This 4-week Performance Intensive Program is for those dancers who want to elevate their performance skills.
The moment a dancer adds performance to their dance skills and technique, they have the power to inspire others.
Performance is the Centerpiece of Dance. It's a full package!
Arben will start every class with Warm Up and Performance Techniques. As the class proceeds, Arben will introduce the students to choreography and keep building on it every class.
P.S. Don't worry, we'll have breaks in between ;)
Learn Performance Technique Only. Technique includes traveling through the dance floor, exercises with the mirror and floor work

"I enjoyed doing the exercises that the training involved. The one that I enjoyed the most was when we had to go into 2 groups and within our group, we had to follow the movement of the person at the front. Every time the person at front changes, we then had a new leader and meant we had to communicate through our movements and we also had to be aware of our surroundings. This was a good exercise that built a good foundation on teamwork and our awareness of our surroundings. I also enjoyed the exercise where we were given a scenario in private and we had to use only facial expressions to express this scenario to our partners and they had to guess what it was. I also particular enjoyed when we were challenged to learn the choreography in a short space of time. Initially I felt that it was very overwhelming. However, I noticed that my pick up and memory with choreography improved."

"My mindset is more like a dancer than just someone who is doing it as a hobby. I achieved the goal of really thinking about the "im here to PERFORM" instead of just doing choreo. Making every movement count, with intention. I'm not perfect and not 100% there but it's is a seed now planted in my head which I will be thinking of. "

"To be comfortable with my body. Don’t focus on what I can’t do but to elevate what I can do."

"I feel like I’ve learned that I am much more capable when it comes to picking up choreography, as this was the first time that I’ve danced a whole track within choreography. I received a very special feeling last Sunday during my solo performance with all the amazing energies around to support . It was a blessing from you to have been given this opportunity to grow as a dancer, a human, achieving so much more of my potential & pushing way past my limits because of you. I'm very grateful Arben Thank You!"

"I’ve learned how to pick up choreo quicker and to a better standard. Focusing on the music, feeling and seeing the choreo as an opportunity to tap in to a different part/version of myself to help me relax and focus on the energy/feeling/performance.
"I Like the feeling of dancing as a group and sharing leadership roles, it made me feel like I broke a barrier in which I feel like I can take the big step & teach Hip Hop to rooms of people one day."

"Loved how you opened my eyes to see, feel and be mindful that dancing is more than learning and remembering steps. It’s knowing and feeling yourself. It’s letting go of fear hearing and seeing musicality and opening myself to emotion and telling a story from the beginning not after I learn steps."
-Online Student
"The structure and foundations to really remember when performing. Everytime I would struggle with for example the spacing or "hoping" people behind me were doing the same as me, I would remember the activity of letting the person at the front lead and trusting the group. In the moment you don't see the us of these activities but I really saw the deep value over the weeks. You can tell this programme was built from a professional eye."

"I LOVED learning about all the different aspects that come together to create the best performance. Learning about breathing, character/story telling, energy, performing solo vs with a group, giving the camera 500% etc
