This great foundation phase program can be adjusted – be it musicality, dancing, development of confidence, creative use of language or general life skills, as the main aim. Cardiovascular training serves as a constructive method in energizing both boogie boys and girls.
Our annual boogie beatz demonstration Day provides our boogie dancers with the opportunity to show their skills. Boogies receive a certificate and medal. If interested in further dance training- they are enlisted in the syllabus of a registered council to further dance training.
Classes are headed by qualified teachers in collaboration with the boogie beatz team and the director, Elrine Kotze with interest in educational dance training and therapy -an issue that lies us close at heart. Special needs boogies are catered for.
