We need a name for the new dance improvisation studio. Dance group name

Dear friends!

A joyful event is about to happen in my life - my dream of a job must come true, which will bring joy to me and, I believe, joy and benefit to those with whom I am going to work: mothers and babies.
For many years I have been engaged in movement and dance (not classical choreography, but modern directions of movement-dance-theater), and all this time I was sad that this remains only a hobby. Gradually, I realized that I have no desire for the stage, but I would like to study with the children and share with them what I learned, communicate with them in a language that is close and understandable not only to me, but also to every person, although sometimes a little forgotten.

Now I am for almost 2 years - a happy, although not very successful (yet) mom. And a new feeling appeared - classes should be for mothers and babies. I dream of creating a creative space in which mom and baby would learn to communicate in the language of dance, theater, movement - such is the game.

Friends! Please help me think of a name for this project. You understand how important this is, and I ask for support.

The working title is "Unison". The point is that in the classroom, mom and baby will find a new way of communication, co-tuning to each other, harmony ...

But I am a little confused - isn't the word too dry, serious? I would like the title to contain joy, brightness, movement, and life ... :) So that the appeal contained in the title would like to immediately respond and run to study!

I would be very grateful for your support! There will be questions along the way - I will try to answer quickly.

And now about the studio:

Dance improvisation studio "Unison"
Creative activities for kids and parents.

Dance and theatrical improvisation is a fascinating journey to oneself and to each other, in which new and beautiful things are discovered. And all this - without rigid frameworks, imposing stereotypes and patterns of movement: we are looking for our own dance, our own language and create our own little world.

Within the framework of the classes, various techniques of modern dance (contemporary dance) and dance-movement therapy are used; breathing exercises; elements of theatrical creativity - sketch work, work with objects, performance.

What will we do and what will happen in our studio:
Gently tune in to the creative process with exercise, massage, music, breathing and dance.
Dance improvisation, spontaneous dance.
Dance and theatrical studies: work with objects and images.
Dance in physical and emotional contact with the baby.
Working with rhythm and sounds.
Performance - we will show each other little dance performances and through this we will get to know each other better, share intimate and learn new things.

What these classes give:
A new way to communicate with your baby
Get to know your body better
They open the mother and the baby towards each other, teach them to feel subtly and trust each other.
Develop imagination, creativity
Allows you to learn self-expression through movement, dance and performance
They give an opportunity to look in a new way (or rather, a well-forgotten old one) to look at familiar things in etude work with objects and sounds. And our kids will be helpers and the best teachers for us.
Create a space where you can have a good time in a creative union with your child

No physical, dance or theatrical training is required for classes: we are sure that the Dance lives in everyone!

Dances are popular with people of all ages, genders and nationalities. After all, they make it possible to maintain yourself in excellent physical shape, improve flexibility, relax, cheer up and more. Those who have turned from the category of amateurs to professionals or want to become such, create dance classes.

Brainstorm

Most of the already formed groups, and sometimes training together for a rather long period, are faced with a problem: what to come up with the name of the dance group. It would seem, what could be simpler? But in practice, things are more complicated. Let's figure out how to get out of this rather difficult situation. After all, be that as it may, for each of them it is required - the name of the dance group.

First of all, the name should be invented by more than one person, not even the leader, but the whole dance group should be involved in this venture. In other words, arrange a real brainstorming session. Each idea that will be proposed in its course, write down and think over. And even if at first it seems that they do not make sense, later it turns out that it was this idea that helped to decide how to name the dance group. Therefore, it is worth writing down all the ideas that arise during the discussion.

The main thing to keep in mind is the fact that the name of the dance group should reflect its essence, style, attitude, energy, personality, even the age category. That is, the name of the group should reflect the very essence of the dance group. So it is impossible to treat this issue with negligence. After all, as they say, whatever you call the ship, so it will float.

Basic rules for naming a dance group

Of course, the name of a dance group is a purely creative process, but even it provides for the observance of some rules. These little tricks will allow you to create exactly the option that will be able to reflect the essence of the dance group:

