Jazz: ages 5 - adult
Jazz is based on ballet technique but is a more informal and relaxed style of dance - though still requiring the same amount of discipline, technique and musicality. It ranges from Broadway style to a more commercial style of dance, and can be danced to a variety of music styles, making it very versatile.

Tap: ages 6 - adult
This is a percussive style of dancing. It's name comes from the tapping sound made when the metal plates on the student's shoes touch a hard surface. Students are taught the basics and techniques of tap - this enhances coordination and rhythm. Our tap lessons are choreographed to the latest music and tapping trends.
