Classical Ballet

The Dance Workshop recommends that children start their dance training with Classical Ballet Classes. These classes geared at children aged 3 and 4 years, focus on imagination, musicality and creativity. The following year, children will start to work on basic ballet training and they will be introduced to the formal build-up of the ballet class. Classes for older students are generally syllabus oriented (Cecchetti Method) and several non-syllabus classes are available. Students in the higher grades will be introduced to complementary training namely fitness and stretching as well as pas de deux and repertoire.

Contemporary Dance

Children aged ten years and over, as well as young adults trying out Contemporary Dance Classes will enjoy the challenge of these invigorating classes, which focus on overall fitness and creativity. Contemporary dance developed during the mid-twentieth century and has since grown to become one of the most important dance genres for formally trained dancers. Contemporary dance technique focuses on combining strong and controlled legwork together with use of the upper body and torso. Contact improvisation, contract and release, floor work and fall and recovery are some of the main characteristics of contemporary dance.
