RAD BALLET 

Ballet classes help to develop correct everyday posture, improving balance and coordination. At SDA we proudly follow the RAD syllabus (Royal Acadamy of Dance) 

ISTD MODERN THEATRE 

Modern dance is often seen on the stages of musical productions and is known for its theatrical qualities. The style uses travelling steps, high kicks, leaps and turns which all need strength and flexibility. This is a highly energetic dance style.

ISTD TAP

Tap Dance is an exciting, percussive, rhythmical dance form. The dancer uses their feet to strike the floor, beating out a melody, with tap shoes which have small metal plates on the toe and heel to give the distinctive sound. Tap dance is a theatrical art form often seen on screen and stage in musicals.

JAZZ

Jazz is a fun class where students get to learn different routines each week, as well as explore new styles. This helps hugely with retention skills. 

POINTE WORK 

The RAD syllabus introduces pointe work at inter foundation level. We usually introduce Pointe to children ages 12 or above, depending on the students capabilitys.

MUSICAL THEATRE 

Sundays are for Musical Theatre. This includes drama and performance classes where students work on improvisation skills and script work, as well as group singing classes to work on harmonising.

LIMBERING AND BODY CON  

The stretch classes allow your dancer to warm up and practice new stretches right before our technique classes, We safely work on flexabilty as well and strengthening which is beneficial both to their overall skill and enhances their performance in the technique classes. 

1 to 1 TUITION 

In private lessons students can work on solos for dance competitions or practice syllabus work in preparation for exams.
