Any BODY can dance!

At Prism we believe that anybody and any BODY can dance. That means that regardless of age,
background, body type/size that you can dance should you choose to.

(We have special programmes for adults and seniors and we have special classes for boys who wish to dance in a boys only environment with a male instructor. Please contact us or visit our website for more information: www.prismdancecentre.com)

• we embrace all body types
  
• you do not need a "dancer" body to participate in dance, all you need is a will and desire to dance
  
• you do not need to wear body revealing dance clothing if you are not comfortable, instead wear what
  you can move in well, being aware that the more the teacher can see your body the more individual
  can help
  
• over-time you will become more comfortable in your body and likely shed any extra layers and go buy
  the pink tights!

The teachers of Prism believe that we are training people not just bodies. The spirit and individuality of
every person is acknowledged and valued. We train with an eye to the future possible dance career,
although the majority of dance students will dance purely for enjoyment and self development.

By giving students excellent foundational training that is progressive and age appropriate, with no short
cuts taken to be able to facilitate the "tricks" expected by some teachers/parents, we can assure the
student that their body will remain healthy and should they wish to pursue a professional career, no
material will need to be re-patterned into the body.
This philosophy applies equally to the young student and the young at heart.
My personal mentor, Bill Evans, is still dancing with a healthy body at 65 years old.

I believe that dance done properly can also heal the body of an adult who wishes to return to dance or try dance for the first time, but is not yet trusting of their bodies capabilities. The body is an amazing
instrument, able to achieve balance and harmony, provided that the mind and body are worked together.


Prism teachers embody our motto "Transforming the Mind, Body & Spirit" and work to reach the mind of the
student to facilitate understanding of the body and its ability to be an expressive instrument.
