Ballet
Classical ballet is an exciting journey and serves as the foundation for many other dance styles. It teaches dancers grace, poise, artistry, self-expression, and creativity, while also instilling essential life skills such as discipline, focus, persistence, and self-confidence. Learning ballet can enhance lives in ways that extend far beyond the studio, regardless of age—whether you are in preschool, attending graded vocational classes, participating in adult recreational classes, or discovering dance later in life.
From your very first plié, each ballet class provides an opportunity to master balletic movements. Ballet training benefits not only your body but also your mind, empowering dancers to express themselves, explore their imaginations, and embark on a lifelong journey that improves their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Modern & Jazz
Modern and jazz dance is an energetic dance style characterised by fluidity, improvisation to modern music of many styles incorporating elements from ballet, contemporary, and musical theatre and with roots from such icons as Bob Fosse, Mat Mattox and many others. It can be fast and syncopated or lyrical, smooth, flowing and graceful.
We start modern in our preschool classes and children progress through ISTD graded class and exams. Those studying Modern ISTD graded classes need also to learn ballet with us. We also have Junior and Senior Jazz classes and Adult Commercial /Heels classes.
Tap
Tap is a rhythmic dance form making complex music with your feet, just like the famous Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly and the famous musicals such as 42nd Street and Tap Dogs.
You can Tap at any age at ACS, from age 3 in our Preschool to ISTD Graded and Advanced Vocational classes, or even in two separate levels of Adult Hobby Tap classes.
Ballroom & Latin
If “Strictly Come Dancing” has inspired you to make your own dance journey we have classes for you. In our Ballroom and Latin classes, we teach dancers to lead and follow one another. Whether the classic and social Ballroom dances of Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Quickstep and Viennese Waltz, or the vibrant Latin dances of Jive, Rumba, Cha Cha, Samba, Paso Doble and Salsa.
You can learn to dance at any age, we have group classes for preschool and older children as well as medalists and competitive dancers and social Adult classes for Beginners, Improvers and Experienced classes.
Acro
Acro is a blend of dance techniques with elements of gymnastics and acrobatics.
ACS is pleased to be certified in Acrobatic Arts by our qualified Acro Teacher.
The syllabus is designed with safe and careful progressions to take dancers through progressive levels to improve their flexibility, strength, balance and confidence to learn acrobatic movements such as chest rolls, log rolls, forward rolls, headstands, handstands, forward and backward walkovers, cartwheels, somersaults and eventually more advanced Tumbling.
The Acrobatic Arts syllabus was developed with input from professionals in Artistic Gymnastics, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Yoga, Pilates, Aerial, Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Contortion, and Physiotherapy.
Our acro classes are available for Students Aged 7 and upwards. Classes are based on age and ability level as the students progress, and our lessons have strict numbers limits.
Disco-Freestyle & Street
Freestyle is a modern, varied, and constantly evolving form of dance that takes into account popular trends and music, from Street and Hip-Hop to more commercial and pop backing dancer styles. It incorporates energetic movements and isolations, runs, spins, kicks and leaps, and arm and hand actions to popular music.
We also learn Rock and Roll in children’s classes. Freestyle can be learned at ACS from the preschool level and then progressed through medalist classes. Dancers can participate in competitions and take ISTD medalist exams.
