PreSchool dance for 2-4 year olds Minis

Pre School introduces children to dance and movement using the natural actions of the body such as running, walking, jumping, hopping, skipping and galloping. It is structured to aid children’s physical development, coordination, spatial awareness, creativity and self-expression, working individually, with a partner, or as a group.Pre School dance also introduces children to other fundamental curriculum learning skills such as counting, colour and shape recognition, vocabulary and language skills. The strength of the system is that learning is achieved through imaginative movement which is enjoyable and fun.

• articulate parts of the body

• perform with an awareness of space
• demonstrate control
• demonstrate co-ordination
• demonstrate elevation
• demonstrate use of appropriate movement dynamics
• respond to the elements of music

RAD Classical Ballet:

A classical dance form which is the foundation for all dance. Classes will emphasise technique and correct body alignment along with flexibility, strength, grace, co ordination, musicality andperformance quality. Students will also study ballet terminology and history. Children can take examinations from the age of 5 and classes progress through to vocational grades. All dance examinations from grade 1 and above are recognised by Ofqual.

 

ISTD Modern Theatre:

Modern Theatre Dance defies a single permanent definition. This is largely due to its ability to adapt, develop and evolve with the changing fashion in dance. Through a carefully planned and well-tried examination syllabus, which combines modern dance, jazz and other dance styles, young people are trained to become disciplined and versatile dancers who have a professional attitude towards dance. Examinations are available from the age of 5. All dance examinations from grade 1 and above are recognised by ofqual.

ISTD Tap:

Apart from being an essential skill for the professional dancer, tap dance is one of the most enjoyable and rhythmic forms of recreational dance. Classes will emphasize rhythm, style and sound. Students will study basic tap steps, combinations and will learn to develop correct tap technique and produce clear tap sounds. Examinations can be taken from the age of 5. All dance examinations from grade 1 and above are recognised by ofqual.

Acrobatic Arts:

Acrobatic Dance, or acro as it is commonly referred to by dancers and dance professionals, is the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Often defined by unique choreography, acro dancers seamlessly blend musicality, emotional expression, line and extension with acrobatic movements in a dance context.

Acro is an especially challenging style for dancers to master as training in both dance and acrobatic elements is required. Technique includes balancing, limbering, tumbling and partnering, based in flexibility, contortion and strength
