Modern Theatre dance is a rhythmic dance style is often seen in today’s theatres staging musical productions. Known for its theatrical qualities it is a combination of stage performance, Jazz and other dance styles. The grades develop through a series of structured warm-ups, isolations and expressive movement and include adapted exercises for boys.

TAP

Tap has been popularised throughout the world evolving as a dance form from America whilst sources also claim its origins are from African dance, Irish dance and/or clog dancing . Using their feet to strike the floor with tap shoes which have small metal plates on the toe and heel to give the distinctive sound, dancers can beat out varying sounds. This form of dance is also seen on stage in musicals such as Singing in the Rain and 42nd Street.

JELLY TOTS CLASS

This new class for boys and girls featured on our New Classes page is for up to 3 year olds and based primarily on ballet. It is the perfect start as a foundation to the Mini Ballet classes. Children must be confidently walking on their own and while we encourage them to do the class on their own we do allow the Parents to come in. 

DOLLY MIXTURES CLASS

This class for boys and girls starts from age 5 with a combination of Modern and Tap, progressing onto the Modern Theatre and Tap grades. Great fun is had by these young people learning how to make the sounds with their tap shoes and getting into the groove with the Modern dance.
