Reviews
I had the privilege of taking part in a 4 week “Intensive Mentored Dance Program” at Danceworks. It was truly one of the best experiences and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested. I was returning to dance after an injury that prohibited me from training for almost 2 years. I was apprehensive about returning to a studio or class as I had lost all confidence in myself as a performer. The Danceworks team listened to all of my concerns as well as my goals and tailored a perfect class schedule for me. As well as pairing me we a phenomenal mentor. I loved every class and every teacher inspired me in a different way.
The Danceworks team welcomed me with open arms and put a smile on my face every time I entered the studios. As a team the were also incredibly understanding when schedule conflicts arose and did everything they could to make sure that I was still able to achieve everything I had set out to accomplish by the end of the program.
I can honestly say this program helped me in so many ways, as it helped me to take the steps towards my end goal. The biggest thing this program did for me was, it helped me rediscovered my love for dance and I will never forget that.
I can’t wait to do another IMDP with Danceworks in the future.
“I took part in the Intensive Mentored Dance Programme for 4 weeks and it was fantastic! I learnt so much from my mentor and the other teachers, and improved a lot in such a short space of time. I would really recommend if you are looking to improve quickly or challenge yourself! Had lots of fun as well!”
