| 8 Week Program |
|
This is an introductory program for an eight week period. Dancesport is an ongoing commitment and if you are keen to progress your dancing this is a great way to dip your toe in the water and see if it really is the thing you want to do.
Due to the exclusive nature of this program and the limited numbers, your involvement means someone else may miss out, so we ask that you attend 100% of the sessions and give your absolute commitment for the duration of this course. |
| 8 Master classes |
| Robin Sewell will be running a series of 8 Master Classes for the entrants in this program. These classes are tailored completely towards competition style Latin dance and they are mainly focused on technique at a group level. Classes will be held at the Chelsea RSL on Thursday nights at 8pm. |
|
8 Private Lessons |
|
As part of your tuition in this program, you (and your partner) will receive 8 Private Lessons with Robin Sewell. These lessons are designed for you and your partner only and are a completely personalised experience.
You will receive specific and personal instruction on your dance, something you cannot get in group classes and from a viewpoint of one of the highest ranked dancers in the world. |
| Video footage before & after |
|
Besides winning your first competition, the only tangible way to see the impact of this course is on video and we will be videoing your moves at the start and the end of this course. You will see the difference this short course has over the 8 week period.
Just think, you can keep this video as evidence of how you once looked before you won all your medals, trophies and competitions. It will be there for everyone to see and for you to know where you came from and how hard you have worked. |

Costume preparation |
|
 So many competitors walk onto the floor looking very strange and its all down to the costume and how it works with your body and your movement. Robin Sewell is passionate about you getting the most out of your action and in this program he guides you on what works best for you.
You will receive personalised and specific feedback on your costume so that you look your absolute best in your first competition. We also guide you on the best places to purchase costumes either off the rack or second hand. And if you want to have something made just for you, we will guide you on who to speak to and how to manage the process.
*Note: Costumes are not included in the cost of this program, all expenses for costumes are the responsibility of the dancers |
| Registration guidance |
|
You will be guided through the registration procress for entering your first Dancesport competition. You will become a member of the Australian Dancing Society and a registered Dancesport competitor. This is an exciting and sometimes confusing experience so DANCE101 has taken the terror out of this process and we guide you through it step by step.
*Note : Entry and Registration fees are not included in the cost of this program, all fees are in addition to the program cost |

Coaching & Support |
|
 Robin Sewell is an incredible coach, he is Paul and Cheryl's coach (owners of DANCE101) and he has a wonderful way with people. So many dance teachers take the joy out of dance by yelling at their students or refusing to compliment them or acknowlege their achievements.
Robin Sewell is a gentle man with incredible talent. He is humble yet he knows his stuff. Robin tells it like it is, if you got it, he lets you know. If you did well, he smiles with you, if you didnt get it, he tries another way. In this program, you will recieve first rate quality coaching, with guidance, support and without the wooden stick held to your back! His methods are modern and very much of the new calibre of dancers that are taking Dancesport by storm.

| Commitment |
|

Most coaches dont give a stuff about videoing you to see your progression. And even if you knew where to go for great quality coaching, it doesnt mean the coach would be available or would take you on!
 The rare opportunity of being coached by Robin Sewell needs to understood and appreciated. He doesn't coach just anyone. He is working with DANCE101 and passionate about our goals to introduce people to this wonderful world of dance. Robin is passionate about delivering people into the world of Dancesport and he doesnt muck around.
So if you're up for this program and up for revolutionising your dance, then you will respect the incredible coach you have by demonstrating the following commitment
You will
- Turn up on time, every time to training
- Be warmed up, stretched and ready to dance prior to your lessons
