Classes

At our school pupils have the opportunity to study tap, ballet and freestyle/theatrecraft.

TAP

Tap is a rhythmical and dynamic dance style. Traditional tap shows such as 42nd Street and Crazy For You through to the more recent Stomp and Tap Dogs all highlight the great diversity of style and music used in tap dancing.

BALLET

Ballet is a classical style of dance which dates back to the 17th century. The conventional steps, grace and fluidity of movement still form the foundation of ballet today.

 

 

FREESTYLE

Freestyle is a modern, expressive and varied dance style which has become extremely popular in the UK today. It involves runs, spins, kicks and leaps, as well as many other diverse steps and movements with lots of arm and hand actions.

The music can be fast and rhythmic or slow, sensuous and lyrical allowing dancers of all ages to use freedom of expression to enhance their style.

 

THEATRE CRAFT

Theatre craft teaches general movement to music and stage performance. Essential elements – kicks, turns, and rhythmic awareness – are all explored, whilst props and accessories may be used to assist the styles.

Our sessions are divided into three half hour slots to cover these core styles.

Most pupils do all three styles but pupils are welcome to choose a single style, two styles or all three styles. Our very young dancers often start with one subject and stay for 30 mins only.
