CLASSICAL BALLET (RAD) - The Royal Academy of Dance offers an internationally recognised curriculum for students of all ages and levels of ability through its systemic syllabi starting from Pre- School Dance, Pre- Primary and Primary levels, Graded and Vocational Graded levels. By the way of systematic assessments and examinations by the RAD Examination Board, students who meet the class criteria and preparation will be entered for RAD exams at the Director’s discretion.

CONTEMPORARY – This genre has strong classical foundations without the rigidity of a ballet class. More emphasis is placed on the ease of movement through the body’s natural lines, fluidity and energy. Students will learn contemporary based techniques and dance choreographed pieces.

STRETCHING & CONDITIONING - This is an essential aspect of a dancer’s development and training. This class works to amplify the flexibility, stamina, endurance and strength of the dancer’s body, by working on core stability and alignment which is fund-amental in order to move into pointe work.

POINTE WORK - Dancing “en pointe,” is a major goal in a ballerina’s dance life. Dancing on pointe, requires tremendous strength of the legs and feet. Attention is given to meet the needs of each student from going into pointe to mastering an entire class on pointe.

JAZZ - This type of dancing is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns. In our jazz class dancers learn funky age appropriate routines with a technical focus. Jazz is a great free movement class which builds dancer presence, awareness and confidence.
