Many different
types of dance are taught at the school including Modern stage, Jazz dance,
Street Jazz, Hip Hop, Ballroom, Latin, Contemporary. The emphasis is on
Modern Stage, Theatre and Street Jazz Dance which is used most in musical
theatre and at auditions.
During the
dance classes we aim to make the children aware of how they move, the
importance of warming up and cooling down correctly, correct use of muscles
and joints, obtaining and maintaining good posture, improving suppleness and
general overall fitness and developing a good sense of rhythm.
The classes
are carefully structured commencing with a warm up section, then moving on
to a series of exercises to strengthen muscles, loosen joints and to stretch
the body whilst increasing fitness levels. Finally in each lesson the
students learn a routine which may be to funky pop song or a classical
musical theatre number. Most importantly of all the dance classes are
great fun.
