JUNIOR VIRTUOSITY

This is a delightful non-syllabus class for students from grade 2 upwards where your child will learn about different choreographers, have a gentle stretch and improve their improvisation skills. They also have fun exploring choreography and challenge themselves to perfect virtuoso allegro and turning steps. There is lots of opportunity to work as a solo, duet or in groups to improve their communiction skills. I don't know how we fit it all in!

Monday 4.45 - 5.30 p.m.

LYRICAL AND CONTEMPORARY

Lyrical and contemporary have very specific techniques, this class is designed to enhance the work achieved in the modern classes and to delve deeper into the workings of each genre. Lyrical embodies asects of ballet, jazz and modern dance, it should have flowing movements with expression and emotion that connect with the song lyrics. Contemporary dance combines the strength and control of ballet with modern stresses. Students will learn, how to contract and release, floor work, fall and recovery with unpredictable changes in rhythm, speed and direction. Due to the complex nature of these genres a good understanding of core control and transfer of weight is essential so this class is open to students from grade 4 modern and above. It is not included in the "unlimited" fees package , it is an "add on" class.
