Below
is a list of the classes we offer and a
brief description of what the class is,
if you have any queries please do not hesitate
to ask us.
BALLET
Ballet is the key discipline for
dance which teaches a solid technique as
well as poise, grace, musicality, correct
posture, balance and strength. We teach
the ISTD Imperial Classical Ballet Syllabus
which has been carefully developed in order
to provide a fully comprehensive training
to children and young adults.
MODERN
Modern
dance is a fun and popular class, which
encourages co-ordination, balance, strength
and flexibility. Modern incorporates many
different styles of music, and teaches students
about different rhythms. Young people are
trained to become disciplined and versatile
dancers. ISTD Modern Theatre Dance is a
dance style with the ability to adapt, develop
and evolve with the changing fashion in
dance and is often seen performed in the
West End musicals.
TAP
Apart from being an essential skill for
the professional dancer, tap dance is one
of the most enjoyable and rhythmic forms
of recreational dance. From funky tap to
the more traditional ‘Top hat and
tails’ style, we’re sure there
will be something here to suit you! We follow
the ISTD Tap dance syllabus, which is currently
being re-vamped and modernised. As well
as the structured syllabus, we will introduce
the pupils to free tap work.
JAZZ
Jazz classes will follow the ISTD Jazz medal
awards, as well as some non-syllabus work
where students are encouraged to increase
their flexibility and strength. We focus
on developing the key Jazz movements as
well as teaching modern and funky routines.
This class encourages performance skills
and gives dancers an opportunity to let
go and to express themselves. This is a
fun and energetic class.
SINGING
Our singing lessons can be tailored to any
specific requirements (for example Musical
Theatre, Audition Work, etc . .).
PRE-SCHOOL
CLASSES
We offer fun pre-school classes from walking
age up to school age. Come along and learn
how to move and dance in a fun and friendly
environment. This is an introduction to
the world of dance where toddlers can develop
the skills of co-ordination, musicality
and balance, as well as enjoying time with
other children.
ADULT
DANCE
Our adult classes are fun and social and
open to all ages and abilities. Don’t
fancy the gym? Then come along to a fun
and energetic class. Learn to tap, do some
funky modern routines or even some ballet
– it’s never too late to give
it a go!
PRIVATE
TUITION
For
those students keen to participate in competitive
dance festivals, you will require private
tuition. This is an opportunity for us to
work with you one-to-one and really focus
on improving technique and performance to
prepare for competition work. One-to-one
tuition is also available for helping with
basic dance technique if you feel your child
would benefit.
