Ballet – R.A.D & I.D.T.A (from age 5 years & Adults)

Ballet for pleasure, Ballet for the more serious-minded. This classical style of expressive movement has something to offer for everyone. Ballet dates back to the 17th century.

The conventional steps, grace and fluidity of movement are still found in Ballet today. Choreographers have been influenced by composers through the ages. Ballet has a technique which is the foundation of all dance.

Little Feet/Pre-Juvenile (from age 2 years)

Contemporary – (from age 8years)

Contemporary dance employs systems and methods found in modern dance , as well as classical ballet.

Contemporary dance draws on modern dance techniques as well as alternative or newer philosophies of movement that depart from classical dance techniques.Contemporary is any thing which is modern and new.

It is a merge of classical dancing postures and modern jazz ethics forming contemporary gestures. Pioneers of contemporary dance include Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham, Rudolph and Marie Rambert.

 

Street -Hip Hop (from age 4 years)

Have you ever seen the hottest pop band’s music video or performance on Top of the Pops? Then you will already know what Streetdance looks like. Streetdance takes any form of popular music – from pop to hip hop – and choreographs routines to the beats. We have seen that, only too often, the most successful pop acts have made it big by combining Streetdance routines with their tunes and lyrics.

Modern Jazz & Disco (from age 4 years)

Freestyle/disco is the trendiest and most popular form of dance in the UK today. In involves runs, spins, kicks and leaps as well as many other diverse steps and movements with lots of different arm and hand actions.

The music can be fast and ‘beaty’ or slow and sensuous, allowing dancers of all ages to use freedom of expression to enhance their style.

Tap (from age 4 years)

Tap is rhythm – rhythm is tap. Its origins are many and varied. Americans claim its origin dates from the African Jazz age.

The Irish stake their claim to the Jigs and Step Dancing. The English relate back to northern Clog Dancers but whichever one chooses to believe, Tap is as popular today as it was in the heyday of the great Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly musicals. Evergreen shows, 42nd Street and Crazy For You, and the more reecnt Stomp and Tap Dogs highlight the great diversities of style and music in tapping.

The IDTA has recently launched its new Tap Grade Examinations. Thousands of examinations and medal tests are held each year for children, students and professionals and a wide range of tests are available for adults of all ages. A gentle, rhythmical and enjoyable way to keep fit!

FEEDBACK

THANK YOU very much for the work you put in to our party. The dance routines were spot on not too easy but not too complicated either and the make up went really well just as you advised. All the children had a great time and the parents who stayed thought it was excellent. So thank you very much for all your help and for arranging everything so well. I put your cards in all the party bags so hopefully you will see some of the children again in your classes or get some requests for other parties. I know you needed to get away right on time, I’m not sure what time it was when you did get away and I hope you weren’t inconvenienced too much if you did end up staying abit longer, but thank you for ensuring everyone had the make up they wanted.

It was a fantastic day and everything was just right. Would like to complement you and your team on not only the dance routines, but also the make-up. Thank you so much for making Katie’s birthday so special. You made a 6 year old and her friends very happy. Thanks again.

Thank you for making my daughters brithday special.

My Fiancé  And I Have Never Danced Before. How Long Will It Take To Learn To Dance?
Most couples can learn to dance for their first dance in three to five lessons. If you would like a very simple first dance, you may need only one or two lessons. However, it is often hard for couples to find time to practice together, and so a few more lessons may make you feel more comfortable dancing together.

We Haven’t Chosen A Song. What Should We Do?
If you have several choices, bring all of them to your first lesson, and we can tell you which song we think would be the most appropriate. Remember, your song should be meaningful to you and not necessarily be what everyone else has chosen.

We Waited Until The Last Minute. Can You Help Us?
Of course we can!! Don’t hesitate to call, and we will fit you in for one or two lessons.

What Should We Wear To Our Lessons?
Wear clothing you are comfortable in for your lessons. Ladies should wear something similar to the shoe you will be wearing for your wedding. Try to find a shoe with a similar heel height and style. Flip flops and mules are not a good choice for lessons. Men should wear a dress shoe with leather sole rather than running shoes that tend to stick on the floor.
