All of our classes are structured & supportive for learning & developing skills
but also allow room for fun, individuality & personality!
We encourage and motivate in children, the determination to improve technique & achieve their best
in an atmosphere that is free from pressure or exams, allowing us to keep learning dance, fluid & creative;
our emphasis is on working together & sharing the love of dance.
In this imaginative, fun, combination class, children spend equal class time on Tap & Modern Dance. The classes are non-pressured but structured; our aim is for children to enjoy learning dance & build social & teamwork skills as they make friends, gain confidence & exercise together.
Dance Starz
The skills children learn in this element of the class form the basis of all dance movement & motor skills from turns, travel, balancing, jumps, kicks, isolations & more. Children explore dance through creative exercises & short routines to encourage confidence & performance, as well as build coordination & body control.
Tip Toe Tap
Children learn the primary Tap steps & are introduced to simple rhythms & technique through structured short exercises enhanced by imagination & games. Each term we practise these steps by combining them into a routine which adds style & helps to develop posture & strength.
************************************************
Music varies from set music for practise exercise to children's classics, to everyday pop from decades past, to modern charts. The class ends with either a short time of free or guided dance or a game with a purpose, which helps children to explore self expression & confidence.

In Dance Dynamix, we mix learning key dance skills with developing choreographed routines.
We aim to broaden children's dance skills & appreciation of music & styles by not only developing routines in street dance or pop using the latest chart music but focusing each term on another genre & the techniques or moves that are unique to styles such as rock, contemporary, disco, bollywood, latin, Jazz & Modern, swing jive, funk, 60s & more.
Children spend time in class on skill sequences for practice & we fuse these into our dynamic dance routines where they will also gain an understanding of rhythm & explore expression. Children are given the opportunity to develop their own ideas, style & creativity during the term too, through choreography activities or freestyle freetime. This helps to reinforce what they have learnt in a way relevant to them as well as build confidence, coordination, teamwork skills & friendships.

In our Tap Improvers class, children will continue to build their knowledge to include tap steps & more complex combinations found in ISTD grade 3 & 4 (silver) as well as rhythmic sequences. They will develop their technique & expand their skills to create interesting, fun & stylised routines. Using short exercises & activities there are plenty of opportunities to practise new steps. Children are also encouraged to choreograph their own short routines & when possible, work together to build teamwork skills & friendships.
