2024 Dance Programs at LLV

Dance at Lindfield Learning Village is an energetic, inclusive and creatively nurturing program offered across all age groups at LLV. 

Dance at LLV is delivered by REDed (Raw Energy Dance Education) educators who work with our villagers through two programs - our competitive Jewel Show Troupe program and/or our Dance Enhance Program. 

In 2024 we are excited to expand our program with a focus on growth, inclusiveness, creativity and performance outcomes. The Jewel Competitive Program will compete on the primary and secondary school circuit, and the Dance Enhance Program will work towards a mid year Winter Showcase, and an End of Year LLV Dance Concert.

Dance Enhance Program (Technique and Exploration)

The Dance Enhance program focuses on technique, creativity and exploration of dance.

Dancers will experience the core components of co-ordination, rhythm, musicality, flexibility, posture, spatial awareness, skill acquisition, performance qualities and creativity. Most important of all, villagers are given the opportunity to connect with their friends through dance. These classes are ideal for the dance lover looking to receive technical training whilst being encouraged to express themselves creatively.

All dancers in the Dance Enhance Program can expect in-school performance invitations throughout the year to inspire their focus and commitment to their inner performer and creative.
