We offer Ballet, Tap and Modern Jazz for adults and there are options for those with previous experience who wish to return to dance or for complete beginners. A weekly physical exercise session and a friendly, welcoming feel means that many of our adults stay with us for many years and make some really good friends in the process. Technical and syllabus work as well as creative work is learned and there are opportunities to participate in our Showtime Events and our Cabarets if desired.

Tap is very popular with all age groups and a great subject to start with, often children start with Ballet and Tap together when they join us. Tap helps to develop musicality and a strong sense of rhythm as well as strength and stamina. For the smallest children the chance to make lots of noise exploring the first few steps and rhythms is great fun. As they progress, tap dancing encourages understanding of musicality and performance skills and once they can dance steps like timesteps, pick ups and wings accurately and at speed they look very impressive.

Contemporary Modern Jazz is an exciting and current style of dance that we encourage all of our Juniors and Senior dancers to get involved with. There is a wealth of different performance styles within Contemporary Modern Jazz that cover genres seen on stage through every era. Most recently, the combination the Contemporary Dance style with Modern Jazz has created a fun, physically challenging and exciting performance style that lends itself perfectly in our regular performances throughout the year.

Our Musical Theatre sessions combine singing, acting and dancing and are lots of fun as well as being a great foundation if children want to perform in musicals and shows in the future. Lots of confidence boosting exercises are done as well as work on singing technique and musicality, lead by Miss. Samantha who is our Musical Director. These children then shine out at our regular performance events throughout the year.

Our Gymnastic Dance Classes are designed particularly for our children in KS1 and KS2. The strength and agility that they will develop will lead them easily into the Modern Jazz syllabus when they are old enough and also bring new skills to the ballet and tap classes they may already be doing.

Key Gymnastic skills are learnt such as forward rolls, cartwheels, bridges and handstands and are combined safely with dance routines to further work on balance, co-ordination, flexibility and strength using the specialist format of the IDTA Acrobatic Dance Syllabus. These sessions are great fun and the mixture of learning Gymnastic skills alongside other dance technique is really beneficial for the developing dancer.
