Baby Ballet
Available for children aged 2+ Baby Ballet introduces young dancers to the techniques and disciplines of ballet in a fun and engaging environment. Students improve balance, coordination and motor control whilst learning classical ballet positions and exploring characterisation and performance.
Ballet
Ballet is one of the most popular dance genres as it is one of the most challenging and rewarding. It is often considered the foundation from which all dance should be built, and as so it is encouraged that all our students take at least one ballet class a week no matter what their speciality. Ballet is used by professional sportsmen to aid flexibility and muscle development as well as being a daily routine for budding dancers and performers. Grades can be taken from Preparatory until Advanced level.
Prep Tap
Tap dance is a style made famous by stars of the 1930’s and 40’s- most notably Fred Astaire. The use of shoes as percussion makes tap one of the most widely recognisable and exciting dance forms. In more recent times groups such as Tap Dogs, TapAttack and Syncopated Ladies (amongst others) have given tap a more contemporary and commercial feel. Our Tap classes are available from aged 4.5-adult.
