Looking for fun and engaging dance lessons in London?
Dancing with your feet is one thing, dancing with your heart is another. When you think of Diva you think of heels, personality, strutting and a total diva attitude. This class is for people that want to try Commercial Dance as well as Diva Dance, so we have fused the two styles together creating Commercial Diva.
Let us help you be the envy of your friends, pump up your heartrate, meet new people and rediscover your rhythm in this unique Commercial Diva dance class. Led by the highly talented Aaron Wingrove-Littman, who is a professional dancer and choreographer, these dance lessons are for anyone and everyone over the age of 18. You’re never too old to try something new!
Aaron will be leading you with his unique, eclectic style. His mission is to share the joy of dancing and make the art form feel inclusive and accessible. On top of this, he’ll add the strutting, sensual but power enhancing moves that make Diva Dance what it is!
What is Commercial Diva Dance?
Think Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson and you’re almost there. In fact, most music videos today are diva based styles but all have the additional commercial feel. Funky but slick, sexy but cool, and of course helping to get rid of those inhibitions on the dance floor whilst learning the basics and essentials.
No previous experience is required, just your energy and enthusiasm for learning something new. You will develop confidence in your own movement and work on improving your ability and fitness for both fun and pleasure.
