Current Classes
Ballet - A classical dance style known for its beauty and strength employing formalised steps and gestures. This discipline enables dancers to achieve balance, grace, poise and strength. Most ballet dances use set steps, actions and mime to re-enact a theatrical story or emotion.
Tap - A dance style in which the rhythm is audibly tapped out with the toe or heel by a dancer wearing shoes with special hard shoes or taps. This is a dance form made famous by the performances of Fred Astaire.
Modern - A contemporary style of dance which rejects the limitations of classical ballet and favours movement deriving from the expression of inner feeling. Jazz is a similar form of dance that is often combined with modern dance and incorporates more abstract moves in the style made famous by Fosse in the musical Chicago.
Street - This is an umbrella term to describe the styles developed outside of the dance studio. There are no set syllabi and moves are often free-styled. Sub-genres of streetdance include hip-hop, popping and locking with some traditional jazz and modern moves incorporated. This style is that most commonly used by backing dancers in music videos.
