Our Classes Start at the age of 18 months. We provide a fun-filled 30-minute class which aims to develop and improve children’s gross motor skills. Through movement to music, mime and imaginative play, children experience physical, social, and cognitive development; it is the perfect introduction to dance for very young children.
The Imperial Classical Ballet syllabus has a strong focus on technique to ensure injury prevention throughout training, whist also encouraging musicality and artistry.
We offer classes from Pre Primary up to Intermediate. The grades include classical technique, free movement and character styles of dance.
In Tap dance
children are able create a simple rhythmic routine from the first lesson onwards. The children love the sound of their noisy feet, and quickly learn to listen carefully to the rhythm and beat of the
music.
We follow the
recently revised ISTD Tap dance syllabus, which provides a framework for progression from Primary to Advanced levels.
The class is structured to include warm up, kicks, tricks, turns, flexibility, strength, cool down and set choreographic pieces each term. We provide training incorporating aspects of Radar Technique to encourage strong jazz technique, as well as artistic style. We love to use current music from the charts and produce exciting, up to date choreography!
Acro is a form of gymnastics designed specifically for use within dance. The skills are taught from the perspective of using them to flow between dance skills. They have a form of artistry combined within them and need to be gained without the use of a sprung floor, therefore technically different. When Acro is performed correctly, it will not have a stop, start appearance, but will blend fluidly within the dance.
