Mini Movers
These classes are aimed for children 2 years and above. They are creative classes that allow the children to develop their basic motor skills. Children will be able to use props such as hoops, wands, ribbons and parachutes to encourage their creative exploration and express their ideas. Students will be taken on imaginative journeys to the seaside, the jungle and other fun adventures throughout their classes. These classes allow children to develop confidence, mobility, speech, memory and rhythm in progression towards the dance syllabus we offer.

Ballet
Ballet is the foundation of all dance styles and has been constantly evolving for over 400 years. It is very technical and helps to improve your core stability, strength and flexibility, all of which are needed to be a successful dancer. It is now an extremely popular dance style with its own vocabulary based on French terminology.

Tap
Evolving from African folk dance, tap dance requires the dancer to wear shoes with small metal plates on the ball of the foot and the heel to give distinct sounds. The foot then strikes the floor to make different sounds, whether it be quiet, loud, high or low pitched. There are several types of tap, from traditional tap that we see in a lot of musical shows, to the popular growing American hoofer style tapping, which is more focused on rhythms.

Modern
Modern dance is a rhythmic dance form and takes elements from lots of different styles. This is a high energy dance style which has big movements such as kicks, turns and leaps. These all develop a student's strength, flexibility and power.

Commercial
Commercial dance is an ever-growing trend due to television programmes and music videos. This is the type of dance we often see when watching The X Factor, or when watching a pop or R&B artist in concert. Commercial takes elements of genres such as jazz, street, hip-hop and breakdancing and combines them into one. We see lots of this style now on social media, as it has become a trend to upload commercial dance videos onto media platforms.

Acro
Our acrobatics dance class blends the strength and flexibility of acrobatics with the grace and technique of dance. Dancers develop balance, coordination, control and confidence while learning skills such as cartwheels, walkovers, balances and tumbling elements. Emphasis is placed on proper technique, safe progressions, and seamless transitions that make tricks look fluid and performance-ready.
