas day insisting we all do our homework and have our questions ready! Because he is also a really bad winner making him quiz master seems to work a treat. There’s prizes for the winning table of course.
From there we plan to party on with all the music that gets your feet tapping and your blood pumping from swing to salsa right down to the last waltz until we’re done.
Hope you can join us.
Musica Maestro!
