CLASS TYPES
AGED 4-18 YEARS
BALLET, MODERN & TAP
Our Dance Classes are held in Epsom from Monday to Saturday. Classes are progressive and students move through the grades following the IDTA syllabus as they grow more experienced.
​
These classes are taught separately but conveniently held one after another wherever possible to make it easy for students to study more than one dance style. These class combinations are also charged as a package so you pay for the time spent in class rather than by style.
​
From aged 3 to 4 children will be in our Little Stars classes and will learn a combination of Ballet, Tap and Modern in their classes. At this level students follow the Preparatory IDTA syllabus.
​
From aged 4 to 6 children will be in our Rising Stars classes and will learn a combination of Ballet, Tap and Modern in their classes. At this level students follow the Preparatory IDTA syllabus.

Street and Commercial dance emerged in the 1950s as a way for dancers to push against the strict constraints of traditional styles such as ballet and be free to experiment. Dancing to modern music, commercial dance incorporates moves from all genres including jazz, ballet, hip hop, breakdance, popping and krumping. With street dance becoming ever the more popular, it is constantly evolving and broadening to include new popular moves.​
