Ballet
Even though Ballet is one of the strictest disciplines our aim is to encourage the children's deportment, understanding of muscle groups, the relevance of each excersice and the importance that this discipline has on all other subjects. We feel that Ballet is the basis of all dancing subjects and it is important to make it fun and interesting. All of our pupils follow the syllabus by the N.A.T.D and take exams from Class Ballet right through to Professional, along with Medal Tests.
Tap
We follow the N.A.T.D syllabus of Stage Branch Tap. The Pupils can take exams from Class Tap to Professional and Medal Tests.
Modern Jazz
Modern dance is a mixture of dance that will take you from the dramatic Evita to the west end stage. For example dances incorporating the Charlston, high kick routine and Grease, plus modern chart music.
Street Jazz
A modern, fun and fast style of dancing which is an extra subject
for most pupils. This discipline is a favourite with most pupils
because of the freedom of style that it allows. These classes
are always very energetic and the dancing is performed to modern
music. An excellent work out.
Musical Theatre – Dance/ Drama & Singing
From musicals to hip hop, stagecraft and performing. We will be doing our own version of the X-factor and 2-part harmony singing.

Burlesque
This Discipline is gaining popularity, not only because it is great fun and good at building confidence, but it is also a good form of exercise to strengthen, improve posture and increase flexibility. Burlesque does not equal strip, in fact a good burlesque dancer may only remove a glove. Burlesque is a cheeky seduction for ladies who at any age, shape or size want to learn to feel comfortable in their own skin and add sparkle to their lives. Please wear comfortable clothes.