• When choosing a name, take into account the genre style of the group, for example, a modern dance ensemble is one style. Accordingly, the name should be suitable for this genre. Hip-hop dance groups should have a completely different name to suit this style.
• Also take into account the age category, because the name for a children's group requires simpler words and their combinations, more understandable and easy to remember, especially by its participants.
• The name should be euphonic, easy to pronounce, you don't need to use catchy words, even if you really like how interesting they sound. Avoid long words as well.
• Start from the ethnicity of the dance the group is doing.
• If you decide to come up with a name for a dance group consisting of several words, be sure to make sure that they work well with each other and form a single whole. But do not get carried away by the length of the name, otherwise it will be difficult to remember.
• You should not choose as the name of your group those that will overlap with existing ones, no matter how much you like them. The point is that, one way or another, people, having heard it, will draw analogies. And sometimes, unwittingly, they will compare your team with someone who already has a similar name. And no one can guarantee that this comparison will be in your favor.
• Use words that are familiar to you, for example, some elements of dance, style, costume, country of origin of the dance direction, and so on.
• Remember that the name is the first impression of the team. That is, the viewer, without even seeing the performance, after the announcement of the group of dancers, having heard its name, already draws a certain image for himself, and he has a certain impression in advance.
• Do not forget also about humor, because it often saves the most hopeless situation, including with the search for a name for a dance group. Of course, there is no need to step over the line, it is worth remembering the norms of morality. And the name with humor is not suitable for every team.
• When looking for a name for a children's dance group, avoid complex words and phrases, choose those that dance class participants can easily pronounce on their own and understand their essence.

Dance eras

An excellent solution for how to name a dance group would be a temporary era. Especially if the dances are themed. Or the direction of the dance, some of its foundations, movements were invented at that time. For example, a collective that deals with ancient dances may be called "Baroque" or "Renaissance". But be careful, the children's dance group does not go well with the complex and tricky names. By the way, some syllables can be cut off from the names of the eras, as a result of which new words can be obtained, which will become the sonorous name of the dance group.

For ballroom dance groups, the names Belle Epoque, Medival may be appropriate. Taking a historical era or a temporary passage as a basis for the name, do not forget about the style orientation of the team. After all, for example, for a group engaged in Latin American dances, the name "Decadence" is unlikely to be appropriate. But do not be too zealous in the historical binding of the name of the collective.

Dance group style

The genre direction of a dance group is another clue in the difficult task of choosing a name for it. For example, if you are doing it is worth somehow playing it in the name of the group. The same applies to the ballroom: more refined, slightly elevated, graceful names are suitable here. There is plenty of room for the hip-hop dance group and other contemporary dances. By the way, if in your repertoire there are some frequently performed numbers or a dance-calling card, then their name can be used as the name of the group. Choose names that are unusual, meaningful to your group, and that can convey you in the right way. Subsequently, the viewer will associate both the dance itself, regardless of its performer, and the word itself with your team.

Name and locality

The use of the names of rivers, lakes, mountains and other geographical objects as the name of the dance group will be very interesting and original. You can even call the group some kind of architectural monuments, famous tourist places. For example, the group "Versailles" or "Foggy Albion", or "Pyramid of Cheops". Or "Volga Patterns" - the name speaks about the area, and hints at the style, reflects it, that is, it immediately becomes clear that the dance group is engaged in a folk direction.

Dance elements

A good idea for the name of a group can also be the names of some dance steps or elements, movements that are inherent in your particular stylistic direction. As a rule, they are euphonious, bright, moreover, having heard them, one can immediately assume in what genre the group is performing.

The name of the style itself can also serve as the name of the collective. But keep in mind that in this case it is easy to end up with the same name with other groups, because this technique is used by many. After all, it's pretty simple.

Euphoniousness

Do not forget that the name should be easy to pronounce, be pleasant to the ear, not cut it. Of course, some people rely on originality and the fact that a harsh word will make a person remember the name faster. But, as practice shows, it is easier for people to remember what they liked. Try to insert the chosen team name into different phrases and sentences, to persuade it. Then you can see how good it sounds.

Ease of perception

The age category of the groups is different, and even the audience is even more so. Therefore, the name must be selected so that it is easy to understand, both for little fans and parents, grandfathers and grandmothers of the band members. Therefore, you should still avoid ultra-modern expressions, the only exceptions are groups that choose the latest trends in dance. Many people call dance groups in foreign words. This is a good move, but make sure that the chosen word is easy to pronounce, even by those who do not know foreign languages.

Of course, coming up with a name for a dance group is troublesome, but worth it. After choosing the correct name of the group, you thereby create the best impression about it and the necessary reputation.

Question: What is the difference between a dance studio and a dance school?

Answer:

This question arises quite often, because on the Internet for the search query "dancing" there are many links to various types of dance schools. Among them: dancing school, dance studio, dance center, dance arts laboratory... Let's try to understand this variety.

