The Academy's Junior Dance Course is for children aged 6 and above. Each lesson is conducted in a fun and secure learning environment. Classes are carefully constructed and pupils work towards Foundation Level 1 examinations with the examining bodies Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, and the Royal Academy of Dancing.
Classes are offered in ballet, modern, tap, gymnastics and stage work and are held on Saturday afternoons.
Ballet is a great way of gaining strength, posture, grace, muscle tone, technique and musical awareness.
Tap Dancing is a rhythmical stimulating style of dance, which is a fun way of developing co-ordination, technical skill and tonal awareness.
Stage Work is a fun way for a child to experience team work and special awareness while also stimulating the child's creativity and imagination. Each child is also given the opportunity to perform in the Academy's annual production in a variety of musical styles.
Drama has many forms which have benefits on child development plus gives self confidence, imagination and its also great FUN!
Jazz Dance emphasises the development of strong dynamics with isolated movements and strong dance performance. It is fun packed with traditional jazz choreography with a urban street vibe. The course work covers Commercial, Classical and Street Jazz. The work focuses on developing a strong and secure technique and body awareness, complemented with challenging work.
Our singing classes on the theatre course are in the form of a choir. We work on a wide repertoire of songs including Disney, Musicals and more.
Two sets of classes are available – Beginner and Exam Level, which are both, held on Saturday afternoons. Children are all different, so we consider the age, experiences and personality of the child before recommending which timetable would be most suitable. Each child is carefully monitored on their progress so are able to move to the next level of training in their own time.
