OUR CLASSES We believe that your child's happiness and their physical and emotional wellbeing should be considered above all else and we know that ‘glitzy costumes and tricks’ will never be as important as your child’s wellbeing, so rest assured that they (and their feet!) will be safe in our hands…!
Classes for 3-5 years
Mini Movers & Tiny Dancers
The very first steps in your little one’s dancing journey and in both classes we incorporate a wonderfully new and refreshing syllabus; ‘Groove Child’ which embraces a child’s need to learn through play which helps them unleash their creative expression whilst nurturing their wellbeing.
Classes for 5 years and up
R.A.D. Ballet
Grades: Pre-Primary, Primary, Grade 1 to Grade 8
We strongly believe that classical ballet is the foundation for all other genres of dance and this is why we teach the Royal Academy of Dance ballet syllabus from Pre-Primary right through to Grade 8.
Dame Darcey Bussell is a former principal of the Royal Ballet and has been the president of the Royal Academy since 2012 and ALL certificates awarded carry her signature, which validates its level of achievement.
It is a lovely ballet syllabus that focuses on technique, it is lovely to teach and it is accompanied by some truly wonderful music too.
BTDA Modern Jazz & BTDA Tap
Grades: Preparatory, Primary, Grade 1 to Grade 5
Modern Jazz is very popular and it has its emphasis on energetic movement, self-expression and response to rhythm and requires as athleticism and high levels of co-ordination and stamina.
Tap is another very popular form of dance and it is ideal for developing rhythm and timing in all ages. Tap dancing focuses on developing strength in the feet, ankles and thighs and is also good for improving balance.
Vocational Exams: Intermediate and Advance Foundation. We cover both of these subjects in all our Thursday Grade Classes with all our 5’s and over.
Beginners and Advanced Pointe Class & P.B.T.
Getting into pointe shoes and getting up in them, is a major goal in a ballerina’s dance life.
We hold an open class for our Grade Three R.A.D. students, and it focuses on ankle strengthening, core strength and balance. The class incorporates P.B.T (Progressive Ballet Technique) and uses resistance bands and exercise balls to assist building up strong technique.
Acrobatics & Tumbling
Commonly referred to as Acro, these classes are a type of gymnastics but more of a beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements.
Acro includes balancing, limbering and partnering based on flexibility, contortion and strength and we are very fortunate to have not one but two Tumble Tracks that can also be fixed together to maximise tumbling space to enable our students to gain greater distance and height.
Street Dance & StreetBoyz
Extremely popular classes that are high energy and stylised, these urban style classes are designed to develop co-ordination, introduce technique and build confidence in a relaxed friendly and fun environment.
Students learn street dance routines to the latest tracks, incorporating popping, locking, funk, jamming and hip hop.
Musical Theatre
The complete 'Triple Threat' This class offers the chance to enjoy music, dance and drama with the focus being on fun for all.
Drama games, improvisation, expressive animation, singing, acting, monologues, plays, musicals and so much more!
Adult Tap
Whether you're brand new to tap or dusting off your shoes after a break, this class is perfect for all levels. You'll learn rhythm, timing, and classic tap steps in a relaxed and supportive environment. It's a fun way to keep fit, boost coordination, and share plenty of laughs with a welcoming group of like-minded people.
