CLASSES
Classes available include, Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap, Contemporary, Stretch Leap Spin & our pre school class Twinkle Toes.
For the younger dancer, Rosette levels 1, 2, and 3 are a great introduction to dance exams, giving them the confidence and skills to later perform in an examination setting without the teacher. Students receive a Rosette presented by the examiner and a report card with comments on their performance.
Minimum age requirements for different genres are listed below.
Older students perform their exams in a disciplined examination environment, receiving a report card with a percentage grade and a certificate to follow.
New students, please discuss with Amy or Jo which class is the best level to start.
