Classical Ballet
Is the basis of all forms of dance, giving the dancer strength, technique, deportment and discipline. It is the foundation subject for all dance forms. Classical ballet requires dedication from the dancer to perfect the art, and those who study classical ballet become graceful yet strong performers. Ballet teachers must be aware of each students individual physique, and are required to work with each dancer to gain the maximum technical ability. For this reason teachers are required to study anatomy and be aware of the changes they making to the bodies of the students throughout their training
 Street Dance / Street Jazz
Moves taken from the street dancers, danced in tracksuits and trainers, very athletic with full use of isolations. Lots of floor work, and little elevation required. Includes some elements of breakdance, such as balancing on arms and head. Requires attitude! Danced to the latest music.
Modern jazz is a style of dance, which uses more abstract and contracted lines instead of the longer balletic lines associated with lyrical modern.
 TAP
Tap dancing has been popular through so many generations. A way to make your feet talk and use them as musical instruments. The greatest use of rhythms, when mastered tap dancing is spectacular, and magical.
 Lyrical
Literal translation meaning "songlike", the dancers movement must flow from one to another, with little use of isolation, and no strong impulsive work.
 ZUMBA ADULTS
Zumba Fitness is like no other workout you will ever experience! Zumba Fitness was created in the mid-90s by Colombian native Alberto “Beto” Perez, a celebrity fitness trainer and choreographer for International pop superstars. Inspired by the traditional cumbia, salsa, samba and merengue music he grew up with, Beto paired his favourite pulsating Latin rhythms with the red-hot international dance steps his clients loved and Zumba Fitness (Spanish slang for “to move fast and have fun”) was born!

 Pointe Work
Not all students will be able to dance on pointe, Students must be assessed regularly to make sure that their bodies have developed the required strength to take the necessary advancement onto pointe. Technique must be very strong, and physique and posture correct before allowing a student to wear and work in pointe shoes. It is a mistake to rush into pointe work as putting a student onto pointe work too early can result in physical problems later in life. Pointe work danced correctly adds flair and grace to the ballet dancer.
 Cheerleading
A fun way to dance, using pompoms. Lots of energetic moves with crazy arm lines. You can shout, cheer and chant also. Not a quiet class, but lots of fun. A must for all high school musical fans.
A combination of the modern styles, using any current trends and new ways of moving using elevation - jumps, kicks, spins, floor work. Innovative use of steps and moves to create the most popular current dance trend
Ballroom
Dances include the Waltz, Quickstep, Fox-trot, Tango and Viennese Waltz. You can bring a partner or just come alone. A very social event
Singing
A great confidence booster. Learn to sing in tune, with the correct range for your individual voice. Songs range from pop to musical theatre and classical.
 CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements.
Contemporary dance stresses versatility and improvisation, unlike the strict, structured nature of ballet. Contemporary dancers focus on floorwork, using gravity to pull them down to the floor. This dance genre is often done in bare feet. Contemporary dance can be performed to many different styles of music. TAI CHI
Tai Chi Chuan is a Chinese form of exercise derived from Taoism, one of China's oldest belief systems. The practice of Tai Chi Chuan is beneficial to health and it is also a subtle, sophisticated and scientific method of self-defence. Since this system of exercise is suitable for people of all ages and requires little or no special equipment, it has gained an enthusiastic reception all over the world. Tai Chi Chuan evolved to help people improve their physical health, equip them to defend themselves against wild beasts and bandits, and also improve their powers of meditation. In other words, Tai Chi Chuan enables people to survive through fitness and self-defence

National Dance
From bronze medal onwards, students are taught a dance from a different country at each level. During the full course of training, students may learn upto eight different national dances. Again all ballet teachers are required to have knowledge of dances from many different countries. National shoes and skirts need to be worn for this section of the ballet examination
.
 Character dance Students are required to study mime and drama as part of their ballet training. When very young, they are required to show mime in their examinations, but as they grow older they have to use mime in their character dance work. This style of dance uses ballet technique, with the use of facial and body expressiveness, thus creating a character or storyline.
 Modern Modern dance technique comes originally from the ballet syllabus. Dancers are then taught to modernize the moves, create contemporary lines and experiment with diverse styles, and choreograph unusual pieces of dance to the many various musical rhythms available. A modern dance class consists of warm up, stretching, loosening and strengthening classes, with the dancer becoming very flexible and able to move the body in many ways
