This week on the blog, we’re interviewing Tom Shilcock, Professional Dancer and one of the hosts of the Can You Dance? events. For more information about CYD? check out this post we published last week.

Tom is one of the top dancers in the UK. He’s danced with some of the biggest artists out there including Rihanna, Jessie J, Marcus Collins and many more. He was also featured on Season 2 of BBC1’s So You Think You Can Dance.

Read on to find out more about Tom’s passion for dance, his contribution to CYD? Events and he learned on So You Think You Can Dance.

Tom, we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. How are the preparations for Can You Dance? going?

“That’s ok, preparations for CYD? are well underway now, a lot of time and effort has gone into each event. We strive to offer nothing but the best at CYD?”

And that’s why Capezio is so proud to be involved! Tell us a bit more about where your passion for dance came from.

“My passion came from working with amazing tutors who now in return inspire me to teach alongside my professional career.”

Who was your biggest inspiration growing up?

“Other dancers around me. I love to learn from others.”

You studied at Laine Theatre Arts. What do you remember of your time there?

“Only good memories I loved training every day and pushing myself to the limit.”

And that’s what you did with BBC 1’s So You Think You Can Dance in 2011. What can you tell us about your experience on the show?

“It was a very intense experience, as you wouldn’t have long to learn all the routines before performing live on TV. There was no room for error. It definitely taught me how to perform under pressure and work with cameras.”

Do you have any advice for dancers who’d like to give it a try?

“Yes, work hard and believe in yourself.”

Thanks Tom! You’ve danced with so many famous artists and have choreographed a lot in the past few years. What are you the proudest of?

“It has to be performing with Rihanna at the Brit Awards.”

It sounds fantastic. What’s next for you?

“Next for me is working with the amazing CYD? Team. I love breaking new boundaries.  I love being creative and have different projects in the pipeline.”

We wish you the best of luck and look forward to seeing you at Can You Dance? Later this month!

Follow Tom on Twitter (@TomShilcock) or come and meet with him at one of the Can You Dance? Events. 

Following on from our previous blog post about Can You Dance?, we thought it would be great for you to get to know the hosts of the event: Matt Flint and Tom Shilcock.

In today’s blog post, we bring you an interview with Matt who also works as a Choreographer, Dancer and Teacher. Matt also won BBC1’s Season 2 of “So You Think You Can Dance”.

Read on to find out more about his passion for dance as well as his past and current work.

Matt, thank you so much for giving us some of your time. You must be an extremely busy man between the West End, Happy Feet and Can You Dance? How are you managing?

"Haha, good question! I love it; I am a bit of a workaholic. My life at the moment is half creative, half business. I find it exciting having lots of different projects on the go. I feel very lucky that I have a lot of diversity; it means that I never have the same day at work! I don’t have any choreographic projects for a couple of months so I can put my full focus into CYD?"

Tell us about your passion for dance. Where did it come from?

"My passion for dance begun as soon as I stepped into that first studio. I was grabbed by how much fun I had and it seemed the perfect way of making a living! I have never looked back and I am still, if not more, as passionate."

You won Series 2 of So You Think You Can Dance in 2011. What was it like?

"It was an amazing experience. I have only great memories from my time on the show. I really feel that I did it at the perfect time, being 30 years old. I still had good fitness and technique but had a bit of experience behind me. The show has changed all aspects of my life and thrown me into work I didn’t expect to be doing."

What did you learn from the whole experience?

"I learnt that being a part of these TV shows is not just about talent; it’s being able to get your personality across through the camera. If you can do that successfully you’re half way there.Also, I learnt how the TV studio works and how to shoot dance on camera. It gave me confidence to do the TV & Film choreography I have gone on to do."

Do you have any advice for dancers who would like to get on the show?

"To do a show like SYTYCD you need to be certain what your style is, your chosen genre. Make sure you are unique, try and find a different angle. Then train in every other style imaginable. As a dancer you are always learning. I believe the downfall of many dancers is they believe they have reached where they need to be! The best, in my opinion, never stop learning."

You’ve choreographed for Film, TV and Theatre. What are you the proudest of so far?

"That is difficult. I am extremely proud of everything! The one thing that stands out is going to LA to choreograph for the US finale of SYTYCD on FOX. To work with dancers of that caliber was special."

You’ve been quite active on the West End lately. Tell us more about what you’ve been up to.

