School Programs
One50 Dance is a program of Youth For Christ Australia.
Established over 9 years ago One50 runs 10 after school clubs across Adelaide as well as workshops in schools for both primary and secondary ages.
What are our School Programs about?
One50 school programs aim to lift the self-esteem and self confidence of those who participate, whilst using dance to provide fitness, co-ordination, team work, persistence and challenge. The workshops encourage young people to dream and achieve their full potential. They create a positive environment for young people to trust, let go of inhibitions and be themselves.
Our experience has been that with the right encouragement dance and performance can help young people take a giant step in self-confidence. We see this in those who may have never attempted dance before right through to those who are extraordinary dancers. Young people are crying out to be accepted, to feel worthy, to feel as if they are good at something, and to have permission to be themselves. One50 is passionate to see this happen.

One50 School Dance Workshops
One50 Dance Workshops are a creative arts program that teaches a blend of street funk and hip hop dance styles. They are exciting and interactive, giving young people an opportunity to perform, choreograph, and participate in life skill activities, through the use of dance and other activity based learning. One50 Dance Workshops build self-confidence, self-respect, teamwork, leadership, and encourage healthy minds and healthy bodies.
Our workshops can consist of between 1-8 sessions or could be used as a once off event in your school calendar. A workshop may run anywhere from 45mins – 1.5 hours, each session looking at developing basic knowledge and understanding of the exciting and rapidly developing style known as street funk or hip –hop. For bookings over several weeks, students will learn skills that will prepare them for a routine. After several weeks the routine is developed to a level that it can be performed to an audience. Choreography chosen will depend on the age and ability of the group and the time frame of the program.

“The team ran an intense and active group development/dance program in the most professional manner. Students benefited from the program through developing important whole group skills, for example co-operation, decision making and resolving conflict.”
Middle School Manager
“The instructors were professional and enthusiastic in their approach to the students and the girls loved the style of dance. The final performance was a perfect chance for the dancers to demonstrate their new found skills and everybody had a great time.”
Student Counsellor
“Through the One50 Dance program we were able to achieve; heightened self esteem amongst the girls, improved relationships / cohesion, and a sense of belonging to a team with common goals and feeling valued. (Great to see the smiles on the girls’ faces when watching the finished project. Very rewarding!)”
