(8)

EVENING CLASSES:
Evening classes aim to keep children active and improve their flexibility. Coming to evening classes allows children to meet children from other schools with similar interests to them. AVAILABILITY:
Thursday evenings at Clacton Studio Gym

BREAKFAST CLUBS:
What better way to start the day than to dance the early morning away getting our bodies and brains ready for fun packed less

ons. Breakfast clubs consist of brain games followed by a gentle warm up and light dance routines all of which will allow the pupils to prepare their bodies and minds for the school day ahead. LUNCH TIME CLUBS:
From playing music in the school playground and getting the children dancing through their lunch times to having a pre-planned dance class, it’s your choice. Our main aim is to keep children active and give them the opportunity to participate in organised activities whilst having fun with their friends and improving their fitness levels. AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS:
Try extending the school day by adding a fun and energetic after school club. We will take a register when the children arrive and will stay until the last child is picked up and signed out by their parent/guardian. After school clubs aim to engage children in a specific dance genre and will help them to learn and practise choreographing their own dances, learn new skills and perform as a group. Genres available: Street Dance, Contemporary, Ballet, Drama, Musical Theatre, Cheerleading. CURRICULUM LESSONS:
We provide structured lesson plans with specific learning objectives linked with the core curriculum of Maths, English and Science. Whether your pupils are studying numbers, colours, countries or more we are able to incorporate this to create fun yet educational sessions during school hours. ONE DAY WORKSHOPS:
Want your pupils to learn something new? Why not try a whole day of dance? From the Haka to Rock and Roll, we can offer a one off full day of educational dance. The children will learn, create and perform in all our enrichment days. Topics available: Haka, African Gumboot, Street Dance, Cheerleading, Rock and Roll, Salsa, Kathak, Bollywood. HOLIDAY CAMPS:
Holiday camps aim to inspire children to spend their holidays being active and making memories. We offer fun filled days packed with dance, games, supervised free time and arts and crafts. The children arrive in the morning with their lunch boxes and spend an hour playing games and getting to know each other. The remainder of the morning is spent learning a routine before enjoying some free time with their new friends to relax and have lunch. The afternoon consists of arts and crafts (allowing time for lunches to settle) before finishing and rehearsing the routine ready to perform to family and friends at the end of the day. AVAILABILITY: October half term, February half term, Easter Holidays, May half term and summer half term.

🪴 GARDENING 🪴

At our summer camps we love to teach the children new skills and run lots of different activities every day. During our ‘country’ themed camp we had an afternoon of watering and de-weeding the community gardens before picking the ripe vegetables to take home with us! The children absolutely loved being a part of this and being able to pick their own vegetables was the perfect end to their hard work.

Our cheerleading camps are coming up next week, these will be filled with lots of exciting activities such as: stunts, tumbling, pom Poms, hula hoops, games, glitter tattoos and much more!

🥇 RICHARD DE CLARE GOES FOR GOLD 🥇

AMA Dance Academy choreographed and taught a routine to 6 RDC students ahead of their Bridge academy sports day. Over the course of 6 weeks Amy worked with the cheer group to help them perfect their routine and work together as a squad. Their fantastic teamwork and incredible skill set paid off yesterday when they came first in their competition and walked away with gold medals! All teachers, families and coaches are so super proud of these talented students and would like to give them a huge shoutout.

🎡 GOSFIELD FETE 🎡

HUGE round of applause to our incredible students who showed up on Saturday despite the morning of absolute downpour! The floor was wet and the skies were grey but the smiles shined and our dancers certainly brightened the day once they took to the floor. We hope you all enjoyed their performance! Incredible team work from all our dancers.

☔️ RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY ☔️

I’m sure you’re all wondering whether or not the fete is going ahead today. The organisers have confirmed that it will still be running as planned and it’s our decision as to whether we want to attend or not. Despite the rather wet weather, we have decided to proceed with the performance as planned. We believe that our students’ hard work and dedication deserve to be showcased, and we are excited for them to have this opportunity.
However, we must stress the importance of safety. Given the wet conditions, we urge everyone to exercise caution. We recommend that dancers wear appropriate footwear and take extra care whilst performing. We will be removing any of our acro/cheer stunts to ensure we are being as precautious as possible. Please ensure your child has a change of clothes and any necessary rain gear to stay comfortable throughout the event.

While we will take all possible measures to ensure the safety of our dancers, we must emphasize that AMA Dance Academy cannot be held responsible for any injuries that may occur as a result of performing in the wet weather.

I have spoken with The Elizabeth School of Dance and we have agreed that we will all still attend and aim to perform as planned but if the weather becomes dangerous in any way then we may have to stop. If you feel that it’s unsafe/uncomfortable for your children and you would rather them not attend then we completely understand your decision, please let us know if this is the case.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to seeing you and supporting our talented dancers today.

Bring your rainmacs, wellies, brollies and loud cheers!

Best regards,

Amy - AMA Dance Academy

✨ MEET MADDIE ✨

Maddie is our newest coach at AMA Dance Academy and we love having her as part of our team. You may have met her in your after school clubs or during our Halloween holiday camps. Make sure you give her a big warm welcome!

Learn a little more about Maddie:
‘I started dancing at the age of four and have never stopped since, recently gaining a first-class degree in dance, specialising in choreography and performance at de
Montfort University. I have trained in a number of styles including ballet, tap, modern theatre, contemporary, commercial and jazz. I also travelled across the country at university, competing in dance competitions with my society. I love sharing my passion for dance with students and watching as they find the love for it that I did at a young age. Other than dancing and teaching I love spending time with family, practising makeup skills and hanging out with my four cats!’

Maddie will be teaching in Wells Hall, Ongar, Richard De Clare, Cann Hall and St Andrews this half term.
