Classical Ballet R.A.D
Classical Ballet is a great foundation for all forms of dance. Ballet students are very adaptable to other styles of dance. We follow the Royal Academy of Dance Syllabus as it is one of the only syllabuses that is internationally recognized. R.A.D caters for both Girls and Boys. These classes can also be taken to improve general technique for other styles of dance. It is highly recommended that all ballet students participate in at least two ballet classes per week to fully gain the understanding & development of this discipline
R.A.D Exams
Students who take exams improve dramatically and feel great. Confidence is always increased when students begin to see their own merits and that their hard work has paid off. Exams are optional and two classes of R.A.D ballet are required for this process. Exams are held annually towards the end of July. All DDTP students have had a 100%pass rate in R.A.D examinations.
Jazz/Funk/HipHop (JFH) Is a fusion of the standard dances styles of Jazz, Funk & Hip Hop. Giving students the best of all three energetic styles in the one class, the combination of grounding jazz technique with adaptability to the branching styles of funk & hiphop gives students the creative edge. These classes are sharp, dynamic, funky and Fun!
Contemporary
Contemporary dance is an amalgam of systems; it defines forms as dance theatre, physical theatre,contact improvisation, video & modern dance. Our contemporary is a mixture of world famous techniques including cunningham and Graham, infused with our own innovative flare. These classes are very creative, expressive & dynamic.
Musical Theatre
Musical theatre is a class for those who wish to further develop their performance and theatre skills. The class develops acting skills, singing skills, voice projection, script reading, blocking and theatre sports. Students in this class will participate in our mid year Musical & end of year concert.
Tiny Tots - Pre-School Class
The pre-school class combines ballet and jazz and runs for 45mins. Our program is full of imagination and creativity for 2-4year olds girls and boys. We specialise in developing gross motor skills, an appreciation of rhythm and timing, musical awareness, movement & grace. This class is lots of fun and a great foundation for little people.
Performance Troupe
Our Performance troupes represent our school at eisteddfods and other events. These classes cater for those dancers who particularly enjoy performing and would like the opportunity to be on stage multiple times throughout the year, and not just at our end of year concerts. Our Troupes have won numerous awards and are now nationally recognised as exemplary performers. Troupe members must participate in at least one other Jazz class per week and must audition for a position in the troupe.
Private Coaching
Private coaching offers students the opportunity to further improve their dance technique & to master solo routines. These one-on-one classes give students the chance to have their dancing personally assessed & to focus on specific areas of their dance. Students are welcome to book private coaching sessions with a teacher of their choice. For bookings, please phone our office.
Life Coaching
Director Kate Histon also brings her Life Coaching profession to the dance school and is available for individual sessions with students who want to develop & improve their self-regard, esteem & relationship with their dancing. Her work has been known to help many dancers overcome their fears in performance work, as well as equipping them with general life skills.
