Ballet is a beautiful, graceful and highly precise form of dance, which involves, turnout, extension of the limbs, extreme strength, balance and control. It originated within Renaissance Courts in Italy, and travelled through France, Russia, America and Europe where famous ballet companies and schools of today were formed.
Tap is a fantastic sounding rhythmical dance form, which has its foundations within African Tribal dancing, Scottish and Irish dancing and English dances such as clogging and Jigs. Tap has many different styles such as Rhythm Tap and Broadway Tap, We teach the children with a reference to each through the ISTD syllabus.
Modern is a very exciting and expressive form of dance. It has many varying styles, each with it's own technique which can be seen in musicals in the West End, pop concerts and music videos through to contemporary dance companies in theatres nationwide. Modern Dance derives from a throwback form of Ballet within Germany and America in the early 20th Century.
