About Our Classes
We want our pupils to experience the fun, excitement and challenges of performing whilst developing their own talents. Our pupils are encouraged to work hard in a class that is disciplined but light-hearted, children have to be happy to learn!
Ballet
We follow the syllabus of the Royal Academy of Dance. Pupils are entered for examinations if they so wish and when they have reached the required standard.
Modern Theatre Dance
We follow the syllabus of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD).
​
Modern Theatre Dance is seen in all musical stage productions. It can be developed in many ways including Lyrical Dance and Jazz.
Tap
Tap Dance is forever popular with dancers of all ages. Our Adult Tap class is most popular. We use the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) as a basis of our Tap training.
Contemporary Dance
Contemporary is a form of interpretive dance that is based on Ballet but does not adhere to any formal technique. It provides the dancer with flexibility, creative freedom and artistic expression.
