Meet Spinacus - our new spine and pelvis model. Last week the senior ballet girls met Spinacus in class for a practical demo of how the femur moves as we rotate outwards to a turned out position. Learning about #dancescience is just how we do things at TDWC! #danceanatomy #scienceofdance #balletclass #ballet #dancewellington

We are super excited to announce our 2019 Showcase: The Enchantment of Briar Rose - a retelling of Sleeping Beauty with a little Midsummer Night's Dream magic and mayhem thrown in for good measure. Tickets are on sale now. #tdwcpresents #danceshowcase #newlandswellington #dancewellington #danceshow #danceshowterm

A busy day yesterday with our junior classes in the morning, lead deut rehearsals for @_brooke.newman and @chelseaalaing, Senior Ballet technique class and lead cast and company rehearsals. We're super excited about our upcoming Showcase this term! #tdwcpresents #ballet #teenballet #newlandswellington #dancewellington #danceshowcase #showterm #danceshow #danceclasses #dancerehearsals #dancersofinstagram

Teacher: come up with an end pose for your ballet dance. Pic 1: teacher expectations Pic 2: reality 😂Just kidding, I'm actually super proud of these girls. They are working so hard to master a challenging piece of choreography for our showcase. #ballet #bbodance #teenballet #grade5ballet #showterm #tdwcpresents #dancewellington #wellingtonnz #newlandswellington #dance #dancers

TBT term 1: Just casually nailing 32 echappes in the centre the first time you try the exercise in pre-pointe class. 👌#teenballet #prepointe #dancewellington #ballet #balletconditioning

Working on contemporary spine curls and roll downs yesterday with our Creative Dance 1s and talking about anatomy. So impressed that they could tell me that the exercise was making their spine work, that their spine was made up of lots of bones not one big bone and that if they didn't have a spine they'd be an invertebrate! Clever cookies! It's never to early to start learning about the anatomy of dance - especially when it's child led and our 5 - 7 year olds already have such superb knowledge! #danceanatomy #contemporarydance #juniordance #creativedance #dancescience

First dance finished for our show and it's only week one. Love this tangled end pose Senior Contemporary created for Unsteady!

Whaea Brie had a great time down at BBO Dance Days in Christchurch. So much ballet goodness to bring to class this week! #ballet #dancewellington #balletclass

We've had a wonderful and restful holiday break at The Dance Well Centre and are ready to slide on in to a new term. Show term - who's excited?! #danceclasses #dancewellington #showterm
