JUNIORS
YEARS 4, 5 & 6
In the Year 4, 5 & 6 age-group, we take the next leap with a variety of classes.
DanceBlast
DanceBlast is a high-energy, 1.5-hour class that combines Jazz, Broadway, and Modern to build confidence and allows them to build on the foundations learned in DemiBlast! DanceBlast introduces the magic of Broadway to help dancers develop character, and stage presence, while Jazz and Modern lay the technical foundation for strong, expressive movement.
As your child progresses, DanceBlast becomes a core part of their dance journey, with the opportunity to advance into Advanced DanceBlast from Year 7—taking their training and confidence to the next level!
In classes we strive to:
-
Build a strong foundation by stretching and strengthening our form
-
Enhance flexibility and control with limbering exercises
-
Expose dancers to a variety of fun, fresh and versatile moves
All students must enrol into a ‘DanceBlast’ class as their first style. Once enrolled, our Juniors have the option to add on additional styles.
Styles on Offer
Jazz
An high-energy, upbeat & vibrant dance style with music to match! Classes are structured to incorporate limbering, strength work, choreography, musicality & skill building. All students at DANCE1 MUST take a Jazz class.
Modern
An expressive form of dance that blends the elements, fundamentals & technique of Classical Ballet. Modern dance develops fluidity, grace, poise and expression.
Broadway
Think Broadway musicals, big stage numbers, high performance and LOTS of characterisation. A style perfect for those who love to dance with flair and personality, all inspired by the magic of your favourite Broadway musicals.
Tap
A lively & rhythmic class where dancers move more than just their bodies, but transform their feet into musical instruments. Students learn the foundational steps, explore footwork patterns and develop precision & timing.
Urban
Learn dynamic, commercial choreography and bust a move like they do in your favourite music video. Age appropriate music & choreography ALWAYS used.
ACRO for Dance
A style of dance that combines acrobatic skills to enhance balance, flexibility and strength. Acro for Dance is an especially challenging dance genre requiring strong technical training in both the dance & Acro fields. While it shares some ‘tricks’ with gymnastics, its technique is much more ‘dance’ specific. Therefore ACRO requires an enrolment into a JAZZ class.
Technique
Combining Classical Ballet, Yoga & Pilates, this class works primarily on technical dance elements, flexibility, stability and extension work. For those who love their barre, centre & corner work. This style enhances dancers’ overall ability across EVERY style.
