Sarah’s Salsa

Miriam Combs on August 18, 2014

Salsa at Showcase Challenge 2014.

Each year, any student that’s feeling brave enough can put their name down for the Phoenix Dance Studio Showcase Challenge. Then just 5 weeks before they have to perform their uniquely choreographed routine in front of the studio and guests, we select the dance style at random!

It could be something that they feel pretty confident with or maybe a dance style that they have never even tried before, but either way Sarah and 8 other brave souls rose to the challenge and performed some fantastic routines.

This year the dances drawn were (in no particular order) English Tango, Salsa, Waltz, Swing, Rumba, Jive, Quickstep, Samba and Merengue.

This clip is of Sarah dancing Salsa with her instructor Adriano.

We’re proud of all the students and instructors who put in a ton of effort to present such entertaining routines in a very short space of time.

Check out our website for clips of the other dances.

 

Showcase Challenge!

Miriam Combs on July 16, 2014

Showcase Challenge is getting close!

The first week and a half of choreography and rehearsal has gone flying past already. It’s all very exciting putting it all together. We’ve got students working on routines for Cha Cha Cha, Waltz, Samba, Rumba, English Tango, Salsa, Quickstep, Jive, Merengue and Swing! Each of these dance styles have their own unique challenges and each of our dancers is having a unique showcase routine choreographed for them. Any time your in at Phoenix Dance Studio you’ll see people working hard on their dances for 9th August.

Remember, if you don’t have your tickets for the Showcase Challenge night yet or are likely to need more, get them sorted out quickly as this one is likely to be a sold out event. Just talk to your instructor or call the studio and we can help you arrange that.

It’s been great to see everybody pushing themselves, whether it’s with a favourite style or something a bit out of the comfort zone, all the entrants are really going for it.

See you on the dance floor.
