| Descriptions of the different classes we teach are as follows: | |
| Ballet - A class used to improve strength, stamina and ease of movement. Ballet is an essential part of all dance genres, giving the pupil an excellent foundation technique that can be developed greatly with hard work and perseverance. Ballet is a joy to watch, teach and dance and very popular with all ages. | |
| Tap - An exciting and fun class using rhythm and sound to create expressive dance routines, to lively music. Using many different styles, tap greatly improves co-ordination and sense of rhythm. | |
| Jazz - Working on technique using centre, corner and floor exercises including body toning and strengthening. The class is highly energetic and will also include west-end style routines preparing pupils for stage work. A great all-round class! | |
| Contemporary - Focuses on the principles of contraction and release, articulation of the body in space, rhythm and shape. Contemporary explores the use of energy in relation to gravity and working with the weight of the body in terms of fall, rebound, recovery and suspension. Emphasis on minimising tension in the body in the search for clarity, fluidity and efficient use of energy and breath is an integral part of contemporary dance. | |
| Street Dance - A very popular class with all ages, street dance is based on music video style routines danced to the latest Pop and R’n’B music. The style is relaxed but work on isolating different parts of the body is also done improving the pupil’s awareness of movement. This class is great for a workout, to develop your natural sense of style and have loads of fun doing it! | |
| Hip Hop - Very similar to street dance however to music used is Hip Hop and the movements are more dynamic and strong. | |
| B.Boy (Breakdance) - Breakdancing is an urban cultured form of dance that originated in New York in the late 1970s. Many of the moves originate from gymnastics and require levels or strength, flexibility and in some cases bravery. Breakdancing can be broken down into small sub divisions. Up rocking & Top rocking, foot work, power moves and freezes. Breakdancing is the ultimate dance of expression. Your moves are greatly improved with the addition of attitude, flair and finesse. Breakdancing is great fun for all ages!! |
