Dance

Kids & Teens

Dancing is a creative outlet that builds on student’s curious and explorative nature while improving their movement and teamwork. Participants gain a more positive perception of their bodies, an improved self-image, and a better grasp of who they are. The students at the Academy also work towards their own end-of-year performance, giving them an opportunity not only to train, but to perform.

LAPA

Ballet is the basis of all dance and is taught to create and reinforce flexibility, enhance posture, grace, poise, and educate the student with ballet terminology. Ballet benefits many kinds of dance styles and sports. It enhances alignment, equilibrium, strength and flexibility, and it is highly recommended to students who wish to have a strong foundation in any form of dance.

Our aim is to train and educate both motivated students who wish to become outstanding ballet professionals and recreational ballet dancers. We also offer classes to all who wish to integrate ballet as part of their core training, no matter what career path they may follow. The ballet training we offer utilises the syllabus of the Royal Academy of Dance and Vaganova syllabus. Our lessons are based on an integrated approach focusing on the balance between body, mind and soul in dance.
