REFERRAL FROM A HAPPY MUM!
At the end of the ‘Breaking Ground’ concert for Captivated Dance, one of our incredible mums Mary approached me regarding what a tremendous job we had done. Excitement beamed from her face as she struggled to get a word out because she was so overwhelmed. Finally, Mary told me that the last time she went to Church when she was sixteen years old, she had a vision of this exact concert that Captivated Dance performed. She couldn’t believe that after all these years she finally got to see her vision come to pass. Mary told me she had no idea that I was training all these girls as she thought it would only be a small concert with a few of the younger ones performing. She said I was doing the ‘right thing’ and to not give up but keep pressing forward!

Captivated Dance Company is a Professional Dance Ministry that brings the anointing followed by excellence. It aims to touch peoples hearts and lives through the art form of dance in a relevant, modern approach.

On Saturday the 20th June at 7pm we will be dancing at the Sunshine Coast with Machaneh Dance Company and Academy at their annual concert.

Captivated Dance
What is captivated dance all about?
Captivated Dance is situated at the Varsity College Middle School Assembly Drive, Varsity Lakes and is a Dance Academy where students can learn how to dance from Tiny Tots to Young Adults. Our aim is to give dance students high quality technique, whilst ensuring classes are fun, high energy and exciting. Captivated Dance also gives students the opportunity to make lots of friends of similar interests. Our classes increase strength, flexibility, stamina, memory and co-coordination by learning new routines every week. We also have the Captivated Dance Company, which is a Professional Dance Ministry that performs extensively over the Gold Coast region for a wide variety of events. To be a dancer within Captivated Dance Company you need to go through an audition process. With Captivated Dance Academy anyone can come along and take classes and learn all about dancing and enjoy making new friends!

Have the students competed in competition before and what sort of performance experience have they had?
Captivated Dance had their annual concert on December the 13th 08 at the Nerang Bicentennial Centre and it was a huge success! We had visiting guest artists Machaneh Dance Company perform for us from the Sunshine Coast and Captivated Dance Company performed some of their repertoire as well. There were over 100 people who attended our first concert and 16 items were performed. On the 3rd of March Captivated Dance Company was given the opportunity to perform at the Worongary State School and the children loved our performance and they all wanted to sign up for Captivated Dance Academy classes. We were blown away by the positive response we had.
Captivated Dance is looking forward to many other performance opportunities and Eisteddfods in the future!

What motivated you to start a dance studio?
When I came back from Ballet Magnificat in America I was really excited about starting my own Academy and Company structured in a similar way to Ballet Magnificat, as I loved the atmosphere, concept of dance and vision they had for their Academy. I have always wanted to have my own Dance Studio but wasn’t completely clear about the vision, how to structure it and go from step 1 to the finished product. Since I came back from Ballet Magnificat it has given me a clear picture of how to run the Dance Studio and I’m really excited about what the future holds for Captivated Dance!

What message do you have for people looking to pursue an interest in dance but don’t know where to start?
There are many people currently who have an interest in dance from viewing the media, realising the relevance of dance in the world today and where dance is headed in the future. Dancing can help people in every area of your life giving them the confidence to face life and it’s many challenges. I’d advise anyone who likes a bit of fun; fitness and social outlet to come along and give dance a try. If you’d like to trial one of Captivated Dance Academy classes then you can contact Ali McGuigan on Mob: 0406602649 for class times. You can find what styles of dance there are and see which one would best suit you. I would strongly recommend a ballet class, as it will give you the basic technique and strength for you to do any other styles of dance. Most dancers on the show ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ have been classically trained which gives them the capacity to be very versatile with their dancing! If you’re thinking of learning to dance for the first time I would strongly recommend you commence with one ballet class a week to build your strength and confidence before taking a second class. Dance will provide the
self-discipline needed to attain personal or work related goals, improve your fitness and raise your endorphins, which increase your capacity to destress and study. Exercise assists your concentration and you’ll be given the opportunity to use new areas in your brain to master the exercisers and train your body to move in certain ways.

Ali McGuigan is the Principle for Captivated Dance. Born in Victoria, QLD in 1994, she commenced ballet training at the age of 7. Ali has 13 years of dance experience including dance teaching, putting on dance performances and 7 years experience in Christian ministry. At the tender age of 11 Ali put together a dance group of about 17 girls that danced and performed at Hillcrest Christian school and Churches around the Gold Coast. Ali has also had her own dance team that performed at events for Grace Church, the community and Christian functions on the Gold Coast. She received positive feedback for choreography of performances and the quality and entertainment value of the dancers.
Ali has completed Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) attaining the level of Intermediate and has also achieved Highly Commended for her ‘Gold Bar’ jazz exam with the Australian Teachers of Dance (ATOD). Then to further her study in dance she auditioned for Australian Dance Performance Institute (ADPI) and was accepted. She completed a two year Advanced Diploma of Art (Dance), compromising of Hip Hop, Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, music, Singing and art.
For the 2002 Australian Gospel Music Festival in Toowoomba, Ali taught and choreographed three dancers. Ali and her team did two jazz performances and one slow modern with seven dancers performing. This three day Festival attracts over 150 local and international artists and over 20,000 visitors. This is the largest Festival of its type in Australia.
During Ali’s study at ADPI the students won first place in Contemporary and second place in the tap at the Brisbane Eisteddfod. At the National Eisteddfod they received first place for the Contemporary and Ballet pieces that were performed. As a result of this success the students got to perform in the Sydney Opera House. Ali also got to perform at the National Dance Theatre in Melbourne for the National Choreography Competition. She then went on and completed the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Advanced One.
At the completion of Ali’s training at ADPI she auditioned for Ballet Magnificat, the only full time Christian Ballet Company in the world and was accepted. The company was located in Jackson Mississippi and she got to travel all over America. Since Ali’s return from America she has performed at the Surf City Church, Hope Church, with the Youth Alive dance team at Expo day and other events. She has taken dance classes at Dani and Anna’s Studio of Dance and Dynamic Dance. Ali now dances with the Messiah dance team at Generation Church, which regularly performs for Church events. In January 2008 Ali was accepted into a Christian Contemporary Company called Excelsia Dance Company, which is located in Brisbane. She is currently still dancing with Excelsia and will be heading to New York in September to present a piece on child trafficking from an Australian perspective. Ali is currently taking ballet and contemporary classes at Ransley Ballet and will be sitting her RAD teachers in the future.
