Our Core Disciplines

Our class packages combine Acrobatics, Ballet, Tap, and Musical Theatre, giving every student a well-rounded performing arts experience.

Ballet: The foundation of dance. The technique, values and discipline you learn in ballet translate into every other dance style. We follow the esteemed ISTD syllabus.
Tap: Teaches rhythm and musicality. In tap you are learning how to make and listen to music, developing essential listening and co-ordination skills.
Acrobatics (Acro): All about flexibility, strength, balance, limbering, and tumbling. Using a safe and effective program, we teach the pupils the correct technique to progress from simple log rolls to tumbling effortlessly.
Musical Theatre: Our most varied subject. From singing with our qualified vocal coach to drama, puppet work, tap, jazz and commercial. We study the shows that have graced West End stages and Broadway.
