TODDLERS |
|
|
|
| (Age group 3 – 6 years) | |
The class promotes body awareness, music understanding and natural rhythm. We teach the kids basic body movements in time to familiar music so they begin to understand the relationship between the beat and the steps. Steps are given names that relate to their shape to aid memorization, for example ‘sun’, ‘tree’ and ‘twinkles’. The emphasis in the classes is always on fun and the atmosphere remains relaxed and non-competitive. |

JUNIORS |
|
(Age group 6 – 12 years) |
|
These classes are a progression from the toddlers’ batch and so the kids are encouraged to think more about applying their bodies to the music. Rhythm and pace vary from dance to dance and so a little more discipline is required. Because of this the students benefit from an increased sense of satisfaction with their work. They begin to pick up the basics of some distinct dance forms, e.g. hip-hop, rock ’n’ roll and jazz, and to learn what makes them unique. |
|
BEGINNERS |
|
| (Age group 12+) | |
In this class we identify different forms of dance and teach each one in turn, including jive, hip-hop, waltz and salsa. This ensures maximum variety for the students to keep them fully interested. Also, by focusing on the basics the classes represent a realistic challenge even for total beginners. Before the steps become too advanced for our students we are always moving on to a new form and a new routine. After just one batch students will be ready to take on the next level. |
|
PRE-ELEMENTARY |
|
This class involves longer routines that combine more than one of the forms learnt during the beginner class. Students have a greater say in which styles they focus on and the routine is designed accordingly. At this stage, props may be incorporated, e.g. a hat or chair, to make sure the students are always learning and progressing. |
|
ELEMENTARY |
|
Any students who have completed pre-elementary are welcome to attend this class. Here we start to specialize to give students an in-depth understand of one particular dance form, chosen with their preferences in mind. The routines are extended and developed with a view to live shows. Thus, we begin to educate our students about the wider aspects of performance, e.g. stage management and terminology. At this stage multiple props are used and choreography must be learned precisely. |
|
INTERMEDIATE |
|
By now we have prepared our students for performance at a professional level. As such they are expected to pick up routines quickly and accurately. These classes are tough but never over-demanding and students are always eager for the challenge. Routines continue to lengthen and usually involve a combination of more advanced forms. Dancers are expected to develop their own styles and ability to ‘feel’ the music. We also teach the basics of light and sound management. |
|
CHOREOGRAPHY CLASSES |
|
The creative minds of students are explored and expanded as they start to devise their own choreography in the styles of Bollywood and Broadway. They are taught how to combine many different dance forms and how to get the best from individual dancers. This education enables students to create something both pleasing to watch and to perform. The result is a budding choreographer ready to take on the world of dance. |
|
CORPORATE BEGINNERS |
|
These classes are tailor-made for corporate professionals and all busy working people. During each batch we teach the students routines with partner work, focusing on salsa, waltz and jive. The steps and songs used are never too quick as these classes are designed for maximum enjoyment and gentle exercise. We believe it is never too late to start dancing. Also, by introducing students to a relatively high level of technical proficiency we believe the benefits of these classes transfer to their professional lives too. |
|
CORPORATE ADVANCED |
|
After a beginner batch, corporate students progress comfortably to a more advanced level. Here students are introduced to individual styles as well as more challenging partner routines. Just like any other student, our corporate dancers are welcome and encouraged to take to the stage and in these classes we teach them how, with a simple introduction to live performance techniques. |
