All students at DANCE1 must take a jazz class. An energetic, up beat  and bouncy dance style - Jazz is heaps of fun!!! Classes are structured to incorporate limbering, strength work,  choreography and skill building.

 

Broadway Jazz

Year 4 & above

This style of jazz is only offered in our Dance Blast classes. Think Broadway musicals, big stage numbers, high performance and lots of character.

​

Adult Jazz

These  classes  are  offered  to  those  who  have  always  wanted  to  perform  a  triple  pirouette, 

leap  across  the  floor  &  nail  that  high  kick.  No  experience  is  necessary.  We  welcome 

everyone  &  all  abilities  are  catered  for  -  whether  you're  a  first  timer  or  a  seasoned  performer.   

 

Modern 

Kindy & above

An expressive form of dance that offers an expansive range of movements and themes. Based loosely on the fundamentals and technique of Classical Ballet, Modern dance develops fluidity, grace, poise and expression. Our ADVANCED DanceBlast classes have a strong Contemporary component.

 

Contemporary

Year 7 & above

An artistic and inspirational style of dance drawing elements from both ballet and modern to form a completely unique and beautiful genre. Lots of contract/release, fall and recovery work as well as unpredictable changes in rhythm, speed and intent.

 

At DANCE1 Contemporary is looked at in ADVANCED DanceBlast classes only and requires enrolment in a Technique class.

​

Tap Dancing

A very popular form of dance and great exercise! Lots of rhythm, beat and sound exploration. Older tap students study a variety of different Tap genres including Hoofing, Broadway, Traditional and of course a more commercial, current style to keep us up to date.

ACRO for Dance (ADTA Syllabus)

Kindy & above

A style of dance that combines classical dance technique with precision acrobatic elements. Acro for Dance is an especially challenging dance genre requiring strong technical training in both the dance and Acro fields & while it shares some ‘tricks’ with Gymnastics , its technique is much more ‘dance’ specific. Acro students in Year 7 & over will also focus on aspects of Conditioning,  stretching and strengthening to help them master the foundations needed for the Acrobatic tricks.