"I’m not really performing at the moment. Mostly choreographing! I’ve got a couple of shows coming up; I’m choreographing for ‘West End Heroes’ at the Dominion Theatre and a production of ‘The Music Man’. I have just choreographed a new movie - ‘All Stars’ - which is released nationwide on 3rd May. Check it out!"

We’ll do! Do you have any plans for the next few months?

"Mostly Can You Dance? It’s very exciting times! I’m still doing lots of work through my other company, Happy Feet Productions, traveling around the country whenever I get the chance!"

Thanks for your time Matt. We look forward to catching up with you at Can You Dance? Later this month.

"Happy dancing everyone!" 

Follow Matt on Twitter (@MattJFlint) or come and meet with him at one of the Can You Dance? Events.

Capezio are very proud to sponsor the series of events “Can You Dance”, organised by Professional Dancers and Choreographers Matt Flint and Tom Shilcock. In today’s blog post, we catch up with the CYD? hosts on what the events are about and why you should definitely attend.

Matt Flint (@mattjflint)

Matt is a London based Choreographer, Dancer, Presenter, Teacher, Judge and Winner of BBC1’s So You Think You Can Dance. He’s appeared in no less than 10 West End shows and spent the last 10 years teaching at most of London’s top Performing Arts Colleges including Laine Theatre Arts, London Studio Centre and Arts Educational. Matt is also the Creative Director of Happy Feet Productions.

Tom Shilcock (@tomshilcock)

Tom is one of the top dancers in the UK. He trained professionally at the prestigious Laine Theatre Arts before being featured on Season 2 of BBC1’s So You Think You Can Dance and dancing with some of the biggest artists out there including Rihanna, Jessie J, Marcus Collins and many more. He’s also been choreographing for many high profile sporting clubs after his recent success with the Leicester Tigers.

Hi guys, tell us about Can You Dance and where the idea came from.

The idea for CYD? came about when we were both on ‘So You Think You Can Dance’. We love teaching and saw it as a way of bringing a great dance opportunity to different counties. CYD? means dancers don’t have to travel to London to work with some of the best in the industry.

What can dancers expect to get out of these events?

THE most important factor in being a successful dancer is versatility!! CYD? is about showcasing yourself in your favorite genre and then taking classes in different genres - learning and expanding your dance knowledge. We pride ourselves on bringing in tutors who are current in the industry and have their finger on the pulse.

Tell us more about your event in Norwich.

We are at the Sportspark, UEA on Sunday 19th May! The day will run between 10am and 6pm with competitions and Masterclasses running all day. The dance exhibition is FREE to enter and will have everything from dancewear, accessories, colleges, costume suppliers, agencies and photographers.

That sounds great! Can you give us 5 reasons why it’s the event not to miss this year?

1.  It’s THE biggest dance event to hit Norwich, Nottingham and Leeds.

2. The winner of Sky 1’s ‘Got To Dance’ - Lukas McFarlane will be taking Masterclasses and meeting the dancers.

3. The winners of the Senior Competition get to perform at a theatre in London’s West End.

4. Leading dance brand Capezio is sponsoring the event and are exhibiting.

5. It’s a chance to meet like-minded dancers and industry experts.

You’ve already organised a CYD? event before – in Nottingham. What was it like?

When we piloted the event last year, it was a massive success. The Midlands did us proud. There was a great turnout and some great talent. We were really impressed by how much diversity there was in the Competition.

What kind of feedback did you receive from dancers there? 

The feedback on the day and post event was fantastic! The dancers were saying that what they had learnt in one day was quite unbelievable. Many of them were saying they would go back to their dance school and explore some different styles... Job done!

Fantastic! How can dancers register to the Norwich event?

Dancers can register at www.can-you-dance.co.uk. Payment is via PayPal. If you don’t have a PayPal account you can email hello@can-you-dance.co.uk for alternative payment. Remember you don’t have to compete; Silver Entry Tickets allow you to take the Masterclasses, watch the Competition & browse the Exhibition.

 What are your plans with CYD? for the rest of the year?

After CYD? Norwich, we are heading off to Nottingham, then Leeds! Our aim is to discover all the hidden talent around the UK.

Capezio look forward to following you on the road.

You might be thinking summer is still a long way away but when it comes to summer dance schools, the sooner you look into it the better! In today’s blog post, Teacher Claire Tyler explains why she thinks it’s essential for dancers to attend summer dance schools, what her own experience was like and how to get started.

By Claire Tyler

Whether you are going to full time training in September or are continuing your training next year, a summer Dance school is a great opportunity to extend your repertoire and gain experience with other teachers and dancers. It is also a great chance to visit schools and colleges that you might be planning on auditioning for in the future.

