By now, you’ll really be getting the most out of your body, perhaps even innovating the dance world as you go!

Posture and awareness of your body in space
Co-ordination of arms / feet / head
Combinations
Perform a selection of short fundamental choreographies from steps learnt.
Centring and floor exercises and stretches
Posture and simple technical exercises
Footwork combinations
Travelling steps
Co-ordination of arms / feet / head in short combinations
Practice dances
End of term presentations

Something to Think About

It’s an active class so there’s one or two extras we need you to buy for a dance class.

Women: Comfortable tracksuit, jazz pants that you can stretch in.

Men: Comfortable tracksuit, jazz pants that you can stretch in.

Don’t forget to bring a bottle of water too.
