BODY ELECTRIC DANCE
Operating in the spirit that ‘anyone can dance’, each semester sees 10 troupes of dancers train hard and rehearse a choreographed routine that will be showcased at a public performance in front of an enthusiastic and demonstrative audience of family and friends.
Body Electric Dance is structured into two semesters, with each resulting in a spectacular performance. The classes are jazz based at a beginner/intermediate level. The performances are a frenzy of pulse, rhythm and flair in which the dancers proudly present their show-stopping routines of finely tuned moves in extravagantly designed costumes.
Choreographer and principal teacher Jade Duffy transforms the students into pirouetting, body rolling, jazz dancing extraordinaires. “We’re mainly a bunch of show- offs”, says one dancer in good–humour. What makes Body Electric so special is that you don’t have to be a professional dancer – anyone can participate.”
With an all-encompassing philosophy of dance fun, the popularity of the Body Electric stems from its ability to captivate and embrace people’s desire and passion to move and express themselves like never before.
Jade began dancing at the age of 3 and has not stopped since. After graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts secondary and tertiary courses with a Bachelor of Dance, Jade went on to perform professionally in the contemporary dance field.
Along with being the principal teacher and choreographer for Body Electric, Jade and her company have been part of many arts festivals in Melbourne. Other projects include choreography for television series Offspring and Magazine Wars.
Having trained extensively in ballet, contemporary and jazz, she now enjoys sharing her passion and knowledge by facilitating opportunities for the enjoyment of dance and the thrill of performing.
