CHILDREN'S CLASSES
Classes are open to children age 3 upwards and take a rounded approach - classes emphasise physical development, creativity, musicality and freedom of expression in a non-competitive environment. Through my unique programme, children will develop strong foundations in dance technique whilst exploring their creativity through a range of activities and games. Classes include plenty of opportunities for children to contribute their own ideas and create their own movements. Children will have the chance to perform their work back to each other, developing performance skills and confidence in their ideas. Our small class sizes allow for lots of individualised attention and a friendly community where every child has a chance to participate and express themselves.
Dance styles currently on offer are:
* Acro-dance *
A fun class combining elements of acrobatics with dance. Children will develop their strength and flexibility through a range of activities. They'll then use these skills to develop acrobatic elements, such as jumps, leaps, handstands and cartwheel variations, and incorporate these into dance routines. Children will also use teamwork to create acrobatic balances and skills in pairs and groups.
* Street Steppers *
An energetic, upbeat class incorporating a mix of hip hop and street dance styles. Children will learn and develop foundations in dance technique, as well as musicality and rhythm, creativity, strength and flexibility.
* Modern Ballet *
A mix of classical and contemporary dance styles, including: ballet technique, strength, flexibility, creativity, expression and flow.
* Please see booking page for class times and details. *
* Progress Programme *
Our classes incorporate a unique 'Colour Awards' programme. I designed a unique syllabus for each style of dance we offer, to enable children to track their progress and feel proud of their achievements. Children work their way through colour levels, earning medals and certificates as they progress. This system has proved extremely successful and is very motivational for our students.
