A well-trained dancer requires a high degree of co-ordination and a facility for analysing movement.

Ballet is the foundation of all dance disciplines. It develops an understanding of stance, line, placement, use of floor and turnout and, to avoid injury, spatial awareness and individual physicality.

Jazz develops flexibility and strength to help dancers perform with energy, speed, stamina, co-ordination and control.

Tap is the earliest of the jazz techniques and is uniquely helpful in teaching analysis of phrasing, with its emphasis on rhythm and syncopation. It is extremely popular with audiences and is enjoying a welcome revival in musical theatre.

Additional classes such as street jazz, song and dance, acrobatics, contemporary and pas de deux add to the dancer’s essential skills and technique.
