Ballet Classes
Our ballet programme follows the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, offering structured training from pre-primary to advanced grades. Students develop technical precision, musicality, and artistic expression through traditional ballet techniques. The curriculum prepares dancers for examinations while fostering creativity and performance skills in a supportive environment.
Acro Dance
Acro dance combines technical dance elements with acrobatic skills, focusing on flexibility, strength, and balance. Our programme teaches controlled tumbling, partner work, and floor acrobatics within a safe, progressive framework. Classes cater to ability levels from beginner to advanced, following the Acrobatic Arts curriculum.
Street Jazz
Street jazz classes blend commercial dance styles with technical jazz foundations. Students learn choreography inspired by music videos and West End productions, developing rhythm, coordination, and performance energy. The programme caters to both recreational and competition-focused dancers.
Musical Theatre
This programme integrates singing, acting, and dance to develop well-rounded performers. Using LAMDA syllabus guidelines, students explore musical repertoire while building stagecraft skills. Classes focus on character development, vocal technique, and ensemble performance for theatre productions.
