Class Overview

Below is a brief description of some of the classes on offer this year at Dance Elite Studios.

Rad Classical Ballet

Classical ballet helps to develop strength and fitness, flexibility, body awareness, co-ordination and is also the foundation of all other dance styles. The Royal Academy of Dance syllabus is a graded, carefully structured program of the highest standard. The RAD is the worlds largest classical examining/training body and the syllabus includes classical/free movement and character work.

Commercial Jazz

This style of dance is often seen in music video clips, and contains elements of street dance and hip hop. If you are looking for fun and fitness this is definitely the class, suitable for all students from beginner to advanced. This style uses the moves and technical training of jazz, the grounded elements of hip hop, and the rhythms and movements of funk to make for a great fun work out.

Lyrical / Contemporary

This class challenges dancers to use motion to interpret music and express emotion. This style places heavy emphasis on the connection between the mind and body, this class is very expressive and allows students to discover body awareness.

Petites - Ballet/Jazz & Acro Classes (3-4 yrs)

These classes are such a great introduction to Acro, Jazz and Ballet! All class genres emphasise learning gross and fine motor skills, following verbal direction and an introduction to dance and fitness. Our petites learn movement games, simple stretches and simple and creative dances in each style on offer. This is a great way to introduce children to the world of dance, learning through imagery and props. A lot of fun to be had in this class!!

Private Tuition

For students wanting to compete in eisteddfods, preparing for exams or simply wanting to improve their skills and ability this class is a one on one experience.

Acrobatic Arts

The acrobatic arts program is based on safe and effective progressions in divisions of AcroDance which include: Flexibility, Strength, Balancing, Contortion, Limbering and Tumbling.
The Acrobatic Arts Curriculum is recognised for the best techniques and progressions for students to learn correctly and safely. Cirque du Soleil has even given its stamp of approval!
Our Acrobatic arts teachers are fully certified and understand how to properly introduce skills with excellent technique in a safe and fun environment!
Our teachers are able to analyse students with the state of the art apps and our students will also receive progress charts in each level to help motivate them to achieve their goals!

Glenn Wood Tap

Founded by Glenn Wood with a vision to revolutionise tap dance education, GWT has established itself as a leader in providing an engaging, comprehensive tap dance syllabus and a rewarding examination process. Their mission is to enrich lives through the art of tap dance, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone, from the youngest enthusiasts to the most advanced performers.

Tiny Dancer/ Tumbler Program (18 months +)

Our mums or dads can be involved in all aspects of the class. This class includes : dancing, singing, skill development, free dancing, props and creative dance exploration. Props are a very integral element when teaching our little ones, as not only do they bring lovely smiles to the students and help make them feel comfortable, but they also play an important educational tool for developing an understanding of different movement qualities and dynamics in dance.

These classes provide an opportunity for talented and committed students to extend themselves and enjoy more performance experience. Students participate in Eisteddfods as well as special events and are representatives of Dance Elite. Students do need to qualify and audition for this class.
