CLASSES
Classical Ballet
Classical Ballet is the foundation for all genres of dance.
The skills and technique developed during ballet class is really helpful for all other styles of dance. Ballet focuses on the basics of dance movement, helps build strength and flexibilty, alignment and musicality, and develops discipline and dedication.
No matter which style of dance you choose to do, ballet gives any dancer a great basis and is incorporated in every style of dance from Tap to Hip Hop.
Dancers are encouraged to take part in ballet classes as part of their dance training.
Tap
Tap dance is a great way to develop rhythm, coordination and musicality. It develops strength in the legs and feet and helps to increase flexibility in the hips, knees and ankles.
In tap dancing, your feet make the music. Complex rhythms and patterns not only sound great but gives a great workout for your brain. Repeating, reversing and counting rhythm patterns promotes healthy brain activity and helps people of all ages.
Modern Dance
Modern dance gives dancers the chance to explore their creativity through movement. We learn various styles of modern dance like jazz, contemporary and lyrical which gives dancers a chance to express themselves.
Modern also develops strength, coordination, flexibility through floor work, jumps and travelling steps and gives the dancer more freedom of movement.
Acro
Acro combines dance technique with acrobatics, flexibility, strength and balance. This helps dancer develop coordination, body control and strength whilst encouraging dancers to perform movements creatively and artistically.
Dancers learn new skills and incorporate partner lifts and tricks into their classes.
Musical Theatre
Musical theatre classes combine singing, dancing and acting to help students develop confidence and performance skills. Dancers learn songs from popular musicals, explore different characters and develop their stage presence and expression.
These classes are fun and creative whilst helping students develop their confidence and love of performing. This is great for those dancers who may want to have a career in performance.
