Lyrical dancing is performed to music with lyrics to inspire movements to express strong emotions the choreographer feels from the lyrics in the chosen song. Focusing on the expression of strong emotion, the style concentrates more on the indivdual approach and expressiveness than the precision of the dancer's movements. Created from a fusion of Contemporary, modern, ballet and Jazz dance technique.

Singing Class
Most children enjoy singing, and we love setting them up for a bright singing future!
Our curriculum is developed for children aged 4-12. All lessons are set in a structured environment and are presented in a fun and accessible way.
Teaching kids how to sing involves laying a foundation of vocal techniques through songs and vocal games and exercises. We address topics such as breathing, posture and support. Some children struggle with singing in tune and for them we include listening skills. We introduce fun warm-up exercises that are geared towards children. We also work on songs, performance and mic technique and aim to develop their confidence. Most children love their singing lessons and always look forward to coming again!
