About Technical Thursdays: A Look at Technique
The images you see here are just a snapshot of our process. We don't just teach you to copy choreography, we break down every jump, turn, and kick into its mechanical parts—focusing on alignment, core engagement, and breath. This approach ensures that you aren't just memorizing steps, but actually building the strength and control needed to execute them safely and powerfully.
Building Artistry Through Discipline
At The Danceworx, our 'Technical Thursdays' series gives you an inside look at the Ashley Lobo Syllabus. We firmly believe that fancy moves only look good when they are built on a solid foundation. Whether you are learning a Jete in a ballet class or a sharp kick in jazz, the mechanics remain the same: precision, repetition, and a deep understanding of body control.
The Training Environment
Our training studios are designed for this specific purpose. We utilize professional sprung wood floors to protect your joints during high-impact training and use full-length mirrors for immediate, honest feedback on your lines. This is the same rigour we apply to our Professional Dance Certificate program, which has helped our students secure spots in film, theatre, and international performances.
Your Path to Progression
Whether you are looking to master the elegance of classical ballet or the energy of contemporary dance, our structured approach ensures you progress steadily. We keep our batches small, typically capped at 15 to 20 students, to ensure every learner gets individual correction on posture and alignment. This turns potential into professional-grade skill, whether you are training for a career or dancing for the love of it.
The Danceworx
At The Danceworx, we live by one simple rule: 'Foundation builds fancy'. We have spent over 25 years teaching dancers in India to move with international standards of excellence. It is not about imitating a teacher; it is about mastering the technical tools you need to find your own voice, whether you are a beginner or aiming for the stage.
