Classical Ballet
Is a wonderful and enjoyable art form where fundamental dance technique is developed and refined. A pupil who has been well taught ballet can adapt to other forms of dance with ease. Classes are taught by experienced, fully trained, qualified and registered ballet teachers. Students learn the principles of grace, line and balance. These classes are a great place to begin whether for pure enjoyment, fitness or perhaps even to lead towards a career. Classical students also find that their posture and confidence improve as their skills develop.

Jazz or Modern Dance
Jazz is a style which combines many forms of dance such as Broadway, Hip-Hop, Funk and Contemporary. This dynamic form of dance often involves performances to current or classic hit songs. Jazz is the style that can often be seen in musical theatre shows such as ‘Chicago’, ‘Hairspray’ or 'Mary Poppins'. Jazz is also often seen on video clips of the latest songs. ‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)’ by Beyonce is one better known example. Jazz classes are heavily discounted for classical students.
