GENERAL CLASSES

General classes are held during the week in jazz, tap, ballet, lyrical/contemporary, hip hop and musical theatre. These classes provide an opportunity to learn new routines with an emphasis on developing technique. These classes are ideal for beginner students who want to strengthen their technique and develop their self-confidence before facing the challenge of exams.

EXAMS

Examinations are conducted in jazz, tap, ballet and hip hop in the BDA (British Dancing Association) syllabus once a year. Exams are optional, with successful students receiving a medal and certificate before advancing to the next grade. Training for exams strengthens technique and encourages dedication and self discipline. 

BOOGIE WITH MY BABY

A great opportunity for you and your toddler to spend time together, moving to the music and introducing rhythm and co-ordination. By dancing together, you can be by your little one’s side the whole way through, learning lots and having fun. A great introduction to dance, before starting independent classes.

TINY DANCERS

Tiny Dancers classes are aimed at toddlers who are not starting school next year. A combination of both jazz and ballet, these classes help to develop co-ordination and rhythm using fun exercises and simple combinations. The classes run for half an hour
and introduce the basics of ballet as well as encouraging the imagination through creative role play.

TINY TRIPLE THREAT

A modified version of KinderDance for the little dancers who are on their way to mastering skills in jazz, tap and ballet before starting school.

KINDERDANCE

A fun fusion of jazz, tap and ballet, KinderDance is especially designed for students in their first year of school. An extension of TTT classes, KinderDance is the perfect class for those young dancers who can’t decide which style of dance they like best or are not
ready for full length classes.

 JAZZ

Jazz focuses on technique and deportment as well as learning choreographic skills. Students are taught a wide range of combinations and routines, as well as exercises to improve posture and develop and maintain co-ordination. Classes in jazz offer opportunities for participation in eisteddfods and exams.

TAP

With an emphasis on  co-ordination, tap classes are the ideal way to make lots of noise and have fun! Basic skills are taught in TTT and KinderDance and developed in beginner classes, which
allow for more complicated routines to be mastered in advanced years.

BALLET

Classical ballet is the perfect opportunity to develop and strengthen posture, technique and deportment. Highly recommended in senior years, training in classical ballet provides a foundation for other forms of dance.

LYRICAL

Borrowing from both jazz and classical ballet structures, lyrical classes offer a unique interpretation of dance, reflecting classical technique with a focus on contemporary style. Lyrical is a less structured form of dance, relying on creativity and inspiration.

HIP HOP

One of the most popular classes, hip hop allows the student to unleash the performer within. Using a variety of the most modern and innovative moves, students will learn exciting new combinations and routines. It is recommended that students have had a basic training in jazz before discovering the excitement of hip hop.
