Jazz
Jazz Dance incorporates a broad range of dance styles. It focuses on strong technique training through body isolations, kicks, turns, leaps and jumps. It is a fast paced, fun and challenging style!
Tap
Tap is one of the coolest dance styles! This dance style incorporates dance, music, performance and your feet actually become a percussive instrument. Tap is the perfect class to start getting into dance with. This is partly because, tap has such a strong emphasis on patterns, rhythm, coordination, and footwork that you do not need to be intimidated by having to leap and turn across the floor, or even look particularly graceful. It is a great confidence builder.
Hip Hop
Fast becoming our most popular dance class, hip hop combines popular music, with upbeat and fast paced movement. Our hip hop classes incorporate a large range of styles within the hip hop genre.
Lyrical
Lyrical is a combination of Ballet and Contemporary. It combines fluid, soft movement with sharp contrasts to compliment the music. Lyrical is choreographed to emotionally charged and inspirational songs to which the dancers are encouraged to embody the character and express the emotion of the music.
Contemporary
Contemporary dance is extremely popular with all ages as it is a free flowing, expressive dance style incorporating fall and recovery, contract and release, acrobatic like movement, and elements of ballet technique.
