As part of GSA's Dance Exploration series, we'll bring different styles of dance for our students to learn, every fortnight. Time to dance!
Shake and shimmy your way to the end of the week with an energetic Dancehall dance class!
Dancehall is a style of dance and music that originated in Jamaica in the 1970s. It is energetic and upbeat and known for its exaggerated movements. Dancehall is a combination of traditional Jamaican dance styles, combined with a modern and youthful touch.
The Dance Exploration series is all about celebrating different dance styles from around the world and helping you loosen up and release some stress. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced dancer, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Get ready to move and groove to the beat with our talented instructors.
