Performance Academy
Our Performance Academy combines training in singing, acting and movement, giving budding performers the chance to build confidence, develop their skills and shine. This class is perfect for children who love to perform and need an outlet for their creativity, imagination and energy. Pupils will work on acting and singing skills individually, before bringing everything together to create exciting performance pieces with movement. Throughout the year, we will work towards our Christmas and summer performances, giving every child the opportunity to grow in confidence and enjoy performing on stage.
Dance Foundation
Our Dance Foundations class is designed to give children the tools they need to build strong dance skills across Ballet, Tap and Jazz in a fun, supportive and confidence-building environment. Dancers will develop technique, musicality, coordination and performance skills, using elements of the IDTA syllabus alongside creative class work. Throughout the year, pupils will also work towards our Christmas and summer performances, giving them the opportunity to grow in confidence and enjoy performing on stage.
Contemporary & Lyrical
Our Contemporary & Lyrical classes give dancers the opportunity to tell emotive stories through beautiful, expressive and striking movement. This style of dance encourages creativity, musicality and self-expression, allowing each dancer to explore their own individuality while continuing to develop strong technique, control and performance quality. Dancers will work on a variety of routines throughout the year, building towards our Christmas and summer performances.
Mini Stars
Our Preschool Dance class is a fun and nurturing introduction to dance for little performers aged 3–5. Through music, movement, imagination and play, children will begin to explore basic dance technique, coordination, rhythm and confidence in a gentle and supportive environment. This class is designed to help young children develop independence, creativity and a love of movement, while learning to listen, follow instructions and express themselves through dance. Perfect for children ready to take their first steps into the world of performing arts.
