The Showfit difference

Showfit has been developed and is aimed at the performer who strives to be a true ‘Triple Threat’ performer. From our extensive industry knowledge and experience we know the majority of these performers have simply been exposed to a single discipline when entering a class room; either a dance class, a singing lesson or drama class and this ‘single discipline’ mentality is where we will differ from the rest.

Showfit has been developed and is aimed at the performer who strives to be a true ‘Triple Threat’ performer. From our extensive industry knowledge and experience we know the majority of these performers have simply been exposed to a single discipline when entering a class room; either a dance class, a singing lesson or drama class and this ‘single discipline’ mentality is where we will differ from the rest.

Showfit follows the Centrestage attitude of having the creative team (director, choreographer and music director) present in the classroom in order to create the true understanding of the working triple threat performer.

Showfit promises to provide a beneficial training ground for the ‘Triple Threat’ performer and because we value the mind-set of a dancer, singer and actor and understand that a curriculum needs to be created in order to blend the 3 principals correctly, we will change and recreate the definition of a Full Time Musical Theatre course.

In our opinion, there are hundreds of good dancers out there who may never work in this industry simply because they don’t have the confidence to be seen as anything other than ‘just a dancer’. Dancers have an amazing work ethic and self discipline but can be seen as the ever reliable work horses who provide great energy and excitement to a show, but who so often have hidden talent just bursting to get out and be seen…They need encouragement and open minded training. They need to be placed in a realistic situation as if they were in a show. Not just working with a choreographer, but with a musical director and director in the room at the same time and that’s what  can provide the dancer…an opportunity to explore singing and acting in a safe environment.

Singers and actors can often have a misguided belief that they can’t dance. They become ‘stiff and awkward’ when asked to do something simple. They ‘over analyse’ what they are supposed to do instead of just doing it. Eventually some even give up as they persistently sabotage themselves with negativity. We were all born to move not to be still. Just like breathing, dancing should look and feel natural. Be taught the basic principles of movement….gliding, turning, jumping, bending, stretching, rising, and lowering. All you need to do is learn to co-ordinate your movements and do them with confidence and style! When encouraged in a safe environment you can master new movements very quickly –  Showfit will be perfect for you.

Along with great teachers and staff  will also provide you with an extraordinary opportunity to be mentored by an industry professional. Extraordinary performers such as Marina Prior, Sally Anne Upton, Sylvie Paladino, Noni Hazlehurst and more have offered their time to help guide you along your journey with us.  You will learn a lot about who you are and what you have to offer. That’s the wonderful thing about the theatre. There is no right or wrong. There is room for anyone willing to put themselves out there. Give yourself the best chance. A well rounded personal development experience of a different nature, not just another dance course!
