Ballet:
Our Classical Ballet classes follow the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus. An organisation recognised and revered throughout the world. Children can work their way through the syllabus grades, with the option to take an exam before moving up to the next level. Exams are not compulsory.
Acro:
Acrobatic Dance (Acro) is the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Acro technique includes balancing, limbering, tumbling, and partnering, based in flexibility, contortion and strength.
Our Acro classes follow the Acrobatic Arts syllabus, which seamlessly blends musicality, emotional expression, line and extension with acrobatic movements in a dance context. Children can work their way through the syllabus grades with the option to take an exam before moving up to the next level. Exams are not compulsory.
Modern:
Modern dance is often seen on the stages of musical productions and is known for its theatrical qualities. The style uses travelling steps, high kicks, leaps and turns which all need strength and flexibility. This is a highly energetic dance style.
Jazz:
Jazz is a theatrical style of dance often performed to well known music or songs. Jazz classes focus on the technique of Jumps, turns, kicks, isolations, and choreography. Classes generally start with a cardio warm up, followed by stretching and flexibility work, travelling movements across the floor often referred to as corner work, and culminating with a fun dance routine. Jazz is a lively and upbeat class that is hugely popular with our students.
