Combination Class
This class combines the techniques of both afro-jazz and modern, contemporary, and lyrical into one class. Afro-Jazz dance is a fusion of African, Afro-Brazilian, Caribbean and jazz dance styles. Classes are up-beat and begin with a warm-up, followed by movement across the floor and a choreographed combination. Modern/Contemporary is one of the most expressive forms of dance which incorporates various styles of movement and improvisation. This style is a mix of ballet and jazz but is much more grounded and earthy and involves floor work and release.

Daddy/Daughter Dance Class
The Daddy/Daughter dance is a wonderful opportunity for Dad to spend quality time with his daughter. Together they will learn a dance that they will perform during The Concrete Rose Dance Academy’s Spring recital June 7th at Halifax Community College: The Centre.
For the performance, dancers will wear a black leotard with black leggings and dance slippers and the dads will need a plain black button up shirt, black slacks and black dress shoes. Please read the following information very carefully before committing to the Daddy/Daughter Dance.
The non-refundable fee to participate is $50 (includes all rehearsals) This fee is non-refundable, so moms, make sure the dad actually knows about the dance, rehearsal dates and times and is fully committed before signing up.
Dancers must be three years of age by January 1, 2025 in order to participate in this year’s Daddy/Daughter dance.
The Daddy/Daughter dance is great fun but it also involves lifting your daughter over your head, challenging choreography and several hours of rehearsals. If you have back problems or other physical conditions that prohibit you from lifting your daughter , please let us know so that choreography may be modified.
Rehearsals are as follows. All participants must attend all rehearsals. One absence is acceptable.
Rehearsals for Daddy Daughter are:
Saturday March 8th from 10-11am
Saturday March 22nd from 10-11am
Saturday April 5th from 10-11am
Saturday April 12th from 10-11am
Saturday May 3rd from 10-11am
Saturday May 17th from 10-11am
Saturday May 31st from 10-11am
The rehearsal schedule is subject to change. We try our hardest not to change the rehearsal schedule, but this is “showbiz” and circumstances beyond our control frequently cause schedule changes.
Dance is difficult. It is a “team sport”. Everybody on stage depends on everyone else to put on a great show. Remember, the Daddy/Daughter dance is an experience that will last a lifetime. Spending time at rehearsal and working through difficult situations with your daughter is as significant as performing the actual dance.
All rehearsals are “Closed Rehearsals”, meaning friends and family may not watch the daddy daughter rehearsals.
All rehearsals are required to learn the dance. Unfortunately, we are unable to alter the rehearsal schedule to accommodate individual travel plans, illness, vacation etc.
How do I sign up for the Daddy/Daughter Dance?
Moms, Dads (stepfathers, grandfathers, and/or other significant men in the dancer’s lives) please enroll online through our online enrollment system under special events. We are currently taking Daddy/Daughter registrations. Space is limited to 15 couples The cost to participate is $50. Registration is through our online portal. There will be an additional $10 charge for per additional dancer participating.
