Our dance studio offers a diverse Range of dance genres to choose from.
ballet
Ballet is the foundation of all dance. Students’ progress from basic, foundational technique classes and progress through each class level to build on and advance their skill.
Teaching more than just steps, Ballet is known to improve posture, core control, balance, flexibility, stamina, fitness and co-ordination. It also develops important life skills including self-discipline, learning to follow instructions, working both in a team and on your own, respect, presentation and responsibility.
These things are just as important as the steps and will benefit the dancer no matter how far they go with their dancing.
jazz
Jazz is extremely popular with all ages and uses technique from Ballet with extra movements that are sharper and straighter - turns, leaps, jumps and kicks are some common steps seen in Jazz routines. The music style is popular and up to date.
acro
Acro classes have elements of gymnastics, however, is more styled to fit into dance. Students love Acro with tumbling and tricks; there are always new things to strive to achieve. Acro classes incorporate strength, flexibility and cardio, along with developing acrobatic skills such as cartwheels and walk overs, bridges and handstands.
mix
Our Mix classes combine a variety of genres within the one class which is a great option for students who just can't decide or might struggle to get to dance numerous days for each genre. Genres that may be included in Mix classes are Ballet, Jazz, Acro and Hip Hop.
tap
Tap makes noise! This style is rhythm-based and is not as easy as most people think. Once again, students will progress through the levels, building on their technique. We begin with the foundation steps and work towards more advanced routines and steps.
Tap shares many similarities within its technique to Ballet, such as posture and control. This class will benefit students by helping to develop rhythm, co-ordination, musicality, balance and the ability to 'remember steps'.
lyrical/contemporary
Lyrical/Contemporary are styles of dance that has emerged from Ballet.
Founders of the contemporary technique, such as Martha Graham, created a form that was less controlled than classical Ballet, developing a style known for being parallel (as opposed to turned out) and incorporates floor work.
Though much of contemporary dance is opposite to Ballet, it shares many of the basic principles of Ballet technique.