Each school has their own application process and in some cases bursary schemes so it’s worth looking on their website for more information. Many get booked up quickly so make sure to book soon to avoid disappointment. Also, in some cases there are early booking discounts. If your friends are also thinking of doing summer workshops then you may be lucky enough to get a group booking discount if you all book at the same time.

Don’t forget to put these weeks onto your CV or personal portfolio as it will show independent learning to future schools and colleges that you apply for. It will also demonstrate your ability to initiate independent study.

I used to participate in summer schools each year starting with local dance schools. As I got older and more involved in Dance, I went to the Urdang Summer School. This eventually led to me auditioning to their associate classes as I really enjoyed the variety of teachers and the specialist technical and chorographical elements I learned. They also sometimes offer additional audition classes to coach you into expectations and how schools usually run the days. It’s definitely worth looking into.

There are more Dance colleges and schools releasing information all the time so if you have a local or a favourite just keep an eye on their website, Twitter and Facebook pages.

Following up on the success of the Capezio Demi Soft transition shoe, we’ve created a new basic style: the Demi Pointe.  The concept is the same but the shoe includes new features. 

Read on to find out more about the improvements we’ve made and how these shoes can help you.

The Concept:

The Demi Pointe is the beginners’ best choice.  Although the shoe looks and feels like a pointe shoe, It has no shank and is therefore not designed to wear on pointe. The aim is to acquaint the dancer with the feel of a pointe shoe whilst building foot strength and confidence before the transition to regular pointe shoes. In other words, the Demi Pointe is a pre-pointe training shoe.

Features:

 The Demi Pointe is available with a tapered toe box (1116) and a broad toe box (1118).

 Contrarily to the Demi Soft, the Demi Pointe is available with a choice of a tapered or broad toe box . The 1116 fits narrow forefoot with tapered toes and the 1118 fits broad forefoot with even length toes. Just as with pointe shoes, you should always have a professional fitting to determine which toe box shape is best for your feet.

New pleatless stitched toe construction

 You will notice there are no pleats under the toes. The shoe is therefore flatter than a regular pointe shoe and allows the dancer to feel the floor more.  

Round throat and low vamp

 The vamp is shorter than the 317 allowing the dancer to relevé with ease and work in the three-quarter position.

Soft cotton lining:

 The internal cotton lining is soft, comfortable and conforms to the foot.

Light strength box

 The light strength box means that the front of the shoe is not as hard as it would be in a regular pointe shoe.  

Very light wings

 The sides of the wings become gradually softer from the box to the sides of the foot.

Internal cushion at platform

 The Demi Pointe is slightly cushioned which makes the shoe quieter when jumping.

Short ballet outer sole

 Just like on a regular ballet shoe, the Demi Pointe features a suede outer sole.

No shank

 As previously mentioned, the dancer cannot go on pointe with the Demi Pointe because the shoe has no shank.

Satin binding

 The elegant satin binding is the same colour as the shoe. It helps create a seamless transition between the shoe and the tight and complements the dancer’s leg line.

The Demi Pointe is now available online and in-stores. To request a professional fitting,

please contact our London store on +44 (0)207 379 6042.

This week, we’re launching a revolutionary ballet shoe for children called Love Ballet. What’s special about it? It’s adjustable to grow with the foot of the child. What it means for mums? You won’t have to keep buying new pairs of ballet shoes for your little ballerina!

The Growth Pocket and the adjustable instep strap system

The Love Ballet shoe features a power mesh Growth Pocket, which can stretch up to a half size of foot growth.

There is also an adjustable instep strap system featuring a plush elastic strap with a button. All you have to do is find the most comfortable placement for your child and place the button through the button holes – the elastic will then stay buttoned and in place until you need to change it.
 

Need a little more convincing? Here are 5 more reasons to love this new ballet shoe:

1.    The shoe can function both as full sole and a split sole

The sole design features a two part suede sole that allows the shoe to function as both a full sole and split sole. How? The forepart extends long enough to work like a full sole and help young feet strengthen. The heel cup also has extended coverage for comfort and stability.

2.    It’s soft and comfortable

The shoe is made of soft, supple and durable leather.

3.    No drawstring

No need for Mums to keep tying the elastics on the front of the shoes anymore.

4.    The buttons

Your daughter will love the cute heart shaped button feature.

5.    The flirty print cotton lining

The cotton lining is adorable; It features hearts, flowers, butterflies and lady bugs.

