Adventures In Dance
Term Begins!

Classes start for Adventures in Dance: Term 3 - Full details and enrollment (here)



What the first Adventure will be:

Week 1: Base Camp Prep

In week one our worthy adventurers must make themselves ready for what lies ahead preparing to move out from base camp and into the strange and distant lands that lie through the mysterious portal.

Weeks 2-4: Sandy Polka

Our green adventurers, fresh from base camp find themselves on a hot sandy beach with strange crab-like creatures dancing to and fro. They must learn to Polka their way across the sand safely and out of the sun into the shade of the nearby trees.

Weeks 5-7: Jungle Creeping

Out of the sand and into the Jungle! Here they find panthers the size of elephants hunting in the vines. Our semi-seasoned adventurers must learn the ways of the cat to creep past them and out of harms way.

Weeks 8-10: A Salty Samba

A-hoy, argh, swab the deck ya land lover… Free of the giant jungle cats out adventurers samba their way onto a pirate ship and set sail down river and across the ocean under the cruel but fun captainage of Sir Sambalot.

Will they become lost at sea, or will they return safely to base camp for their next adventure?
