Joy of Dance: A World of Styles

$279.00

Step away from the daily grind and into the studio to rediscover the rhythm of your body!

Join this inclusive, high-energy workshop designed for everyone—from those who have never danced a day in their lives to those looking to refine their movement vocabulary.

Over five inspiring mornings, we will dive deep into three distinct styles: the sharp, expressive energy of Jazz, the fluid, emotive storytelling of Lyrical, and the grounded, rhythmic power of Hip Hop. We won’t just learn the moves; we’ll combine them, using our final days to choreograph a dynamic routine that brings these worlds together.

This course is about more than just technique—it’s about discovery, building physical confidence, and the undeniable magic that happens when a group comes together to perform as one. The week culminates in a celebratory, low-pressure showcase of our work. Come share the space, find your groove, and experience the infectious joy of dance!

COURSE PLAN

DAY ONE - Jazz Fundamentals & Style

  • Focus on alignment, isolations, and sharp, classic jazz technique. Learn the "big" movements and how to bring personality to every step.

DAY TWO - The Flow of Lyrical

  • Shift into fluid motion. Focus on breath, extension, and how to use movement to tell an emotional story through lyrical dance.

DAY THREE - The Power of Hip Hop

  • Ground the body and find the rhythm. Focus on weight, texture, and the sharp, percussive timing that defines hip hop.

DAY FOUR - The Fusion Challenge

  • Begin weaving these three styles together. We will map out our final performance piece, blending jazz dynamics, lyrical grace, and hip hop attitude into one routine.

DAY FIVE - Rehearsal & Showcase

  • Polish our routine, refine transitions, and add performance flair. We conclude the week with an informal, celebratory performance to share our journey!

COURSE TUTOR

Amy Murdock

Hi, I’m Amy, and I’m so excited to be sharing my passion for dance with you!

With over 20 years of experience in both the dance and teaching industries, I’ve been fortunate to enjoy a diverse performance career across Australia and overseas. My experience includes performing at club gigs, as an NRL cheerleader, in stage productions, cabarets, and musicals, giving me a broad understanding of many different performance styles and techniques.

I love teaching dancers of all ages and abilities, and I’m passionate about creating a positive, encouraging environment where everyone feels supported to learn, grow, and express themselves. While I teach a wide variety of styles—including tap, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, ballet, and more—my greatest joy comes from helping students build confidence, develop their skills, and discover a genuine love for dance.

For me, dance is about so much more than steps and technique. It’s about connection, creativity, and the joy that comes from moving together. I love meeting new people through dance and feel incredibly grateful to do what I love every day. I can’t wait to dance with you!