For those who prefer to study dancing at home, there is no need to understand the differences between a dance school and a dance studio - they just need to find video dance lessons on the Internet that have a number of advantages: they can be watched at any time convenient for you and, if desired, repeated as many times as you need for a good memorization of the study material.

For those who want to learn dancing "live", the traditional option is suitable - attending dance lessons with a teacher. And here it is necessary to understand the differences between the various forms of organization of dance educational institutions that are currently available.

At present (especially in Moscow) dances are represented quite widely. To begin with, let's say that one of the reasons for this is the huge selection of dance styles that are now developing in our country, and in the world as a whole. The second reason is a wide range of types of training sessions: individual lessons, group lessons, vip groups, master classes, open lessons, etc.

Such an impressive set of styles and forms of organizing classes has led to the fact that now you can practice dancing in almost any area, at any time convenient for you, in any direction and in any volume that you just want.

So, let's try to figure out the names:

Dancing school- as a rule, this is an educational institution that teaches according to a program that provides for a step-by-step, gradually becoming more complicated study of one or more dance styles.

Dance studio- this is, usually, a group of dancers developing one or several directions of dance, the main purpose of which is to create dance compositions and performances. Despite the fact that the main task is to create dance numbers, dance studios also teach dance and the best students from the study groups, as a rule, subsequently move to the studio.

Dance center- unites teachers-choreographers of various dance styles. The advantage of dance centers is the ability to study at the same time not one, but several directions in one place.

Dance Arts Laboratory- this is, as a rule, a collective of innovative choreographers who experiment in the field of dance, developing existing styles and creating new directions (often due to the use of elements of a different style in one dance style).

Understanding these differences, you will find the correct answer to the question: "What should I choose: a dance studio or a dance school?"

Instructions

If your group has independent ones from the repertoire, one of them may be an excellent option for you (Turdion, Dargason, Bassdance). Pick something beautiful, unusual, or something that has special meaning to you (like the first one you learned).

Many dance steps and figures have their own names, you can easily choose one of them as a name for the group. For example, Riverenza or Cadenza.

The name of the group can be the name of a place or object that is especially significant for your dance direction. It could be a river, a building, or whatever. For example, Versailles, Albion, Rio de Janeiro. A toponym may not be an independent name, but a part of it, for example, "Petersburg secrets" or "Brazilian night".

It would be logical for the ensemble of folk dances to mention in its name that nationality, whose repertoire is present, or some characteristic feature of this. For example, "Celtic Patterns", "Tartan", "Galician" or at least just Folk Danse.

The name of the group can reflect the dance era or theme, especially when it comes to ancient dances. For example, Medival, Renaissance, Belle Époque.

The name should match the style of the group and the nature of the dance. The name "Zhuravushka" is suitable for a Russian folk ensemble, but not for break dance, and if you dance elegant and country dances, you should not be called "Round dance of drunken trolls" or "Wild". This is not so important if you are dancing only for yourself and your friends, but if you are counting on the general public and demonstrations, come up with a name that does not need to be changed later.

note

Be sure to check if there is already a group with the same name that you came up with for yourself.

Helpful advice

Do not forget about the principles of euphony, originality and memorability. Do not use a title longer than two or three words.

What language to come up with and write the name of the group in is your business, but remember that it should be easy and unambiguous to read. Avoid languages ​​with difficult spelling, such as French. You yourself then write and dictate this name.

Coming up with a name is often the hardest part. It so happens that the essence has already been worked out, and the text has been written (if, for example, we are talking about some kind of work of art), but the name somehow does not come to mind. We have to contrive so that it is not only invented, but also more accurately conveys the essence.

Instructions

The more difficult it is to come up with a name for the group. Such, most likely, is on Vkontakte or in other similar networks. Therefore, the name should perform several functions at once: to attract the attention of the target audience - those people who should join the group; do not scare them away; convey the concept of the group as accurately as possible, that is: what it is dedicated to, who it is intended for, what goals, and so on. The name should be as beautiful as possible, since we are talking about girls.

Of course, all these factors are very difficult to take into account, all this is very difficult to express in one word, one phrase, one sentence. Although it often happens that the name of a group occupies several lines in a row, usually the name corresponds to a concise form: this way it is easier to perceive. Therefore, when choosing, start from this. It is difficult to give examples without knowing the specifics of the group.

You can arrange a survey in the group itself, as long as there are only your acquaintances or friends in it, while the promotion of the group itself (if you need this promotion at all) has not yet begun. Ask what name they would prefer to give the group? You can make up possible names in advance and invite your friends to choose the best one, thereby forcing them to enter into a discussion. The collective mind always solves problems faster.

