Tap Dancing

​
​Broadway
Year 4 & above
This variation of Jazz is only offered in our 'DanceBlast' classes. Think Broadway
musicals, big stage numbers, high performance and LOTS of characterisation.
A style perfect for those who love to dance with flair and personality, all inspired by the magic of your favourite Broadway musicals.
​
​Hip Hop & Urban
Kindy & above
A mix of Hip Hop, Funk, Street & Freestyle. Learn dynamic, commercial choreography and bust a move like they do in your favourite music video. All the latest moves from Kindy & up, age appropriate music & choreography ALWAYS used.
​
Contemporary
Year 7 & above
An artistic and inspirational style of dance drawing elements from both ballet and modern to form a completely unique and beautiful genre. Dancers will explore grounded movements, dynamic floor work & seamless transitions in rhythm speed and intent. Contemporary is looked at in ADVANCED 'DanceBlast' classes ONLY and requires enrolment in a Technique class.
​
Ballet
Kindy - Year 3
Available in our ‘MiniBlast’ class (Jazz/Ballet), this style looks at the foundation, precision and formal repertoire of classical Ballet. The perfect stepping stone to our Technique classes which are eligible for dancers in Year 4 & above. Think barre work, adage and petite allegro.
​
Technique
Year 4 & above
Combining Classical Ballet, Yoga & Pilates, this class works primarily on technical
dance elements, flexibility, stability and extension work. For those who love their barre, centre & corner work. This style enhances dancers’ overall ability across EVERY style. Older students in Year 7 & above enrolled in Technique will look at Contemporary dance elements.
Students who participate in 'DanceBlast' + Technique + one other dance style will be eligible to participate in our end of year concert’s OPENING NUMBER!!
​​
ACRO for Dance (ADTA Syllabus)
Kindy & above
A style of dance that combines acrobatic skills to enhance balance, flexibility and strength. Acro for Dance is an especially challenging dance genre requiring strong technical training in both the dance & Acro fields. While it shares some ‘tricks’ with gymnastics, its technique is much more ‘dance’ specific.
Therefore ACRO requires an enrolment into a JAZZ class.
​
Private Lessons
Available to all students in any style of dance.
