Gearing Up for SpringBlast 2010

February 9th, 2010 by admin
The DanceDigital team are currently preparing for SpringBlast 2010, which will be held at Chelmsford Civic Theatre on 16 March at 7.30pm. Each year DanceDigital puts out a call to Essex dance groups that it has worked with in the recent past or that we have some connection to. This includes local dance groups from Chelmsford as well as schools and colleges from elsewhere in the county.  This year we hope to have more groups than ever take part in the showcase, which also includes special performances from DanceDigital’s senior youth dance companies, Focus and InPulse, who have both recently been selected to perform their most current work as part of Youth Dance England’s regional dance platform, Radiate.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Welcome to Create Dance Studio

December 17th, 2009 by admin
Welcome to the Create Dance Studio sub-site! This area presents all the activity from local dance classes that run in the studio. Currently, these are Egyptian Belly Dance, Ballet, Street Dance and Pilates. Over time, we will be building up a guide to each style and their influences as well as hearing from the class teachers and participants as they learn their dances.

As we build the site there will be updates from the class teachers, participants and DanceDigital staff on upcoming classes, courses and performances in Chelmsford. We welcome your contributions, from comments and photos, to questions and suggestions for the studio.

You will find answers to some Frequently Asked Questions from the links on the right-hand side of each page, together with details about the Create Dance Studio and how it operates.  Each class that currently runs in the studio has it’s own information page and we have included the latest information from our youth dance company and master class programme to give you a flavour of some of the other activities that take place in the studio for young people and professional choreographers.

We hope you enjoy taking a look around the site and look forward to hearing from you!

The DanceDigital Team
