Ballet
The first standardised dance form, ballet is the foundation of most other current dance forms. Students will develop grace, posture, body alignment, discipline and artistry.
We begin with Baby Ballet (Pre-Juvenile). Children begin this class from three years of age (even two if out of nappies!). Here the children have fun learning the first steps of ballet, dancing expressively to music, learning to point their toes, tip toe and catch falling stars.
Preparatory Ballet is where the syllabus work begins within the IDTA. This continues up through sequential grades through to professional level.
Contemporary
Contemporary is a lyrical movement style that expresses emotion and/or tells a story using any combination of ballet, jazz, modern technique.
Tap Dancing
This is an audible art from in which dancers create sound with their feet. This class will explore rhythm and timing while developing proper tap technique.
Is available from 4 years of age beginning at preparatory and reaches professional levels.
Gymnastics and Acro-Gymnastics
For children 4 and over, combination of dance technique and floor acrobatics creates this discipline. Flexibility, bends, stretches; strength of balance and aerial challenges such as back flips gives its breathtaking appearance. Take off in style!
Fit Kidz
Improve your child’s health and fitness as they learn basic movements and fitness steps. Move to the beat and keep up with the Fit Kidz!
Irish Dancing
Irish step dancing combines the entrancing rhythms of traditional Celtic music with the grace and energy of dance. They learn to dance in unison, developing patterns of traditional Celtic dances. Students work to achieve fundamental basic steps then progress to advanced reels.

Freestyle
Freestyle is a trendy and popular form of dance, and involves runs, spins, kicks as well as many other diverse steps and movements with lots of different arm and hands actions, the music can be fast and “beaty” and slow and stylised. Allowing dancers of all ages to use freedom of expression to enhance their own personal style.
Hip Hop
This energetic and popular dance style involves the whole body and is all about self expression, hip hop tends to be less structured than other dance forms as it is more about explosive movement than traditional technique.
Song and Dance
