Modern Theatre dance is a rhythmic dance style and is often seen in today’s theatres staging musical productions. The grades develop through structured warm-ups, isolations and expressive movement and include adapted exercises for boys.
Tap has been popularised throughout the world evolving as a dance form from America.

These forms of dance are also seen on stage in musicals such as Singing in the Rain and 42 Street.

AcroDance teaches the athleticism of acrobatics by promoting excellence in flexibility, strength, balance, tumbling, basic contortion and partner/group stunting enhancing a dancer’s training, rather than working against it. These classes are very complimentary to classic dance techniques such as Ballet and Modern. However, they also work as a stand alone class for those wanting to develop tricks, kicks and leaps to the accompaniment of current, upbeat music.
We have chosen to affiliate ourselves with Acrobatic Arts and our certified teacher follows a professional curriculum.

We have a beginners/improvers class and an advanced tap class for adults. 

We also provide gentle adult ballet classes which are open to everyone.

The classes help with coordination and mobility whilst also improving memory and a feeling of well-being! They are for fun and fitness and have proved very popular.
