ONLINE CLASSES!

Due to the current pandemic we are all currently facing, T.L.T Dance Academy is bringing its classes online - TO YOU AT HOME!!

Same classes, same timetable, but in the comfort and convenience of your lounge, dining, bedroom, garage or backyard!

It is essential that we as a community work together in this time of need for so many, and make sure to connect and stay active for our own health, wellbeing and sanity! This is especially important for our children…we need to ensure to keep their life as normal, fun, exciting and positive and our classes will do just that, as well as helping us parents at home through this time also. Being a mum of two myself, I understand the importance and significance this is for all of us now at home, and the challenges we are to face. Let’s make Covid-19 an opportunity for us to come together, be better, and work together and I am here for you and your children through this time!

So what are these online classes all about and how can you and your children get started…

What Extras Do I Need To Participate In My Class?

We recommend the following props / items / surfaces to have on hand for your class. If you don't have these at home, just do your best to find/organise them, or ask and I can lend whatever I have to you.

Acrobatics:

• (If you have one) A fold out exercise or yoga mat. If you don't have this, a carpeted area will be fine!

• A pillow

Tap:

• 1 x Hard surface to tap on if one is available. Outside surfaces are ok too!

Jazz, Contemporary, Hip Hop:

• Just your beautiful selves as you are! 😊

Glee:

• Your song lyrics printed out – we will inform you of these before class (usually same song is rehearsed for 4 weeks).

Ballet:

• A chair to be used as your ballet barre.

Tiny Tots Ballet:

• A fairy wand

• A handful of feathers

• 2x ribbons or scarves

  (If you do not have these at home, I can arrange them for you to be picked up!)

Adult Fitness:

• A fold out exercise or yoga mat

• 2x hand weights between 1-3kg each

What If I Can’t Make My Normal Class Time?

If you are unable to make your regular class session, don’t worry - classes will be recorded and you can stream them from the comfort of your home at a time that is convenient to you. Let us know and we can email it to you, or alternatively I am currently working on attaining a program where you can stream it yourself…a ‘dance hub’ if you will, where all parents and students can stay connected, watch class work and receive so much extra bonus content for you to do during this time of isolation – STAY TUNED!

Will My Child Still Get The Benefits Of Class Through Zoom?

Yes! Same great classes, same amazing teachers but in the comfort and convenience of your own home. Although our classes will be condensed and adapted slightly to suit the smaller home surrounding, our classes will be much the same. Encompassing technique focus in a fun approach, appropriate content & music, suitable stretch & strength for each age group, exercise & style work for each lesson, and excitement and motivation to get active and moving, our classes will give your child the same, if not more benefits as our face to face classes provide!

What If I Want To Watch & Do The Class Through My TV?

If you would like to participate in the class using your tv, no problem! If you have a smart tv, you can just use your online browser to connect, or alternatively plug your laptop into the tv using a HDMI cord.

What Can I Expect My Online Class To Look Like?

Please look at the following photos to get an idea of what you can expect from your class and how it will be adapted to suit your various home environments.
