Each class takes children on an imaginary journey with endless themes. An energetic warm up is followed by physical skills development, as children learn structured movement material. Creative intuition is encouraged with a closing creative exploration to dive deep into their imagination. Swimming with whales, flying rockets to the moon or adventuring through the desert- every class is different.
Each session will explore movement in a new way and help to develop physical skills, harness musicality and empower confidence in young children.
The courses for Grades Primary to Grades 5 is articulated as three strands:
Technical
The technical strand supports each dancer’s technical development as they progress through the grades. Teachers are trained to support each student as an individual to explore their full potential as they learn all elements of technical skill to the highest standard, from floorwork to complex leaps.
Performance
The performance area of our offer demands personal interpretation rather than reproduction, to celebrate and embrace the skills and understanding that each person brings to their performance of the material. For this component, the student learns and performs a solo by an established choreographer.
Creative
Geared to open interpretation, a stimuli-centred process is informed by the student’s own understanding of the world, fed by their questions, heritage and personal experience. Students gain the skills to investigate a creative task in group settings and develop improvisation skills.
