Learning to dance like anything has a learning curve and it is important to be taught by someone that is good and teaching and not necessarily someone that is good at dancing.

The saying those than can do and those that can’t teach is absolutely not true. I know a lot of great dancers that cannot teach and a lot of great teachers that are not such good dancers.

At Elise Krog School of dance we focus on good teachers that make you feel relaxed and comfortable. They do not show off in class and their focus is on the pupils and not themselves. If you can’t get it right the first time then we try again. We keep trying until we explain it in a way that you understand. Everyone has a different way of learning and our teachers are trained to pick up on that.

Our focus is people that cannot dance. We teach moves simply and very very slowly with a lot of time to practise. For more information go to http://www.dancing.co.za.

Hi Everyone. We started some new classes in Midrand last night and everyone had a great time. Thank for all of those that participated and we look forward to seeing you during the course of the month. For those that are interested in starting in October you can CLICK HERE.

The classes in September are going great guns. They are looking fantastic and learning really quickly.

Teambuilding dance is a teambuilding activity using dance to get people to bond. Teambuilding can be a 1 hour activity during an evening function or an all day activity. For more information click here.

1 day Team-Enhancing Dance Course
This is a full day exercise that is divided into small pieces that progress into one another. In order for the project to be successful the teams must work within a budget of time. A different team leader will be chosen for each module thus affording everyone an opportunity to communicate with, negotiate with and mentor the others in the group.

Module 01a – Poetry
Module 01b – Music
Module 02a – Creative Dance
Module 02b – Ballroom Dance
Module 02c – Line Dance
Module 02d – Hip-Hop
Module 03 – Marketing and promotion
Module 04 – Performance
Module 05 – Evaluation and feedback

5 Modules are completed in a days course. Only one section on each module is excecuted and the delegates can decide on which section to complete.

1 Hour Teambuilding ice-breaker
Delegates are taught different dance moves. Some are done alone, some in pairs, some in small groups and some with the whole group moving together to make patterns. Simply by participating many skills are gained from working alone to practise the new moves to one on one communication and co-operation to the challenges of working in a large group where everyone in the group plays an equally important role. This creative environment allows most people to escape their comfort zones and let their hair down while encouraging them to be tolerant and patient of the rest of the group.

Evening Corporate Function
For Company Christmas Party’s, Awards Evenings, Celebrations etc. For these evening functions we bring some of Elise’s Ballroom Dancing students to demonstrate a dance and then she teaches the guests some moves in the dance that they have just seen. This can be done for Waltz, Hussle or the ever popular Line Dance Tango or all three dances. We can demonstrate and teach some American Line Dancing. The choice is yours and each function is different.

Strictly Come Dancing Evening
Keeping in line with the TV show we have a few rounds of dancing, eliminating couples as we go. One of the reasons everyone loves the show so much is because they get to know the contestants … well in this version of the show you will know all the contestants as they will be your collegues.

The way this works is the company sends us volanteers that come for dance lessons before the function. Those couples then compete at the function. This is lots of fun as guests like to see their work-mates doing something they have never seen them do before. They then help to teach the other guests some of the moves that they learnt. It is a great ice-breaker and makes for a great party.
