Classes offered at Footlights

 Modern - For this class we follow a syllabus set by the ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing) to work towards examinations from grades pre-primary - grade 6 (at present). Free work is added from time to time to encourage different styles and movements. The syllabus uses exercises that focus on specific areas to build different skills and strength that is needed when performing.

 Tap - This class also follows a syllabus set by the ISTD to work towards examinations in the same way as modern. The exercises in this syllabus break down different movements and teach techniques needed when tackling more challenging steps and combinations of rhythm.

 Jazz Dance - This class encourages a much more free form of dance adapting to the children within the class rather than the children learning set pieces, allowing the use of more familiar moves and music and the class can have much more input as to what is done each week including their own choreography.

 Musical Theatre - This class covers a combination of drama, singing and movement. Learning songs developing them adding movement to set the scene. We also study drama and improvisation covering a wide range of subjects and linking our songs together.

Please note examinations mentioned above are optional and in now way compulsory in any area.
