6 months SFDF Dance Foundation Course
Take up a dance certificate course in Actfa Dance School Singapore that builds strong foundation and detailed fundamentals, designed for non-dancers with two left feet who really want to become the best that they can be at the lowest cost. It focuses on fundamental, foundation work and choreography training.
Why a Dance Foundation Certification?
One of the most important differences between social class and SFDF dance certificate course is that SFDF class allows the teacher to correct the students in greater detail. As for a social class, they prefer a more entertaining environment. Social students after 3 years of training will only be able to pass the level 2 Dance Certification at most, whereas students from the SFDF can achieve up to level 7 within as short a period as 1 year.
With training between 5 to 18 hours a week, this program is for those who like to perform and train under proper guidance. The students in this course get direct attention from the instructors, who will assess each student's standard and plan their classes based on his level and interest.
Learning at a group level, students attend various types of accelerated and correlated dance classes. The course is modular based and is suited for all levels of students.
Even though this course is suitable for anyone between the age of 7 to 80 years old, it is specially designed for working adults & teenagers who are non-dancers with two left feet and have a very busy schedule or travel very often.
After the completion of this course, students will go for the examination to get their certificates and will pass the criteria on all 18 modules to gain entrance to the Prestigious 3 years Professional Performer & Dance Instructor Course.
Once you graduate from the SFDF 6 Months Dance Course, you will be able to teach the Basic and Intermediate Level Dance Classes.

The Value of Certification:
1) Track your progress in dancing
2) Track areas for improvement
3) Gives you goals to look forward to
4) Create a clear path to be a great dancer
Why Choose us?
The value of certification, even for social dances, lies mainly in its use as a setter of standards. Students will be able to gauge, judge, and track the progress of their learning, as well as get a better idea of where they stand in relation to their peers.
It is obvious and universally accepted that social dance is free-flowing and not restricted to a rigid set of rules and regulations. We believe that at the core of every good dancer, there are certain fundamentals such as proper posture and form, an understanding of how to lead and follow, the ability to follow the music, etc.
AC dance certification helps dancers of all levels to gauge their proficiency in these fundamentals and will be an invaluable tool for social dancers who are concern and serious about improving the way they look, feel and lead/follow on the dance floor.
