Woking Lessons (Lindsey Hillier's Studio)

Studio address: The Grange, Mile Path, Hook Heath, Woking, Surrey, GU22 0JX.

  • Travelling by road: Aim for the orbital road round London, the M25. Exit the M25 at Junction 11, and take the A320 towards Woking. Hook Heath is just south-west of Woking. Lindsey¡¯s house is at the Pond Road end of Mile Path (see Figure 2).
  • Travelling by train from London: Take a South West Trains Ltd train from London (Waterloo Station) direct to Woking. These are supposed to leave every 5-15 minutes (maybe not so frequently on a Sunday?) and the journey takes approximately 30 minutes.
  • Travelling by train from Norbury: Take a Connex Rail train from Norbury to Clapham Junction, and then change to South West Trains Ltd. for a direct train to Woking. The total journey time should be approximately 50 minutes.

Some students have been known to walk from the station to the studio, but it may be easier (certainly on a first visit) to take a taxi. Woking Taxis (01483 740888/773000) operate from Woking Station.

Farnborough Lessons (Colin & Jacqui Donaldson's Studio)

Studio address: The Diamond Dance Centre, 9 Queen's Road, Farnborough, Hampshire, GU14 5DJ.

  • Travelling by road: Aim for the orbital road round London, the M25. Exit the M25 at Junction 12, and take the M3 westbound. Exit at Junction 4 for Farnborough.
  • Travelling by train from London: Take a train from London (Waterloo Station) direct to Farnborough Main railway station. The journey takes approximately 40 minutes.
  • Travelling by train from Norbury: Take a Connex Rail train from Norbury to Clapham Junction, and then change to South West Trains Ltd for a direct train to Farnborough Main railway station. The total journey time should be approximately 1 hour.
  • Travelling by train from Guildford or Woking: Railtrack services run to North Camp Station (NB this is not the same as Farnborough North Station). Travelling time from Guildford should be 13 minutes, and from Woking 27 minutes.

Interview with Hawkins & Newberry

 

1) When did you start competing and were you successful immediately?

 

Christopher first danced at the age of 9, and Hazel at the age of 6. Although Hazel started dancing at an earlier age than Christopher, she did not compete in Ballroom and Latin until she was an Amateur. Christopher, on the other hand, started competing on the Open Circuit at the age of 11½ years. He only competed for 6 months in the Under-12, or Juvenile, age group. During that time, he achieved 4th place in the International (Ballroom) Championship. As a Junior (12 - 16 years), he and two successive partners danced as the British Number One Ballroom Couple. He also achieved 2nd place in the Open British and the International Championships.
It was when we teamed up in 1992, that success really began to beckon for both of us. We had been dancing together for only three months when we won the Open British Youth Modern Championship (16
- 21 years age-group), and reached the Semi-Final of the Open British Amateur Modern Championship. Five months later, and we were into our first Major Championship Final - the 1992 International Championship. Although we started out dancing both Ballroom and Latin American styles, it soon became clear that Ballroom (Standard) was really our particular competitive forté and we decided to specialise in this branch. We won our first Major title - Open British Amateur Modern Champions - in 1996, and then went on to win all the Major Amateur Modern titles at least once, including the UK, European, the International, Open German and Open British Championships. We were Gold Medallists at the 1997 World Games, and went on to win the World Amateur Modern Championship later that year. We turned Professional at the end of 1997.

 

2) Can you explain what dancing in the United Kingdom is like? In Holland we have hundreds of Dance Schools where students come to learn social dancing. When they are good they can go competing after about three or four years of social dancing courses. Is this the same in England?

We have four main groups of dancers in the UK. There are strictly social dancers who participate mostly for recreation and fun. There are medallist dancers who are graded according to their level of proficiency. They progress towards mastery of successively more sophisticated dance figures by following syllabuses, and passing practical examinations, set by societies like the International Society of Teachers of Dance (ISTD) or the International Dance Teachers¡¯ Association (IDTA). Some of these medallist dancers also compete in ¡®Medallist Competitions¡¯. This allows them to dance against others who have achieved the same proficiency level, and who will therefore only be using the same dance figures as themselves. Dancing has also become very popular at universities in the UK, many of which have their own dance clubs and teams of dancers who compete regularly in Inter-Varsity Competitions. Finally, we have the ¡®Open Circuit¡¯ for couples who wish to take the competitive aspect even more seriously. There are many different grades of competitors, divided according to their age and standard of dancing. For some, the Open Circuit provides recreation and fun, with the added excitement of competition. At the other extreme, many dancers on the Open Circuit clearly take the challenge more seriously, and compete for the opportunity to represent their country in international events.


3) Can you tell us if there is a difference between Amateur Dancing and Professional Dancing?

