Overview
While it's hard to stay motivated in lockdown, now is a great time to learn something new. If you've baked your sourdough, worked your way through that puzzle and used up the home ceramics kit you bought in July — maybe its time to relive your best memories in the club and get your dancing shoes on.
The Sydney Dance Company is here to help with a series of on-demand and live online dance classes to get you moving at home. Sign up to the dance company's On Demand membership program and you'll receive access to a host of classes covering contemporary, ballet, lyrical, tap and jazz. There are classes available for a range of skill levels from beginner to more experienced dancers, and new classes are available each week.
If you're looking for more at-home workouts to mix things up during lockdown, dancing is a great way to stay fit and the library of classes includes videos focusing on pilates, yoga and body conditioning.
During lockdown, On Demand members will also have access to live-streamed classes from the Sydney Dance Company. Each day of the week, seven days a week, a different genre of dance class is live-streamed. Monday–Friday the live-streamed classes start at 6pm, allowing you to join after a day at work, while the Saturday's jazz live stream and Sunday's beginner's contemporary live stream begin earlier in the morning so you can start your day right.
Membership starts at $29.95 a month, or if you're looking to commit you can sign up for three months for $79.95 or a year for $199. Find out more details and view the full live stream schedule at the Sydney Dance Company website.
