Lyrical Dance

Lyrical dance combines jazz and ballet techniques to create an expressive free flowing movement. A graceful way for dancers to explore many different types of emotions through dance. Grace, sophistication, strength and beauty rolled into one. Our students love lyrical dance.

Contemporary Dance

 
Contemporary dance combines elements of ballet and jazz but in a non traditional way. It encourages dancers to push the boundaries of their art form and find self -expression through story telling.

Tap Dance

ap Dance is a form of dance class characterised by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. Tap dancings helps develop musicality and rhythm. Students can participate in annual exams in which they will learn amalgamations, theory, and a tap dance. Tap dance has become more popular due to such performance companies as tap dogs. 

Stretch & Conditioning

Just like any other sport dancers need to be at their peak physical condition. We use Calisthenic Exercises to increase body strength and flexibility. Calisthenics is a natural form of exercise with simple movements using your body weight as resistance. We don’t believe in using weights because muscle mass built from using weights restricts flexibility and movement.  Stretch & Conditioning helps students to be aware of their body, create strong supple lean bodies.  This class is highly recommended to all dancers. 

Leaps & Turns 

This class focuses purely on developing the ability to master all turns from a single pirouette to a quadruple pirouette and more.  Students will learn new combinations each week comprising of both leaps and turns.  This class helps students to turn faster and produce more continuous turns, leap higher and create higher and newer limits. This class is advantageous to any students taking any of the above classes!!

Aerial Silks & Lyra

A display of strength and beauty. Aerial acrobats performed in the air on either an aerial Lyra (as pictured) or aerial silks. We offer both these apparatuses to our students. You will learn to climb, wrap, drop, balance and slide safely guided by our experienced and qualified instructors.
