Themed Classes
Encouraging Movement

Dance Styles:

Jazz & Hip Hop

With the growing body in mind, this class encourages both your child's larger and smaller muscle control and development. Dancers need to be able to run, jump, balance and be ready to move in any direction when necessary. This is developed through our movement play.

In this class we include elements of Jazz and Hip Hop and children have fun learning dance etiquette through games.

Encouraging Expression

Dance Styles:

Ballet & Acro

It is important to capture and cultivate a child's growing imagination to explore different feelings and expressions they have and use them in a way that they enjoy. Expression and feeling is what makes dance an art form, instead of a sport. 

 

In this class we include elements of Ballet and Acro and your child will learn how to express themselves through games and role play.  

Encouraging Musicality

Dance Styles:

Tap & Musical Theatre

Music is included in our program as it is such an integral part of dance. Children learn the basics of music in relation to dance and start developing their 'inner ear'. A good dancer visualizes the music and finds the nuances to create a harmonious blend of dancer and music. 

 

In this class we include elements of Tap and Musical Theatre and learn music in relation to dance through instruments, songs and movement.