This is quite a difficult question for us because we do not think that there is a simple answer. In the United Kingdom, a distinction does exist between a dancer who is called ¡®Amateur¡¯ and one who is called ¡®Professional¡¯. We realise, however, that this is not a universal distinction, common to all countries. In the UK, people have tended to think of a progression through Amateur dance training, culminating in the acquisition of Professional status (along with teaching qualifications). Of course, dance training and development do not stop when a dancer turns Professional! So we would argue that there is no real distinction between Amateur and Professional Dancing - the goals of both are to achieve the best possible dance performance (in the broadest sense) that the particular dancer is capable of at the time. Going back to the Latin roots of the two terms, we find that Amateurs, more than Professionals, are supposed to dance simply ¡®for the love of it¡¯ (amare/amator). However, this does not really hold up as a distinction. We would not want to suggest, for example, that love of dance evaporates overnight upon becoming a Professional!! If there is a more general distinction to be drawn, we feel that it has more to do with the dancer¡¯s objectives. To us, ¡®Professional¡¯ implies a career dancer. ¡®Amateurs¡¯, on the other hand, include those who may, as well as those who may not, have career aspirations in the Dance World.


4) What do you think about the Italian style of dancing?

We do not really believe that there is a ¡®National¡¯ style of dancing. There are only ever individual couples in dancing. It is exciting to see, however, so many new countries joining the International Dance Scene, and so many talented couples emerging from all over the World. This can only be good for the future of Dance.


5) Can you explain what your dance style is like?

We do not think that it is really for us to say what our ¡®style¡¯ of dancing is. We hope that we mean different things to different people. We are certainly known for a variety of different emphases, skills or characteristics. However, to us, the most important things are that we love to dance, and we love to entertain our audiences.


6) Who are your teachers?

We are fortunate to be able to take our lessons with some of the greatest coaches in the World ? Bill and Bobbie Irvine, Peter Eggleton, Anthony Hurley, Stephen Hillier, Lindsey Hillier, Robert and Barbara Grover. They make a great team of teachers who both inspire and also encourage us to achieve our ultimate potential.


7) Which dancers do you particularly admire?

There are a number of ¡®Greats¡¯ of the Dance World whom we admire, as well as several from Stage and Screen also. It would be wrong to name one, or only a few, individuals because these ¡®Greats¡¯ all influence us in different ways ? charisma, drive, personality, technical ability, creativity, etc. Most of all, though, we love to see a truly great performer who can stir the emotions of a real audience.


8) Do you teach?

Yes, we teach a broad spectrum of students, from a wide variety of age groups and ability levels.


9) Do you have one word of advice for dancers who want to reach the top?

The best advice that we can offer is ? Work hard at your dancing, but always try to enjoy, and believe in, what you do. We believe that dancing is one of the most rewarding careers that you can have, but you must put in the hard work if you are to reap those rewards. Actually, although you asked us about couples who want to get to the top, our tip would be just as appropriate for those who do not aspire to that level, who wish rather to improve their competence as recreational or social dancers.


10) Do the two of you share a relationship besides that of a professional dancing partnership?

We are indeed a couple away from dancing as well. We became engaged in August 1999. Dancing together means that we spend nearly every moment together. We are very lucky to have found such a close friendship, because it helps us to tackle all the challenges that we face on and off the competition floor.


11) What are your latest achievements?

Being British National Professional Champions and being Finalists in all the Major International Open Professional Championships, including, the Open British, the International, the UK, and the World Championships.


12) What role do your individual strengths play in your partnership?

When we first tried out together, we both knew immediately that it would be right for us to become partners. We felt so comfortable together. Indeed, half way through our first dance-round (with no music playing), Christopher realised that he had not told Hazel what dance we were going to do. Hazel had just got on and done what she always does so well - stayed with Chris, instinctively sensing what he will do next!!

Since then, many of our approaches and attitudes to dancing have continued to develop in common. We do, of course, retain our individual characteristics, but we like to think of ourselves as a co-operative team. Within this framework, we feel that we can exploit our particular individual strengths in very positive ways.


13) Can you tell us something about your lives besides dancing?

Most of our activities are dance-related. For example, we train hard. We also take part in other sorts of dance (ballet, jazz, etc.). We have been learning languages to help our teaching and lecturing - in particular, Japanese and German. We do have other interests - for example film, some sports (including badminton) - but it is difficult to find much time for these.


14) What are your goals for the coming season?

As always, our focus is on further refining our performance skills - We hope that this will be noticeable in our competitive dancing as well as in our showdance demonstrations. We enjoy all our other professional activities - lecturing, teaching, giving seminars, adjudicating, and so on - as well as those that we think of as being more ¡®dance-related¡¯. We will be trying hard to strike the right balance between all these things. It is also important to us that we continue to promote Dance and Dancesport to the widest possible audience, including people who do not already have any involvement with the Dance World.


15) Can you describe what dancing means to you?

Dancing is our life! Cassie¡¯s words in the musical ? A Chorus Line ? sum up how we each feel: ¡®I ¡¦. I am a dancer ¡¦¡¦ That¡¯s who I am ¡¦.. That¡¯s what I do¡¯