It is necessary to choose a general "tone" of the title. Nowadays, "glamorous" names are very common, since glamor itself is in fashion. Whether you need it or not is your choice. If the group would fit that name, wouldn't it? But if you intend to discuss serious things, and name the group in the tradition of glamor, then you simply will not be understood. If you want to be serious, be so. And you can have fun not only "glamorous".

Show your personality in the name of the group. There is no need for tracing paper from the names of strangers. However, do not bend the stick so that it looks like you are "showing off". Everything should be in moderation. Reflect the essence of your group clearly, in a fun way so that there is nothing. Stick to the theme you choose. You do not need to "spread your thoughts along the tree" and push into the name all those micro themes that you discuss with your girlfriends. Pick one and let all the other topics of conversation be woven into that one.

• what is the name of the group

Choosing a name for a musical group is usually the responsibility of the author and leader. Usually the name comes by itself, since the author presents in advance the direction of the repertoire and the images of the performers. But in some cases, the search for a sonorous short name is delayed and takes a significant amount of time.

Instructions

If you are the author and have not yet found the full composition, find the title by this principle. Write down all the requirements for the repertoire of the future group: style, complexity, genre, number and gender of performers, timbres, etc. Write each characteristic on a new line. Just in case, write down the translations of these characteristics into other languages ​​known to you next to it: French, Spanish, Latin.

On another sheet, write down in the same column the requirements for the subject matter of the texts, philosophy, and in general everything that you will express in the project through the word. Next write similar translations into other languages.

Cut the sheets into posts. Combine words from all three sheets with each other. If necessary, change the form of the word, make nouns adjectives, and vice versa. Use words from different sources to get the best sound.

Eliminate lists and columns one at a time, leaving only two words. The procedure takes a long time, but be sure: among this huge variety of combinations, there is sure to be a name that you will like.

If you have already typed, then as the name you can use the sum of dates, the first or last names or surnames, elements of the names of hometowns. Write down all the common features in several columns according to the first principle and combine them until you find a name that suits you completely. As in the previous method, use the same names on different ones to increase the number of options and expand the selection.

In any case, before making a final decision, come up with titles that you like equally or just might work. Then gradually weed out unnecessary options until there is only one name left.

The title of any project, be it a computer company, a symphony orchestra, or a musical ensemble, must meet a number of requirements. First, it should be short and consist of one to three words for the convenience of announcing oneself on stage or for everyday use. At the same time, it should be capacious and reflect the goals and worldview of the entire group. It is important to consider a number of other factors when naming a dance group.

Instructions

Decide on the direction that you are performing. Highlight three to five main words that characterize all of its direction. In addition to, in fact, the direction of dancing, it can be other details: to certain cinema and, philosophy, religion, place or event. You can also use a common hobby, for example, sports, reenactment fights, or something else.

Under each category, write down a few words that describe the behavior of each member of the group and the entire group as a whole. At this stage, do not limit yourself, write down everything that you remember. Let it be a kind of brainstorming session. You can choose on your own or together with all the participants.

From the list, cross out one by one all the words that you do not and do not correspond to the general mood of the group. It is better to cut off the words into several "": first half, then a quarter, and then one at a time. Listen to the opinions of the participants who choose the name with you. Don't insist on an option that most people don't like.

Leave one to three words out of the variety. Make a phrase out of them in accordance with the logic of the language, but leave out some paradox or element of humor. Use words that are easy to pronounce. Fans will remember these phrases more easily.

For any object, phenomenon and process, the phrase "Met by clothes" is applicable. Of course, the content is most important, but it is the form that determines how others will be tuned in to perceive this content, with what feeling they will prepare to get acquainted with it. Therefore, if you want the audience to initially react with interest to the performance of your show ballet, you should think about a suitable name.

Instructions

Avoid difficult or difficult word constructions. They get attention, but. This is a good way to get you interested, but it only works if you don't plan on continuing. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to earn recognition, and every time people hear the name of your show, they will rather perceive you as a new group that has never appeared before their eyes.

Do not use allegories with already existing group names, even if they have already achieved fame and recognition. Self-reliance is perceived with great respect and understanding by the audience, while trying to distinguish yourself with a familiar sounding name on a subconscious level repulses and causes contempt, making you doubt your competence.

Reflect the essence of your show ballet by choosing a title. Which ones do you prefer to perform? Fast and sharp? Then it is better to find a name consisting of short words, with a prevalence of sharp and fast sounds. If you rather give credit to slow rhythms, then the name should not contain a large number of hard consonants and abrupt syllables. Think about a name that would consist of one or two relatively long, flowing, soft-sounding words.

