One50 Dance workshops are a creative arts program that teaches a blend of street funk and hip hop dance styles. It is an exciting and interactive Christian based dance program giving young people an opportunity to perform, choreograph, and participate in life skill activities, through the use of dance and other activity based learning. One50 Dance workshops build self-confidence, self-respect, teamwork, leadership, and encourage healthy minds and healthy bodies.

One50 Dance workshops can consist of 1 – 8 sessions or could be used as a once off event in the school calendar. A workshop may run anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. Each session looks at developing basic knowledge and understanding of the exciting and rapidly developing style known as street funk or hip hop. For bookings over several weeks, students will learn skills that will prepare them for a routine. After several weeks the routine is developed to a level that it can be performed to an audience. Choreography chosen will depend on the age and ability of the group and the timeframe of the program.

“Through the One50 Dance program we were able to achieve heightened self esteem amongst the girls, improved relationships / cohesion, and a sense of belonging to a team with common goals and feeling valued. (Great to see the smiles on the girls’ faces when watching the finished project. Very rewarding!)” (Assistant Principal)

“The team ran an intense and active group development/dance program in the most professional manner. Students benefited from the program through developing important whole group skills, for example co-operation, decision making and resolving conflict.” (Middle School Manager)

“The instructors were professional and enthusiastic in their approach to the students and the girls loved the style of dance. The final performance was a perfect chance for the dancers to demonstrate their new found skills and everybody had a great time.” (Student Counsellor)
