school activities
school performance
A NAMARINA Ballet & Jazz Dance annual program which is aimed to give a rare experience for children to dance on stage, building self-confidence and to practice cooperation skills in a group. The school performance is designed for all levels and the theme of the performance is usually customized according to student’s levels, with costumes, props and decoration by NAMARINA teachers.
The children are also able to see the creative process in making a performance, including decoration/props, music and lighting.
This performance will give the audience a unique and engaging experience as they sense and see the enthusiasm of the dancers in each performance.
WORKSHOP & INTENSIVE CLASS
Apart from learning to dance in scheduled classes, NAMARINA also offers periodical workshops to enhance student’s skills and techniques, as well as broaden their knowledge in dance and its supporting elements. Students can also learn more about their friends and socialize in this event.
Students can learn various forms of dance styles and learn from NAMARINA’s own or experienced guest teachers.
Other than dance, students also learn other supporting elements such as music, drawing and other forms of art. With these holistic education we hope students can broaden and deepen their knowledge in the arts.
COMPETITION
The program is designed by Ballet and Jazz Dance Departments to create a healthy competition environment to motivate all students in dance and also can benefit both – NAMARINA students and teachers – in developing their creativity.
There are several categories in a competition; solo or group. The students are required to increase their quality of dance; both in technique and performance. They will also learn to create choreography with their friends and learn to cooperate.
Through this competition, parents can also see their children’s learning outcomes in NAMARINA.
VIDEO WATCHING
In this activity, our students will learn dance and its supporting elements and knowledge through various dance videos; from ballet, jazz dance and modern. From this activity we hope we can develop our student’s love, enthusiasm and knowledge of dance.
Appointed teachers will combine several videos such as classical ballet performances, class syllabus, NAMARINA performances, history of dance (jazz dance and ballet), various dance styles and other branches of studies, each customized depending on student’s levels & classes.
We also encourage students to speak publicly and discuss to better understand the videos presented.
THEORY CLASS
NAMARINA believes in holistic education, aside from practicing and exercising in regular classes, students have to know the background, history and context of different arts. With that in mind, NAMARINA has designed a Theory Class program in conjunction with “Video Watching”.
The main purpose of this activity is to give deeper knowledge about the dance world, both ballet and jazz dance, to inspire our students. We also expect this theory class can support our students’ learning process in class.
PARENTS MEETING & OPEN CLASS
This activity is being held periodically to encourage conversations among students, parents, teachers, the management and academics; to communicate various information regarding our curriculum, children’s development in class, and NAMARINA’s programs. This event also serves as a platform for parents to discuss their children’s progress with the teachers.
The program is conducted three times a year for ballet and jazz dance students.
presentation project
A presentation of choreographies from NAMARINA Advanced students. This activity is being held annually to urge our students to apply their knowledge in a choreography form. The choreography is made independently by the students under their teacher’s guidance. This program serves as another platform for advanced students to develop their knowledge in dance. Moreover, students can exercise their self-sufficiency so that they are able to develop their own learning process as a student and a dancer.
gathering
Other than academic activities and its supporting themes, NAMARINA also held regular gatherings. This event is open for active members and NAMARINA’s alumni, depending on the gathering participants. This activity is important to maintain friendship and camaraderie among members, alumni and NAMARINA.
Other than special gatherings such as; Fitness Member Gathering, Namarina Dance Academy Gathering, Alumni Gathering, Teachers Gathering, NAMARINA also organizes a Fitness Test to check our member’s fitness level, muscle endurance and flexibility.
