| Primary Ballet focuses on enhancing and refining skills learnt in lower levels as well as introducing students to new steps and techniques. Exercises are based on arm and feet positions, proper body placement, control and coordination, musicality and self expression. Using a mixture of barre, floor and centre exercises, travelling steps, and allegro exercises students being to develop a broader spectrum of dance. The recently updated R.A.D Primary syllabus uses a modern take on classical music and encourages a love of ballet through self expression and story telling skills. It moves students away from the stuffy old traditions of ballet and into the wonderful world of dance.
Primary Tap/Jazz is a combination class that allows students to learn simple Jazz and Tap moves as well as routines to modern music. The class includes a warm-up to help the dancer prepare for the more complex steps ahead and encourages flexibility and general acrobatic skills. Jazz exercises help develop balance, strength, and stability, while Tap exercises develop rhythm and musicality. Age and style appropriate music are used to help develop a real sense of style and of course enjoyment!