The Love Ballet shoe is now available in stores and online. We’d love to hear your feedback on the shoe so get in touch on Facebook. Twitter or simply by leaving us a comment below.

After much waiting and anticipation, we have finally launched our new Dancesport footwear collection! 11 gorgeous new styles featuring deluxe satin, kid skin leather, quality fabrics and subtle details such as crystals.

All our new Dancesport styles also incorporate the Capezio Signature Collection which enhances the natural movement of the foot with engineered articulation points. It includes a ¾ layered shank thinning towards the forefoot, a bevelled insole, a suede forefoot sole and a leather breasted heel.

Let’s have a look at the 8 features you will love about our new new Dancesport shoes!

1. Dual density top lift

The top lift has two layers. The bottom layer is softer and provides shock absorption. The top layer is hard and grooved for stability and traction.

2. Heel covers

Heel covers (see above) are included with every pair of Capezio Dancesport shoes.

3. Performance cushioning

All our shoes include an environmentally friendly performance footbed that enhances comfort and foot health. Non-toxic, moisture absorbent and anti-fungal, this recycled content open interlinking cell foam, has memory and quick recovery after repeated or long wear. The footbed is featured throughout the shoe with thicker padding under the heel for added comfort.

4. Speed buckle

The speed buckle allows you to put on and remove the shoes quickly and easily. They come in a variety of sizes and finishes to complement each style.

5. Heel heights and styles

We’ve got 2 heel heights (2.5” and 3”) and two heel styles: A. the flared heel is a graceful and elegant curve with a generous and stable heel strike. B. The modern heel is a slimmer and more traditional heel with a tapered look and smaller heel strike.

6. Sock lining

The sock lining is made of soft leather. It is comfortable and strong.

7. Deluxe Satin

The Satin we’ve used is resistant to snagging, oil, water and dirt.

8. Strap channel

We’ve added multiple straps to some of the styles to relieve tension and for aesthetic purposes. The strap channel on the sole under the arch are there to keep straps in place, enhancing fit and performance.

The Capezio Dancesport footwear collection is now available online and in stores. We’d love to hear your feedback so don’t hesitate to leave us a comment or to email us at bmemarketing@capezio.com

Are you a dance lover looking to take your passion to the next level by studying Dance at university or in a conservatoire? Are you having trouble choosing what option is the best of you? This post by Freelance Dance Teacher and Capezio Guest Blogger Claire Tyler should help you making up your mind. Claire will run you through the different options you have to train in the UK and give you her best recommendation on what your next move should be.

By Claire Tyler

There are different things to consider when progressing in dance at degree level, the first being if you want a degree at all. Having a degree in Dance will give you the opportunity to train for three years in something that you love and are passionate about, and also give you a solid background if for whatever reason you decided not to progress further in the Dance world. With a degree you can progress onto teacher training amongst other courses, and you can gain degrees in many of the traditional Dance Conservatoires as well as the traditional Universities. 

Traditional Universities 

To apply for University in the traditional sense students need to apply through the UCAS website which currently shows 313 Dance or Dance related degrees. All of your qualifications are collaborated along with your details and supporting statements and references, which are then sent to the individual Universities to decide if they will give you a conditional, unconditional or no offer. This offer will be based on your predicted grades and experience. The deadline is usually the beginning of January. The most popular Universities for Dance are Surrey, Roehampton, Middlesex, Chichester & De Montford, however this changes year on year depending on facilities and results.

Dance Conservatoire’s offering Degrees

The majority of Dance Conservatoire’s accept applications direct to them by filling out forms that can be found on their own website. The following places offer degrees as well as diplomas and/or certificates; Rambert, Laban (also available to apply through CUKAS), Northern Contemporary, The Place, Royal Academy of Dance (also available to apply through UCAS), Urdang, London Studio Centre, Bird College, Central School of Ballet and Lippa (also available to apply through UCAS). These places of study have direct links within the Dance profession, in most cases with their own companies or agencies. They tend to be aimed towards performance but some offer courses specifically for choreography and Dance Science. 

Dance Conservatoire’s not offering Degrees

Where a degree is not offered it does not mean that the training will not be as good, it simply means that they can offer one or two year foundation degrees, diplomas or certificates in education to prepare you for a degree or professional performance career. It is also a good way to make sure that Dance is the route that you wish to go down as it can be very unpredictable and tough to get work so you will need determination. Conservatoire’s that offer these courses are; SLP, MADD, The Brit School, Tiffany’s, Laines, Italia Conti & Mount View. With some of these courses you can do your teacher training alongside in RAD, IDTA or ISTD or use the foundation degree to progress onto a full degree through distance learning or deferring to another University. 

