Ballet

All pupils of Dance Works are encouraged to take lessons in Ballet as this is the core subject which provides the foundations to all aspects of dance. We follow the I.D.T.A dance syllabus and our aim is to ensure that each pupil is encouraged to reach their full potential, by building their confidence and technique and working towards and taking examinations. Every dancer needs great posture, co-ordination and grace. Ballet classes are available from 2 years.

Modern Jazz

Modern Dance The I.D.T.A Modern Jazz syllabus combines technique, strengthening and rhythmical exercises in a structured way to achieve different feelings and approaches to modern dance. A wide variety of music including pop, jazz, contemporary and funk are used to help with learning and progression towards exams. Modern Jazz also improves flexibility and builds stamina. Modern Jazz classes available from age 5 years.

Cheerleading

Cheerleading in Great Britain is exploding!! The development of dance skills, use of exciting music and Pom Pons all combine to make cheerleading one of the most popular classes at Dance Works. We introduce cheerleading from our youngest age group which is 2. The children work towards ground bound exams individually and also team Cheerleading awards. Cheerleading also looks great on stage and always goes down well with audiences at our annual show and charity events.

Street dance is the fusion of Jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, pop, commercial dance, mixing them together to form fast and funky routines.
