What we do in this class:
Street dance has a wide appeal at Dexterity and is taught by Elise Clinton, Josh Rose, Joy Edwards & Katy Fox. Ryan Hayes heads the competition squads. Many children participate just in this lesson for fun and fitness but some also go on to join our competitive teams. All Street dancers perform in at least two large showcases each year.
Street dance in recent years has become an influence in both the Contemporary and Commercial Jazz world. The discipline is now heavily employed in many major events within the commercial world, for example, television advertising. This has helped to make Street dance another career route for those wishing to dance professionally.
The street team first competed June 2018 in Coventry, placing second in their first ever competition in under 18 novice. They qualified for the World Championships, Six Nations and the European Championships. In The World Championships, they finished 19th out of over 30 groups, amazing results. Two teams competed in June and July 2019 and qualified for the World Championships. Senior Crew won 1st place and Junior Crew won 4th place.
