This is the performance based show style dance class that everyone loves. Created to develop the dancer into a versatile all round show performer. Covering a vast range of themes through the grades from panto to cabaret. The use of props and a huge variety of music styles sees our dancers take to the stage with confidence and style.
Grades start from Preparatory at age 4 – following the IDTA (International Dance Teachers Association) syllabus. Pupils in class will alternate between studying Modern Jazz for one exam session before moving onto the Theatre Craft grade. Both Modern Jazz and Theatre Craft are taught in our “modern” or “Jazz” classes in our timetable.
From grade 3 upwards girls start to learn the technique of heel work that is an essential skill for a dancer – training the body how to distribute weight while dancing in heels with the style and elegance of a showgirl.
