Rainbows
Our rainbow classes are for children aged between 4 and 8. In these classes we learn basic ballet steps to build strength and technique and we also learn fun freestyle disco dance routines. Children work towards their NATD Rainbow exams where they receive a different colour of the rainbow after each exam. These classes are a great way for children to start their dance journey and help to build confidence. These classes are held on a Saturday morning at Branston Village Hall.
Freestyle Disco
Our Freestyle Disco classes incorporate a combination of ballet and jazz. Dancers will learn basic ballet terminology and technique as well as learning fun and upbeat dance routines to modern music. We have classes available for all ages starting from 8 years right up to adults on various days in different locations in Burton On Trent
Ballet
Ballet is a theatrical style of dance that focuses on posture, technique, alignment and grace. We have classes with our RAD registered teacher on a Thursday evening for children aged between 4 and 18 at the dance studio on Wharf Road.
Lyrical
Lyrical dance is a more graceful, soft style of dance to slower music. In these classes we work on our ballet technique as well as starting to develop skills such as leaps and pirouettes. We have lyrical classes for children aged 8-12 on a Monday night and 13 years and over on a Wednesday night at a dance studio on Wharf Road.
Contemporary
Contemporary dance combines elements of modern dance and classical ballet. In contemporary classes we relate to the work of choreographers Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham and Jose Limon. It involves contact work , release technique, fall and recovery, floorwork, improvisation and creative freedom. This style of dance is a must for anyone wishing to further their dance studies at a degree level. This class is on a Wednesday night for children aged 13 years +
Jazz Technique
Our jazz technique class is an additional class for any dancer who wishes to take their skills to the next step. This class focusses leaps, turns, building strength, flexibility and technique whilst also helping dancers develop their skills. This class is on a Wednesday night at the dance studio on Wharf Road.
