Our Senior students train in a variety of dance genres including Ballet & Pointe, Tap, Jazz, and Acro.  Body conditioning is also part of the training along with Kicks, Leaps & Turns.  

Students can also attend Commercial Street & Contemporary to enchance their training.

 

Ballet - A repetoire of steps is built upon in Ballet classes, using the French terminology and learning how to execute technical ballet steps.  Repetoire is taught to inspire and learn about professional ballets and to develop performance and character skills.  Children further dvelop their pointe work.  Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is used as part of the weekly ballet class to build strength and correct alignment and technique. 

 

Tap - Clarity of beats and rhythm is further developed in weekly Tap classes.

 

Jazz Technique - Children continue to master techniques such as pirouettes, kicks, leaps and turns.  Choreography is taugh to enable children to pick up routines quickly and develop further performance skills.

 

Acro - More advanced Acro and tumbling tricks are taught to challenge the children further and build on their strength, balance and flexibiity skills.

 

Contemporary & Lyrical - Contemporary & lyrical dance are expressive styles of dance that helps the students to connect emotions with dance steps, resulting in a more connected and emotional performance.  Both are important dance styles in today's professional industry.

 

Children have the opportunity to take ISTD exams in Imperial Ballet and Tap.