Try to come up with a Russian-language version of the name, which, if necessary, can be easily translated into any foreign language. You should not resort to lexical games if you plan to achieve success not only in your country, but also abroad, otherwise it will be difficult for you to explain to people of other cultures what you mean.

Opening a dance school is the most affordable way to start your own business with a minimum start-up capital. The profitability of a school or studio (on average in our country) is 40% at the beginning and more than 50% after a year of operation. The initial investment is approximately $ 500, excluding the purchase of your own premises.

A dance school as a business pays off in one and a half to two years. Before opening, it is important to collect information about competitors, popular dance directions, "density" of studios in city districts. It is recommended that you draw up a business plan, and, of course, collect a complete package of all necessary documents.

How to open a dance school: documentation

So, in order to become the owner of a dance studio, we need to draw up a training program, overcome all instances, recruit interested students. But first, you need to prepare the appropriate documentation:

• documents on rent or purchase of premises;
• permission of the controlling authorities;
• checking account;
• documents from the tax office.

Determining the format and direction

You don't need to be a dancer to open a dance school: it is important to find the right economic approach to solving the problem. First you need to decide which direction the studio will follow. "Exclusive" schools are gaining popularity, where they teach only one type: salsa or go-go, Arabic or Japanese dances, erotic or folk. In such institutions, the price of one lesson ranges from 300-600 rubles. Fewer students can be enrolled (correspondingly, fewer teachers).

Classical dance lessons are half the price, so the entrepreneur must take care of the maximum occupancy of the institution. An exclusive school, with its narrower but more affluent segment, will require better equipped premises, adequate equipment, and a stable teaching staff with high qualifications and widespread popularity.

In addition, the owner will have to hold permanent open events: representatives of the business class (even the business elite) prefer to attend exclusive schools, and these are people who need fame. You can open a dance school of the usual type in an inexpensive room adapted for such activities, and at first you can do with a simple tape recorder.

Choosing a room

Exclusive schools are aimed at regular clients, for whom dancing is one of the components of their image and lifestyle. Selecting the audience for such students should be very careful. The most suitable option would be a spacious hall in a fitness club or business center, which already has excellent wooden floors, powerful ventilation, large mirrors, and comfortable changing rooms. It is even better if the building is built and designed specifically for dance classes, but not all aspiring entrepreneurs can immediately afford the costs.

The exclusive school is attended by active people, for whom comfort and prestige are the most important components of life. A simpler room will suit those children or adults who learned about the school from advertising and came to classes by chance, so to speak, for exploration. But in either case, the classes or halls in which dancing is taught must comply with all sanitary standards and requirements.

Requirements for premises

The studio must have the following premises:

• dance floor - about 80 m;
• dressing room and shower room - 15 m each;
• hall and rest room - 20 m each.

Starting a business in the city center is expensive and not always profitable: there are usually many such establishments in such places. If you try and find a room in a residential area, then you can avoid competition and expand the circle of students by:

• housewives who are not averse to learning the technique of oriental dance;
• older people, among whom the hobby for classical dancing is becoming more and more fashionable;
• teenagers who want to learn to dance club.

If the goal of the school is to educate children, you should think about a room in which the parents will wait for the little dancers. It is possible to install vending machines with hot coffee, drinks, light snacks in vacuum packaging. Yes, this is another item of expenses, but the profit will be considerable. Especially when you consider that most children come to classes right after school, not having time to dine.

Equipment

Regardless of the dance direction, the studio needs musical equipment. It should create a "live" musical picture, but at the same time take up a minimum of space. Novice businessmen can purchase a small mixing console or computer, two subwoofers, and several satellites. Install sound equipment where it will not interfere with the dancers.

Before opening a dance school, you need to think about the lighting. It should not blind the eyes, but the twilight will not contribute to creating a comfortable environment.

If the halls are supposed to be used not only for classes, but also for holding demonstrations or other events, the sets of light / sound equipment should be different. You will need to correctly distribute the sound throughout the hall and stage, think over competent lighting, etc. Usually, ready-made sets of equipment are purchased for concert halls in specialized stores.

In addition, when teaching go-go, ballet movements or sports dances, machines and poles will be required.

Staff recruitment

How to open a dance school? How do you make it successful? Of course, choose the “right” trainers and teachers. Stable staff is the key to success. It is no secret that many people prefer to choose not the school premises, but the teacher. A dance teacher, of course, must be a professional.
