BALLET

Ballet classes are the critical foundation of all dance styles. Ballet improves strength, agility, flexibility, and balance, while increasing the students' focus and body awareness. In this class students are taught to use proper posture, poise, and to present themselves in a graceful manner. All RDC ballet classes are based on the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) graded syllabus, which promotes a strong understanding of ballet technique and is the largest examination and teacher training syllabus in the world.

JAZZ

Jazz is a fun, upbeat class combining technical elements and creativity, all while increasing flexibility, strength and musicality. Jazz tends to be a faster paced dance form performed to popular music, new and old. Instructors teach the art of performance along with challenging each dancer. This class is a great way to improve dancers' coordination and build their cardiovascular levels in an energetic and performance based setting. Students enrolled in a Jazz class are strongly encouraged to enrol in Ballet.

ACROBATICS

With a focus on concentration, balance, flexibility and control, students will work on strengthening their bodies to perform a variety of skills such as head/ hand stands, back bridges, cartwheels, and aerials.

HIP HOP

Hip Hop encompasses movement with punch and style. Often popular music is used to encourage students to loosen up and explore their inner swag! This upbeat class is a great workout where students can have fun, gain confidence, and channel their inner Diva or Gangsta. Students will learn all aspects and styles within Hip Hop from Breaking to House. If you are looking for something light and fun then this is a class you do not want to miss.

TAP

Tap is an old-school dance form. It is characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion to create different sounds and rhythms. Theatre is a fun upbeat class that combines elements of acting and jazz dance technique to develop the ultimate performer. Having a combined Tap & Theatre is the perfect blend of two old school vibrant styles. This class is a fun, upbeat setting that helps improve musicality and performance. Students enrolled in a Tap class are strongly encouraged to also enrol in Jazz.

LYRICAL / CONTEMPORARY

Lyrical dance typically displays slower movements which incorporate technique and flexibility. With its foundation firmly placed in the Ballet world, a variety of Jazz-like movements are used to showcase strength and control while the dancer tells a story through movement. It is a “free-er” moving discipline with emphasis on strong technique.
