Ballet Classes Canberra

Ballet classes in Canberra is formal ballet training. Proper posture, class etiquette, and use of positions of feet and arms are emphasized. Students will learn to identify points of the room and develop muscle memory as well as increase coordination and music recognition. Class is accompanied by live piano and students can participate in the full school performance.

Jazz Dance Classes

Based on teacher recommendation. Class begins with a warm-up, isolations and stretching. Students learn fundamental jazz steps and basic movement combinations. Emphasis is on basic jazz steps and vocabulary, body placement, stretch, rhythm and musicality.

Contemporary Dance Classes

Contemporary dance is an expressive style of dance that combines elements of other dance disciplines such as classical ballet, jazz and modern. In contemporary classes, students explore the connection between music and movement. This is a fluid, free-form style where shapes and levels punctuate choreography. Contemporary choreography can be abstract and unpredictable, and students are challenged to draw audiences into the choreography’s story by dancing with emotion and artistry.

Tap Dance Classes

Tap dance classes in Canberra are a terrific way for dancers to develop coordination and musicality. Students start with basic steps like stamps, stomps and digs and before long they're moving on to cramp rolls, paradiddles and drawbacks. At tap class, students are taught to execute skills with precision in order to deliver a clean, crisp sound that complements the choreography.
