Open Beginner Dance
Tuesday 10.30-11.15am
Wednesday 7:15-8:00pm
This class is a fun & relaxed dance class suitable for beginners and the more experienced dancer. The lessons are different each week and you do not need to remember choreography for the next lesson! Lessons consist of a stretching component, dance technique/skills (dependent on style of the week – could be hip hop, jazz, Broadway jazz, ballet, contemporary, or tap), and a short routine at the end. The great thing about this class is that if you aren’t too keen on the style one week, it will be different the next! Lots of fun for groups of friends & couples!
Beginner Jazz/Hip Hop
Tuesday 7:30-8:30pm
Similar to Open Beginner Dance, this is a fun & relaxed class for those wishing to focus on Jazz & Hip Hop – these styles are fun, upbeat, and classes are full of energy! This class will include a stretch & warmup, cover basic technique & strength exercises for both styles, and a short choreography component to finish. This will be a non-performance class so choreography will change week to week and there is no need to remember a routine! Perfect for complete beginners, dancers with some experience who have never tried Jazz or Hip Hop, or those looking for a fun, casual, non-performing class.
Beginner Ballet/Contemporary
Thursday 7:00-8:00pm
Similar to Open Beginner Dance, this is a fun & relaxed class for those wishing to focus on Ballet & Lyrical/Contemporary – these styles are more technique-based. This class will include a stretch & warmup, cover basic technique & strength exercises for both styles, and a short choreography component to finish. This will be a non-performance class so choreography will change week to week and there is no need to remember a routine! Perfect for complete beginners, dancers with some experience who have never tried Ballet or Lyrical/ Contemporary, or those looking for a fun, casual, non-performing class.
