Ballet is a beautiful, traditional and highly technical dance form. Ballet classes are structured using the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus to ensure students gain all the skills suggested for each grade. Ballet promotes flexibility, strength and gain musicality through dancing to classical music. Ballet is the foundation of all other dance styles and ballet is encouraged for all students in conjunction with their other dance classes to improve their dance abilities.

Once students have learnt ballet basics they are invited to pre pointe class where we focus intensively on strengthening ballet technique ready for pointe work. Major students also attend this class for additional fitness and strengthening.

Contemporary dance is of the now, it pushes past traditional and structured dance and is more free. Students do learn steps and techniques but these allow us to move; travel; jump; spin; fall and get up with dexterity and strength. There are many avenues to explore in contemporary, and this dance genre may be inspired by ballet, hip hop, jazz… Dancers will gain strength, coordination, fitness and flexibility.

These Musical Theatre classes focus on tap and jazz techniques. We also have a selection of tap shoes to hire if your child would like to try before they buy!

Dance Style is a dance class combining different genres of dance. We learn Lyrical, Contemporary & Jazz creating a  fluid and dynamic style that follows the music & lyrics being danced to and is emotionally expressive. We use ballet as a stepping stone for this class but we use it more expressively and free form. This class would suit students who have done ballet or contemporary or jazz before and are looking for a class that combines styles! (But we will also accept beginners)

A street style of dance which has been fused with commercial jazz styles and even contemporary. It can range from a funky street style with loads of attitude and groove to a more lyrical contemporary style.

This fun and energetic class starts with a warm up to get the muscles ready for the flexibility and strengthening moves that help with balance, stability and coordination. Students will learn basic Acro skills such as cobras, backbends, headstands, handstands, cartwheels, pike rolls, round offs and front kick overs, and then combine these with jazz progressions that include kicks, leaps and jumps to form a jazz dance sequence each week. We finish the class with a gentle cool-down stretch. 

LEVEL 3 Students build on their Acro skills, moving into one-handed tricks, walk-overs and partner/group work. They learn more advanced jazz turns, kicks and leaps as well as fun and funky sequences.

All students need to start at Level 1 and are assessed on ability as to which class they will be in. Approximate ages are 7-9 Level 1& 2, 10+ level 3.

K-Pop, or Korean Pop, is a Korean music genre that draws on a wide range of popular music styles. However, one of the key things that sets K-Pop apart from other music styles is the focus on choreography. In most K-Pop videos, you'll see the artists dancing in sync — often doing very complicated and precise moves. Emily is passionate about K Pop!

We may be running K -Pop classes next year, you can watch it at our concert!
