In this jazz dance class, dancers typically begin with a warm-up that includes stretching exercises to improve flexibility, strength-building exercises, and isolations to develop body control and coordination. The warm-up is followed by across-the-floor exercises, where dancers practice various jazz steps, turns, jumps, and combinations while moving across the dance floor.

The core of the class is usually dedicated to learning and practicing jazz dance routines or choreography. Dancers explore a variety of jazz styles, including classic jazz, Broadway jazz, contemporary jazz, lyrical jazz, and funk jazz. They learn different movement qualities such as sharp, syncopated movements, fluid and expressive motions, and intricate footwork.

In this commercial jazz class, dancers learn a fusion of dance styles. They develop a strong technical foundation in jazz technique, including isolations, turns, leaps, and intricate footwork. The class emphasizes the importance of musicality and performance quality, training dancers to connect their movements with the rhythm and energy of the music.

We will also learn choreography that is characteristic of commercial dance, exploring dynamic routines with a focus on precision, athleticism, and versatility. They are exposed to a wide range of choreographic styles, including street jazz, funk, and urban dance, which are commonly seen in music videos and stage performances.

Contemporary Dance is an expressive style which combines a number of other different dance genres to produce a unique and entertaining performance. Contemporary is created by a combination of modern dance, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. It gives all of the students the freedom to express themselves as well as tell stories, show themes and display emotions through the medium of dance.

The Contemporary Dance Classes at 815 Performing Arts embody all of these aspects and are built upon a strong focus on technique. We follow the IDTA syllabus exercises for examinations and technique alongside using themed choreography in classes. Contemporary is a powerful dance style that can move an audience and make a statement. Within the classes at 815 Performing Arts, we always ensure we teach students about technique, power, flexibility and musicality.

Contemporary Dance is a great class for anybody who loves to dance and for those who want to explore their emotions and creativity.

Ballet is where it all began.

Originally from the 15th Century and used as a court dance in Italy, Ballet is now one of the most graceful and popular dance styles showcased by companies all around the world. It is the most internationally recognised dance style and has strong syllabus content.

We at 815 Performing Arts follow the internationally recognised IDTA Ballet syllabus, which teaches the students strength, grace, poise, control and concentration as well as giving them an understanding of their own body and strong technical ability. Ballet has and always will be a foundation for all dance styles and learning ballet benefits every other dance style. With Ballet, the more you learn, the more you can see the links for yourself.

At 815 Performing Arts, we believe in the foundation and the importance of Ballet. Our Ballet classes are just as fun and engaging as the other classes we offer. We are firm believers that Ballet does not have to be a serious, uninteresting or daunting journey to perfection. We train our dancers to the highest standard while maintaining an enjoyable and fun environment.

We are passionate and love what we do which transfers onto our students too!
