L.Mays Dance Company is run by sisters Linda May and Laura May Hadden. The company was launched in 2009. In the 6 years previous to this Linda ran a small dance company Linda May Martin Dancers which proved to be extremely successful and popular, hence the need for their expansion.
Linda has a wide and varied career in teaching dance, choreography and theatrical stage choreography with Mayraverty Arts & Drama Society MADS. She has choreographed numerous, spectacular Stage Productions for MADS, notably, Grease, Dirty Dancing, Joseph etc..
As Linda-Mays Dance Company teaches to 500 plus children at present throughout many venues they can now hold large dance competitions. They hold the competitions locally and regionally. This gives the children an opportunity to show off their skills to their family and friends whilst enjoying the buzz from a bit of healthy competition.
All children who attend the dance class regardless of which venue/teacher it may be, will learn the same dance routines to the same songs. Therefore for example, a child in their Armagh class will know the same routines as a child in their Lurgan class. This is how the children can fairly compete against one another. Like wise if a child does not wish to take part in any competitions that would be perfectly acceptable.
The competition categories are broken down by Age, Skill Level & Style.
Disco / Freestyle.
- Disco & Freestyle are the trendiest as well as an extremely popular form of dance in the UK today.
Disco involves jumps, spins, kicks and leaps as well as many other diverse steps and movements with lots of different arm and hand actions. The music is mostly fast and 'beaty' and routines for individual songs are learnt, focusing on skill and timing.
''Freestyle is a form of dance which allows children to use the freedom of expression to enhance their style.''
