Dance

Strength, Mobility and Techniques

Dance is an integral part of Musical Theatre. We aim to develop your competence and confidence in jazz, ballet, tap, contemporary, lyrical, street jazz, pas de deux, body conditioning, pilates and fitness training.

The course is structured according to the student’s abilities allowing two groups to develop at a different pace of progression and to work at a level, which is right for you.

Firm foundations, technique and placement will be an essential part of every dance class. Flexibility and strength will be developed to the maximum along with co-ordination, control and stamina.

Many different styles will be taught and visiting professionals will teach choreographic repertoire from many West End Musicals. You will develop the ability to learn sequences and retain corrections.

Ballet is the foundation for all dance disciplines and aims to develop your understanding of turn out, placement, stance, posture and line. It also gives you an understanding of the body and how to avoid injury.

Tap will enable you to build on your vocabulary of steps, learn difficult and intricate combinations and develop a variety of rhythms and styles.

Jazz will range from commercial street jazz for TV and pop videos to lyrical technical jazz. Technique is always of the utmost importance enabling you to dance with control, energy and dynamics.
