By this level students will have a good knowledge of Ballet technique and a basic understanding of terminology. Students begin exploring traditional character dances alongside their classical work from Russia and Ukraine.

ADVANCED ACRO
Monday 7:00-8:30pm
Our Acro Dance classes promote co-ordination and stamina and contain exercises to strengthen, extend and loosen the body to increase flexibility. Acro Dance is an art form specifically designed for dancers. Acro has softer, more lyrical-looking lines than floor gymnastics, with emphasis on lengthening “through” the tricks and holding beautiful balances with interesting variations.
With the added element of Acro, students can learn acrobatics to add into their dance routines, starting with simple stretches and balances working towards more advance moves and tumbling as they progress.
We follow the Acrobatic Arts and BBO Acro Dancer syllabuses, are fully certified in teaching Acro dance and we are an official AcroPad centre so we can always offer the best to our students.
Friday 7:00-8:00PM
A fun, dynamic dance class for energetic students.
All of our Jazz classes follow the BBO Dance syllabus aiding students to build stamina, flexibility and coordination with a focus on creating individual style. Jazz is one of the core disciplines and foundations of dance. Students learn to develop their kicks, leaps and turns while improving their performance skills.
Students also learn unique and inspiring choreography to pop songs and have the chance to 'freestyle' with their friends to their favourite songs.
Our Jazz classes are designed to build confidence, encourage individual style and build the foundations of technique required for dance.
ADVANCED TAP

Tap dance is a form of dance characterised by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion and teaches the student all about rhythm. The sound is made by shoes that have a metal "tap" on the heel and toe.
Fast and loud, fun and energetic!
Big Musical Theatre productions like Mary Poppins, 42nd Street and Anything Goes still have tap at the heart of their choreography. Performers like The Syncladies have given tap a modern touch and make it look fresh!
It is a technically complex discipline, focusing on rhythm and beats created by the steps and which has whole language of its own,
