Modern/Jazz and Tap are covered in our Top Juniors dance class. Learning performance and dance technique, students learn routines to both popular chart songs and songs from musicals.

Acro

Tuesdays 7.30-8.30pm at St Cyres School *Limited Spaces*

Acro is a style of dance that combines classical dance technique with precision acrobatic elements. It is defined by its athletic character, its unique choreography, which seamlessly blends dance and acrobatics, and its use of acrobatics in a dance context. Acro is not to be confused with gymnastics; both artistic and rhythmic which are sports that employ dance elements in a gymnastics context under the rules of a governing gymnastics organisation.

Junior Advanced Acro runs Tuesdays 4.30-5.30pm at St Cyres School – by invitation only.
