Jazz dancing is the more popular style among the students as it is fun, energetic and uplifting. Jazz is a great work out for all ages and levels of ability. It enhances a students flexibility, movement, and fitness levels.

TAP

Tap dancing is a style in which the rhythm is sounded out by the clicking taps on the heels and toes of a dancer’s shoes. Tap shows rhythmic variations and gets the students to show rhythm, timing and combinations with their tap shoes.

CONTEMPORARY

Contemporary is a mix of ballet and modern dance. Contemporary dance encourages students to show self-expression, natural movement and personal interpretation.

Ballet classes offer strength, posture, discipline and technique. Classical ballet is characterized by a standard vocabulary of steps, poses, and graceful movements including pointed feet, rising, jumping, stretching and turning.

Dance Pointe uses RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) as their ballet syllabus.
