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.

At the end of every term the students parents are welcomed to watch the work to celebrate their progression over the term.

Technique and Stretches based on improving flexibilty and core strengh. Good flexibilty is extremely important for a dancer and the level of flexibility affects that individual's form, alignment, the ability to have clean lines, proper technique and it prevents injury.

Free-work class to fun music but it achieves results. It’s a class to increase your stamina, flexibility and strength that is essential to those of you taking ballet classes to allow the student a chance to really shine and to support and enhance a dancer’s performance.

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!

Uniform: Clothing that is easy to move around in. Depending on the character, props and specific clothing may be needed.
