Acrobatic Arts

​

The Acrobatic Arts syllabus has been developed from a number of different disciplines including Ballet, Modern Dance, Jazz, Artistic Gymnastics, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Yoga and Pilates

 

There are 5 divisions of Acrobatic Dance: Flexibility, strength, balancing, limbering and tumbling

 

Progression takes the beginner at pre-primary level from log rolls and cartwheels to the advanced dancer tumbling effortlessly across the stage.

​

Acrobatic Arts teachers start from the very beginning, teaching proper placement and technique so that students have the building blocks to progress safely and quickly from one level to the next.

​

Tap

​

We take inspiration from Rhythm Tap developed in North America.  The classes work on developing fast and intricate footwork. Students gain skills in rhythm, coordination and fast reflexes

​

 

Contemporary Dance

 

Contemporary Dance incorporates elements of Ballet, Lyrical Jazz and Modern Dance.  It develops fundamental skills such as balance, poise and graceful movement

​

​

Release: with an emphasis on fluidity and the efficient use of energy and breath
