Classical Ballet
One of the oldest forms of Western dance still practised today, ballet originated in the Italian Renaissance Courts of the 15th Century from the stylised court dances of the era. Today it is recognised as an essential foundation for dance training, imparting dancers with great precision, strength, grace & agility, along with discipline and persistence in achieving results.
Jazz
One of the most popular and well known forms of dance, jazz dance includes strength, flexibility and conditioning exercises, along with travelling work and progressions including turns, kicks and leaps. Jazz is ever evolving and encompasses a wide range of styles within it’s context, from Musical Theatre to Music Videos.
Lyrical Contemporary Dance
Exploring different movement patterns and embracing the creative & expressive; contemporary dance evolved as an alternative dance form to ballet, at times as an outright revolt against it, becoming a beautiful & complex dance form in its own right. Contemporary dance has experienced a recent resurgence with younger dancers thanks to the popularity of this style in such shows as SYTYCD.
