About Dance Train

Dance Train courses are taught by Emma Weir, a Fellow of the IDTA, who identified a need for affordable professional training courses. Originally offering private tuition (as she herself was trained) she realised that there was a demand for group courses as these were more suitable for dancers without a local trainer in their area or mentor at their own school. She has a 100% pass rate for professionals and all Dance Train candidates have scored 80% or more.

 

New for 2012 - a residential course in the South West in addition to London and Hampshire venues - see below.

Our courses

Our current Associate courses in Freestyle are taught intensively but still involve lots of work and should not be seen as an 'easy option'. As Freestyle is creative and flexible it means that there is less set work than in other styles so candidates have a personal input into their routines and can do much of the revision independently. The exam components are covered in the intensive course and candidates go away knowing what is required of them and they can then choose when to return for the exam. Included in the price are two private lessons with Emma, the first one being a tutorial to check progress and give guidance and the second one is in the format of a mock exam, so candidates know exactly what to expect.

 Freestyle courses now booking:

  • Sunday 8th and Monday 9th July, 2-day residential course at the TLH Leisure Resort, Torquay, with Student, Associate and Licentiate levels available.
