Rosettes Dance
Classes (3-5 years) |
| For our younger pre-school children, this
class introduces movement, co-ordination and musicality in a fun
environment.
The children use their imaginations in role playing, which leads to mime and acting. They dance with a partner and learn to move as part of a group. There are normally two or three rosette groups on offer, and the teacher will assign your child to the one most suited to their needs and ability. The main focus of these classes is to have fun and are enjoyed by the children as well as the teachers who take them! |

Prejuvenile Class |
The reception aged student begins preparation for the more complex study of Ballet, Tap, Modern Jazz and Theatre Craft. The dance vocabulary expands and fine motor skills are rapidly increasing. The teaching emphasis is on the continuation of the natural expressiveness of the very young child. A sense of fantasy meets with teacher approval. Our classes are FUN and the enthusiasm of our teachers makes the learning of dance a joy for the students. Two or three more rosettes are taken which culminates in the whole class taking the Prejuvenile Group Award. |
