Ballet is the foundation of dance and teaches elegance, poise and grace. 

Ballet helps to develop core strength, flexibility and correct posture. 

Our youngest Ballerinas love to dance around like fairies and Toy soldiers and learn about famous ballet dancers like Margot Fonteyn and Darcey Bussell. 

For our older dancers they are developing their ballet technique to become more mature and expressive ballerinas, through more complex understanding of steps and enchainments. 

​

We also have two Adult ballet classes suitable for all abilities. 

Tap is a fun and energetic form of dance in which we get to create percussive rhythmical patterns with our feet. 

Tap is my passion and I hope to pass this on to all my students, big and small. Our little tappers love to stamp around in their tap shoes and make lots of noise and our older tappers love to be challenged with complex steps and rhythms. 

Our Adult Tap class has been running for 15 years and grows in popularity every year (see our timetable for more details) Adult Tap is great to keep the body moving and the  brain thinking!

Modern Dance explores the genres of Jazz, Lyrical and Contemporary Dance. In it's early days Modern Dance was formed as a rejection of ballet with dancers being danced bare foot, in parallel and often with flexed feet. Today Modern dance encompasses a wide range of dance styles and you are likely to see steps like turns, leaps, kicks and floor work when watching a Modern Dance Routine. 

Modern dance can be equally demanding on the body as Ballet as it works many of the same muscles groups and can help to develop stamina, expressiveness and  a range of contrasting movement styles. 

Hip Hop is our funky Street style class. We cover basic Hip Hop style Choreography as well as exploring Break dancing, Isolations and Rhythm. 

This class is all danced to popular music which really gets the children moving and grooving. 

We currently have classes suitable for 5 -11 years.

Acrobatic Arts is an acrobatic program which has been designed for dancers in order to safely develop, strength, flexibility, balance, and tumbling tricks in choreography without the use of a mat. (We do use mats during training to limit the cause of injury while learning something new.) 

​

This class helps to develop flexibility and strength and allows dancers to become more impressive. You will learn tricks like one handed cartwheels, no handed cartwheels, forward walk overs and splits. 

Students will need to study one additional dance genre to be eligible for this class.
