In addition to performing, students enrolled in this class will also learn the history of Musical Theatre in order to gain a better understanding and appreciation of this art form

Modern Theatre Dance

Modern Theatre Dance defies a single permanent definition. this is largely due to its ability to adapt, develop and evolve with the changing fashion in dance. Through a crefully planned and well-tried examination syllabus, which combines modern dance, jazz and other dance styles, young people are trained to become disciplined and versatile dancers who have a professional atrtitude towards dance.

 

Tap Dance

Apart from being an essential skill for the professional dancer, tap dance is one of the most enjoyable and rhythmic forms of recreational dance.

Jazz Dance

This class is an upbeat, fast paced class done to popular music with a good beat.

Jazz is a great discipline to take on its own or as a compliment to Ballet, Musical Theatre or Acro.

 

Acro Dance

This exciting discipline is proving to attract young dancers and non-dancers alike. Acro improves and increases flexibility, is fast and furious or calm and calculated.

Our first class Tutor makes Acro FUN. What more do kids want than safe tumbling and turnovers to their kind of music?
