A great hobby or a burning ambition

At Lynden we recognise that most of our dancers are happy to come along to our weekly dance classes to have fun, make new friends, gain confidence, perform with us in our shows and medal tests, and steadily progress through our graded exams, whist keeping fit and pursuing a really great and fulfilling hobby, and we are more than happy to be able to offer this to them.

However, we also acknowledge that for some this is simply not enough. They are passionate and truly dedicated to dance, they rise to the challenges that they are set, they are self motivated and display tremendous determination, they recognise that 'wanting' isn't enough, and are prepared to work really hard, sweat, suffer aching muscles and do whatever it takes to pursue their ambitions and reach their personal goals. These dancers need far greater challenges to enable them to fully reach their potential and it is for this reason that we have decided to introduce Lynden Squads.

The Squads are offered the following extra opportunities:

• Perform as a team for medal tests
• Compete as a team at Dance Festivals across the country
• Perform in local charity shows and promotional displays
• Perform as a team in Danceforce
• Perform in Dynamix - Squad only show
• Train at a much more intense level

Squads are limited to 10 and are strictly by invitation only. (Dancers who are ready for the Squads will stand out and be obvious to their teachers).
