Ballet
Classical ballet is the core foundation of all dance styles, and has a big influence on all other genres of dance. Ballet requires discipline, strong technique, athleticism, poise, balance and precision, all of which can be carried with a person throughout their life. Ballet improves posture, physical coordination, mental strength, focus and flexibility.
​
All academies take 45mins of ballet each session, following the RAD ballet syllabus. RAD is the biggest ballet syllabus, recognised world-wide. This consistency enables dancers to carry ballet skills and technique across all their work.

Jazz
Jazz is a style combining ballet techniques and acro strength and flexibility work. It is an energetic and fun style, incorporating travelling steps, high kicks, leaps and turns. Jazz is a style often seen on stage in musical productions, and is known for it's theatrical elements.
Dancers will learn various routines and combinations in jazz, also developing their ability to pick up choreography quickly, and link all the steps together.
We cover all styles of jazz including technical jazz, fosse, musical theatre jazz, lyrical jazz and more.
Lyrical / Contemporary
Lyrical and contemporary both incorporate techniques learnt in ballet and jazz, to create a softer style of dance, often performed to a ballad.
Contemporary incorporates elements of contraction, release, spiral, floor work, fall and recovery and more.
Lyrical is a performance style, usually storytelling, which requires dancers to emote and perform through their movement.
Commercial
Commercial is a hard-hitting dance style, requiring tons of energy and performance. It is a sassy and fun genre, teaching groove, confidence, dynamics, isolation and performance. We use a mixture of sharp and fluid movements, to create an energetic dynamic performance, with animated expressions.
It is mainly seen on stage with pop artists, and in pop music videos.
