School-Age Class Descriptions

Combining our School-Age Classes

We combine some of our classes and include 2 elements in the class; this gives the students a chance to learn more than one style and also keeps them focused.

The Jazz and Acrobatics classes are combined to include dance technique and have them warmed up to move onto the more strenuous acrobatic moves.

The classes run for 45 minutes each element runs for 20 to 25 minutes with a drink/shoe change in between.

Ballet –  5-7 yrs, 8-10 yrs & 11-14yrs.

This is a classical ballet class, without examinations. We work from the barre, moving onto to centre work. The class is fun without too much pressure; we want our students to develop a love of dancing and passion for ballet, with gentle guidance and technique development. We successfully achieve happy and relaxed ballerinas.

Glittery Tap – 5-7 yrs, 8-10 yrs & 11-14yrs.

Each class is tailored to the age and ability of the class and will learn more complex tap dancing steps, rhythms and techniques, as they progress. Starting with tap warm ups, combinations, corner to corner and a routine to finish. The 5-7 yrs class will use a small amount of props to help keep them focused and have fun whilst learning.

Funky Jazz – 5-7 yrs, 8-10 yrs & 11-14yrs.

Funky Jazz is a fabulous and fun class to learn funky moves to cool music. The classes are age appropriate and we steer clear of sexy moves teaching them funky routines without any writhing!

The younger classes will have activities within the class to keep them focused and have fun whilst learning. Warm ups, corner to corner, combinations and a routine. Each age group and level will be challenged more as they gain confidence, coordination and skill, whilst having fun.

Each age group is challenged more as their skill and coordination develops.

Acrobatics – 5-7 yrs, 8-10 yrs & 11-14yrs.

Starting with Jazz to warm up and then move onto acrobatics, working with mats and hoops. Starting with learning tumbles, cartwheels, handstands and advance onto more difficult moves like lifts and flips as the age and abilities progress.

Hip hop – 5-7 yrs, 8-10 yrs & 11-14yrs.

A fun and Funky class with cool moves and music. The class will warm up and stretch and will move onto corner to corner and jazz technique. Finishing with a funky routine. As with all our classes the music and the moves used in the dance class and routines are age appropriate.
