This was held on 12 - 14 Nov 2021, thank you to all those who attended and made the weekend so enjoyable 🙂. For now there won't be a Refresh 2022.
A new take on workshops and competitions with a good dose of social dancing and activities. We are Refreshing our traditional event format and aiming to Refresh your love of dance 🙂
- 3 unique workshops that we've never presented before
- A first for NZ - exclusive judges' intensive
- Competition and party combo!
We're really excited about the way we're presenting various aspects of competing, we've thought this through extensively and we're sure you'll find the changes just as refreshing 😉
- 2 dance parties
- larger dance floor
- dance adjacent workshops to keep us in better shape, avoid and recover from injury
- dance workshops presented by a guest teacher focussing on cross-discipline dance skills and techniques
- free individual biomechanical screening from a top dance podiatrist
- private lesson opportunites throughout the weekend with a variety of teachers both local and visiting
- Judges' Intensive covering judging and notation systems, judging criteria, the scrutineering process and more - open to all dancers
- new competition categories: Prepared Freestyle and Battle of the Themes
- a new take on Lucky Dip: grouped Lucky Dip where you'll be matched with someone of a similar level
- competitors get 2 songs for Freestyle, DWAS and Lucky Dip right from the start instead of repechages giving just as much time on the dance floor whilst gaining more time for social dancing and workshops
