Class Descriptions
A breakdown of what each class will offer
CHEERLEADING
Learn how to dance, stunt and tumble like a cheerleader with our professional cheer coaches.
Cheerleading is an inclusive sport open to everyone.
Cheerleading is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. It comprises both Performance Cheer (Traditional Pom and dance styles) and The Sport of Cheerleading: The Sport of Cheerleading is a high energy, team-based performance sport that is athletic, artistic and acrobatic.
The sport requires a great deal of teamwork and routines require synchronization and team uniformity. In its modern form, the Sport of Cheerleading is more akin to group acrobatics than the traditional side-line cheerleaders one might recognise from movies.
Musical Theatre
These Musical theatre sessions will provide opportunities for your child to learn the three main threads involved in performance: acting, singing and dancing. They will also be introduced to new, and classical, musical theatre songs, scenes and dance arrangements. These sessions are designed to develop, improve and teach the students how to perform and apply a variety of dance, singing and acting compositions to the best of their ability. Through the use of these musical theatre sessions your child will also improve on their memory, confidence, social skills and technique in a positive and safe environment. We can't wait to have you join the fun!

Commercial jazz is a highly choreographed dance form featuring many styles fused together that can include jazz, hip hop, contemporary, street and funk it's a mixture of sharp and fluid movements, popping and locking with musicality, Sassy and classy, just like the dancers you see in pop videos, movies and backing dancers on tv and stage tour shows for artists.
Street jazz dance is a style that blends jazz, hip-hop, funk, and electronic dance. It evolved outside dance studios in everyday spaces and is often improvisational and social.
Contemporary Dance
Contemporary dance is an important genre of dance performed in societies around the world, celebrated by people both young and old. It involves incorporating aspects of movement from several other genres such as jazz, modern and ballet. Your child will gain the ability to create a performance based on their own interpretations. This will be achieved through honing in on certain techniques, such as focusing on strong ballet-influenced leg movements, fall and recovery, floor work and further improvisational elements. One of the most important aspects of contemporary dance is the element of improvisation. This is the perfect class for your child to explore and further develop their creativity and imagination. Not only will your child gain all these skills and abilities, but will also improve on their spatial awareness, coordination, balance and confidence.

There is no age limit to this group, if you want more opportunities to perform and improve your performance skills and experiences then this is the class for you!
