Classes

Ballet & Pointe

Our Ballet Programs are based on the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, a professional classical Ballet training program using developmentally appropriate exercises and techniques. Ballet classes focus on the classical technique while incorporating the artistic aspects of the dance form. 
The Royal Academy of Dance's Vocational syllabus continues from the Graded syllabus in developing strong classical ballet training. Pointe work is introduced in this stream and the curriculum takes a pre-professional approach to training young dancers. ​

Modern

Modern dance incorporates technical skills with creative exploration to develop performance dynamics, choreographic and improvisational skills. ​

Contemporary

Contemporary is rooted in the techniques Ballet, Modern and Jazz with a focus on the current trends in the dance community. ​

Jazz & tap

Jazz and Tap classes encourage a vitality and enthusiasm for dance while training a versatile dancer. Tap teaches the understanding of the feet as musical instruments and Jazz focuses on developing technique while working on fun choreography.

Hip Hop

Hip Hop is a high energy form of dance that evolved from Break dancing and encompasses street style movements, also known as Urban Dance.

Art

In our Visual Arts classes, students create both 2D and 3D art, using a wide variety of materials for the purpose of expressing thoughts and ideas. Students learn innovative techniques and new skills in handling materials in an atmosphere of storytelling and positive encouragement.