Advice

The only way you will know what you want to do is to look at the websites of the Universities and Conservatoires to narrow down your options, request a prospectus, speak with ex and current students, visit the University or Conservatoire open days and visit events like Move It to see what their work is like. Research into the right course for you is worthwhile as fees aren’t cheap, so it’s good for you to be sure of your plan. Good Luck!

You’ve probably heard it before and we’ll say it again: nutrition is essential to dancers. You need to be aware of the food you put in your body and what exactly your body needs in order to function properly. We’ve asked Dance Teacher and Capezio Guest Blogger Amie Brotherton her thoughts on the matter and what her typical menu is like. Read on and let us know what you think.

By Amie Brotherton.

As a ballet teacher, dancer and someone who does alot of running and swimming, it's really important that I get decent nutrition into my body. And you’ll be pleased to know, it's not all saintly!

This morning I started off the day with an early morning  swimming session, so when I got back I got a protein packed breakfast in. 2 eggs whisked into an omelette with ham and low fat cheese (my favourite is Cathedral City Lighter - still tastes like cheese even though it’s low-fat). This breakfast contains not only protein, but vitamins A, B, D, E and many more from the eggs - essential fatty acids - calcium from the cheese and more B vitamins and minerals from the ham.

Now about 10:30am I get a bit peckish, and I usually try to be good and have some dried cranberries and nuts - cashews, almonds and Brazil nuts. These are all full of essential fatty acids (the good fats!), vitamins and fibre which are all good for healthy hearts, bones, nails, skin and hair. The dried cranberries are full of vitamin C and natural sugars. 

Recently I've had a spree of making my own homemade soups – today butternut squash is on the menu after making a big batch on Sunday to keep me going all week. They're great for filling you up and are packed with yet more vitamins! If it's homemade, you know exactly what has gone in (no nasty preservatives). But if you haven't got time to make your own soup -try the Skinny Soup Company for some tasty flavours. I’ve got some Rye bread on the side for some complex carbs to keep my blood sugar levels steady for the hours of teaching ahead of me!

Now...like every other woman I have to confess that come about 4pm, there's that lull in the day where I need a little pick me up. I usually try to be good and have a yoghurt or a low-sugar cereal bar most of the time. But today a KitKat has snuck its way into my handbag (of course totally unaided by me!) so I will enjoy this little indulgence!

Today's dinner is lean mince in the form of spaghetti bolognaise, with wholegrain pasta to provide more complex carbohydrates. This important dinner contains protein and carbohydrates to keep you full and your body topped up with good things for the repairing it will be doing over night after all that teaching and dancing!

All in all, I try to have a good balance with plenty of protein, calcium, essential fats and complex carbs. Then of course, there's the odd treat in the form of some chocolate, or a bag of sweets because no one can be good all of the time!

What about you? Share with us your typical daily menu!

Looking for a new pair of ballet, jazz, modern or contemporary dance shoes? Claire Tyler, freelance Dance teacher specialising in GCSE & A Level Dance, Ballet with IDTA & RAD syllabus, Contemporary, Hip Hop and Creative Dance, tells us about her newest purchase: the Freeform FF01. Read her feedback below and don’t forget to share yours!

What I love about the Capezio Freeform FF01:

It’s lightweight

A ballet shoe should be lightweight and enhance the natural arch in my opinion, and that is exactly what the Freeform shoe accomplishes. The mesh and leather combination allows extra comfort during movement with the thin soft sole almost undetectable whilst dancing.

It’s durable

Although at first I was concerned about the durability of the mesh, it is unexpectedly resilient. The mesh forms a very thin coverage, similar to that of tights that accentuate your natural arch.

It’s versatile

The shoes are appropriate for ballet, lyrical, jazz, contemporary and yoga making them multipurpose for all those freelancers out there. They are resilient on various floors, gripping when you need it most; sprung floor, wooden floors, Harlequin Dance floors and on yoga mats.

My advice for the sizing:

The shoes came up slightly smaller than my normal canvas ballet shoes but the leather/mesh design allows for some give.

 
 
All in all, I will be making an order for some in each colour; black, pink and caramel sorting out my dance footwear for the foreseeable future!

What about you, have you ever tried the Freeform? What did you think?
