mini jazz/ballet + mini tap/musical theatre
With our little ones still adventuring the world of dance and figuring out what style of dance they enjoy most, our Mini classes allows our 4-5 year olds to learn the foundations in Jazz, Ballet, Tap and Musical Theatre in a fun environment! These two classes offer an introduction to 2 styles in 1 class, keeping the younger students engaged, and allowing them to experience a range of styles as they begin their dance journey!
Jazz
Jazz has become one of the most well known styles, recently made popular throughout movies, music videos and television shows. This is a fun and energetic class involving challenging footwork, turns and leaps. A good basis in Jazz allows dancers to easily adapt to a range of other dance styles.
ballet
Classical ballet instils a foundation of technique, strong posture & correct alignment. Working on the elongation of the muscles to form control of movement. Ballet is the foundation style, helping students to excel in all other areas of their dance classes. Our ballet classes are based on the R.A.D (Royal Academy of Dance) Syllabus.
contemporary
Contemporary is an expressive dance style developing techniques such as body alignment, contraction, release, suspension and centering. While many techniques are drawn from classical ballet, contemporary allows a greater range and fluidity of movement using the body’s natural lines and energy. This class is available for students from 8 years and up.
hip hop
Hip Hop is an upbeat and active class allowing dancers to explore their passion for dance in a comfortable environment.
tap
Tap dance is style of dance that is all about making music with your feet. Dancers wear metal plated shoes that when combined with technical foot movements create a dance involving percussion, rhythm and beats. Tap is a fun and lively class for all ages that improves timing, co-ordination, and musicality.
acrobatics
Acrobatics at CAPA is a fun, performance based art form that will enable students to develop an array of acrobatic tricks and skills. Students will focus on tumbling skills, balance skills, strength, core stability, flexibility and technique. All levels welcome.
musical theatre
Musical Theatre allows students to study the art of ‘Live Theatre’. Students are provided a broad range of tuition, developing techniques in dancing, singing and acting in the one class.
strength & conditioning
The foundation of all dance techniques are formed through flexibility, correct alignment, and controlled use of core stabilising muscles. Students in this class are shown skills for the correct use of the body, whilst also developing the strength & flexibility required for dance. These skills allow our dancers to safely and more accurately apply correct techniques to all styles of dance, enhancing their overall abilities.
