As well as focusing on this style of choreography the class will look at what are commonly seen as the more feminine street dance styles such as Waacking and Voguing although the class is not just for girls! As well as these styles it will still touch on other styles such as Locking, House and Hip hop but all with a commercial twist. Each year dancers from this class will have the opportunity to take part in a performance on a professional stage to showcase what they have been learning.
Ballet
Our technique class is for all abilities, it focuses on ballet and modern techniques with our classically trained teacher .

A great foundation is essential to all dancers adding yet another string to your performance bow. Advance your dance by giving your body a strong foundation in one of the oldest and most respected forms of dance. We will not work towards exams but instead provide a more relaxed environment for dancers who wish to learn this style without the usual pressures that come alongside ballet.
