Ballet

Ballet is great for developing style, grace, good posture and strength. We recommend that students new to dance consider ballet as it underpins other styles of dance by teaching technique, self-discipline and pride in appearance. For a young child ballet is an ideal first choice as it helps with concentration and posture, making it easier to pick up other forms of dance whilst strengthening muscles.

Tap

Tap is a good choice for all age groups. Young children enjoy being able to dance and make noise at the same time and more advanced students aim to achieve technically complex steps. Tap promotes a sense of rhythm, strengthening and loosening the foot, ankle and leg muscles. Students develop a repertoire of technical elements, rhythmic footwork and creative combinations.

Modern & Jazz

Modern & Jazz dance is fun. In these classes you will learn to develop many different movements reaching to a broad choice of varying rhythms and musical styles. We prepare students for the physical strength and flexibility required to demonstrate emotion through interpretation of any musical genre.

Street

Street dance is a popular form of physical exercise and an art form in its own right. Classes begin with a warm up, with work on steps such as turns, spins, kicks and leaps. Street dance is a very popular dance choice for young people and it helps develop rhythm, coordination, self-expression, stamina, strength and flexibility.

Musical Theatre

Musical Theatre combines music, songs, spoken dialogue, acting and dance. We offer a fun, accessible and engaging bbodance syllabus which prepares students for progression into vocational training in Musical Theatre. The syllabus develops technical skills, performance awareness and artistic style in dance as well as introducing speech and singing skills to students.

Acro Dance

Acro Dance is the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Acro Dance includes balancing, limbering, tumbling and partnering, based on flexibility, contortion and strength. It's perfect class for giving our students skills and knowledge of how to perform Acrobatics safely.

Tiny Feet Ballet and Tap (Age 2 - 4 years)

With Tiny Feet Ballet and Tap, our classes contain a 30 minute ballet and a 30 minute tap lesson. Young dancers are introduced to the fundamentals of dance and explore movement and creativity within a positive environment. Dancers will learn basic steps and terminology in both tap and ballet. For example, all dancers will learn what a 'plie' is and how to demonstrate one. The use of fun, age appropriate music engages young dancers' minds and bodies. The use of props such as scarfs and teddies make the class the most fun! The dancers also work towards taking their first bbodance examinations.

We then move onto limbering, which focuses on the child’s strength, flexibility and suppleness. Your child will begin to learn 'tricks' such as forward rolls, handstands, bridge and move onto splits and cartwheels. It's great fun!
