Description

Have you ever been in a class struggling to learn a move they are teaching while self consciously feeling embarrassed thinking that everyone is seeing you struggle. Maybe somehow you managed to copy a move but just can’t put your finger on why you don’t look the same as the instructor and when the music comes on you feel like everyone else knows some secret code to stay on beat and somehow you are left out. This is unfortunately an all to common reality for new dancers. The reason this happens is because most classes fail to break down basic movements to its simplest form in order for you to understand them. This could be because…

  • The skill level of dancers is different in most classes…
  • There are too many people in the class for the instructor to really focus on you…
  • Sadly some amazing dancers just don’t know how to teach which leaves you both lost and confused as to why you don’t look like them

Why Take An Online Course

Now, you might be thinking why would you take a course online to learn how to dance? Well I’m glad you asked. The reason why I created an online course is because quite frankly, you and I can agree that sometimes there just are not any dance studios, classes, or instructors near you who provide the type of dance training you need to get better. Sure, you can travel far and wide to find the classes and teachers you need. They are out there, but this becomes very expensive and time consuming. Sure…You could turn to other online tutorials that you can find on YouTube. However, everyone has seen those tutorials that:

  • Are likely in no logical order for you to progress from basic to more advance movements (Sorry, you can’t run before you know how to walk)
  • Don’t break the move down simply enough for you to understand it
  • Never show you how to execute the move to music
  • Teach the move incorrectly leading you to practice bad technique and risk getting injured and worse waste your time.

The Benefits Of An Online Course

So how will you learn and benefit from the course being online? I created a structured course curriculum that will guide you by the hand through basic fundamental movements in a progressive order (basic to advanced movements) just as if we were having a private, one on one lesson together. Everyone knows that it is difficult to learn anything when you are first introduced to it. The beauty of having this course is that:

  • You can can learn and master movements at your own pace by returning to any movement lesson as many times as you need
  • You can pick up on the small but important details you probably would have missed in a class by being able to skip around each lesson
  • You can truly dance like no one is watching you since you can access the course whenever and wherever you want

Every dancer knows that it is easier to dance when no one is there. You can feel stress free learning new moves and build up your confidence to show others whenever you are ready to from the comfort of your home.

Let Me Show You What You Are Getting

Over the past 13 years I have cultivated the knowledge and experience teaching dancers of all different kinds of backgrounds and skill levels how to dance. I’ve documented what teaching methods work and what methods are just flat out ineffective and created a simple, easy to follow course curriculum that you can easily learn from and apply immediately to your dancing. The first section of the course will take you through my personal head to toe warm up. Now… I know that doesn’t seem exciting but this is a very important thing that most dance classes, let alone dancers in general miss or rush through. Everyone knows that once you injure yourself, you will be unable to do anything until you recover, which means the longer it will take for you to get better. You and I both can agree that we want to make you better as fast as possible. By doing this warm up, you will ensure that your joints and muscles are ready and primed for your training, which means less chance of you getting injured and being able to continue your training without any delays and advance quicker.

The next section is the “Advanced Concepts and Strategies”. In this section you will learn concepts and strategies I wish someone told me when I got started dancing. This section alone will give you the upper hand on over 90% of new dancers. Concepts such as using levels and how to position your body will allow you to make one move look like multiple moves that are customized to your liking. The concepts and strategies shared in this section will double, even triple the amount of moves you will be able to execute in your dancing.

The next section is the “Toprock Fundamental Steps”. This is where you will learn and be guided through every detail on how to execute a move with perfect technique. On top of that, I will show you how the move is done with music at 3 different tempos which means you will be ready for all types of different music regardless of the speed. As an extra bonus, I have provided a number of Drills and Combos in between new movement lessons so you can feel completely confident utilizing each move before taking on the next, more advanced move. Finally, I give you a blueprint on how to combine all of your new moves that you have mastered into a plug and play template to get you started right away.

The final section is the "Entrance Toprocks". This is where you will learn steps you can use to enter the circle or dance floor to gain attention and create some space before you show off your new Toprock steps you learned from the previous section. Not only will you learn new steps to command attention, I also show you how to combine an entrance step with a Toprock step so you can easily transition and make your movements look smooth and cohesive.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
