Jazz & TechniqueJazz Technique focuses on elements of weight, rhythm, and sharp movement qualities. We begin with centre floor warm-up and end with across the floor exercises focusing on technical tricks and correct alinements in Jazz Steps. Jazz Dance combines techniques of modern dance including isolations with different accents and musical rhythms.
Students will be assessed at the end of every term and examinations may be talent with the Associated Board of Dance. |
Contemporary & LyricalContemporary and Lyrical Dance is focused on expressing emotion through organic movements and unrestricted lines. Incorporating elements of lyrical Jazz, Ballet and Modern dance, Contemporary is an exciting fusion which develop fundamental skills, including balance, poise and graceful movement where Lyrical expresses softer lines and storytelling.

Commercial/Street DanceIf you are looking for a dance class that is about developing a super high energy and sassy style, Commercial is definitely for you. Commercial/Street dance has evolved from Urban styles such as Hip Hop, fused with a more theatrical Jazz style to give dancers the freedom to unleash their inner sass and develop self expression as a dancer and performer. Commercial is the kind of dancing you see when artists perform live, in music videos, on TV, Film and commercials. We use the latest music and choreograph different routines weekly. Students have the opportunity to perform in our yearly Theatre Production as well as local events.
