dance genres
Tap
A rhythmical, fun, dynamic style of dance that develops musicality, precision, a sense of performance, and so much more. Tap dance is available for students in Year 2 and above, and we proudly follow the ISTD syllabus. As the students progress through the grades, the content becomes increasingly complex and fast-paced.
Ballet
A wonderful genre for building strength, stamina, poise, flexibility, balance, coordination, artistry, musicality and more. Ballet benefits other dance styles beautifully and is fantastic for improving all-round performance (so much so, footballers and rugby players are taking it up!). We proudly follow the ISTD syllabus.
Contemporary
For contemporary, we follow the Rambert Grades, allowing the students freedom of expression, space for creativity and developing essential technique. The students will enjoy guided improvisation and exercises/ dances that build throughout the term. They will benefit from the freedom to explore, create, express and discover. Classes based around year group.
Jazz
These are non-syllabus classes focused around developing strong technique, conditioning, nurturing physical and mental well-being and making new connections. The students work on fun routines that build throughout the term. For existing students seeking extra training and also suitable for those new to dance. For students aged 6 - teens.
Musical Theatre
These classes are perfect for those who like to sing, dance and act. The students will develop their voices, and learn routines that combine song and dance. These will be pieces from the West End, and also the teacher’s own arrangement/ choreography. Many students take ballet, modern and musical theatre on Saturdays, as a package.
