MOVE IT 2011 – the biggest dance show in the UK

 

MOVE IT, the biggest dance event in the UK, REVEAL the dance trends that will be shaking up the nation in 2011!

 

What’s more, anyone can learn the latest dance craze through a step by step guide on the MOVE IT website by visiting www.moveitdance.co.uk/trends

 

1. Indie Ballet

This shock new ballet style is all about the music - classic ballet pirouettes, pique and twirls blended with rocky indie tunes to make a totally unique style of dance, movement and entertainment. Professional dancers and public alike will be merging jaw-dropping splits to music from the likes of Razorlight, The Futureheads, Franz Ferdinand, and Gomez.

 

2. Waaking

Originating from the US, the Waaking phenomenon will be sweeping our nation due to its cool new funk style. Inspired by Madonna’s ‘Vogueing’, this underground street dance movement is much faster and packs even more attitude, style and passion.

 

3. Heyday Dance

Rewind the clock - 1920’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s – the choice is yours. End of war celebrations were the hey days, now this retro dance style is destined to be the top trend for next year. Heavily Influenced by vintage fashion, think old skool dance halls, flappers, tea dances and Fred Astaire, it’s a classic with a twist for 2011!

 

4. Iconic 1980s

The Flashdance era is back! Big hair, loud clothes, leg warmers and dramatic movements form the basis of this iconic 80’s dance movement.

 

5. Cheerleading

Give me a M, O, V, E I, T !! Cheerleading? We say, Bring It On! With Glee hitting our screens to mass popularity and recent visits from the amazing NFL and NBA dance troupes, American cheering will be infiltrating dance studios across the country.

 

Creative Director, George Harper comments "The top trends this year really reflect the fact that people want to have fun and inject their workout with a new twist. If it is ballet, add a new soundtrack. Aerobics? Add an 80’s dance twist. Also people love dressing up so the vintage styles like Charleston and Lindy Hop really allow you to work a look while you workout. Cheerleading is my biggest tip – this is already a massive scene in the UK that few people know about. It will be THE craze in 2011 and it’s not just for girls – boys are getting in on the action too!"
