When especially committed & gifted dancers, performers & community members enter the team, we take very real delight
in supporting them to realise new & thrilling heights...
This is where the hard work, encompassing challenges in all its forms - creates remarkable rewards for your teenager.
This program was built not ONLY to foster and develop dance & performance skills at their highest level - but to nurture new leaders within our community, who grasp the opportunity to become mentors & role models with both hands & strive for excellence.
They will not only continue to pursue their own dance & performance related goals, but will start to see the bigger picture of how their commitment to achieving goals & being a cheerleader for your community, can truly enrich & uplift their life.
They will receive not only the high level training they have come to know, expect & respect,
but they will also begin training to take the next step into roles filled with responsibility & professionalism.
This is where performance dreams truly DO take flight,
& where their hunger for MORE finally starts to
become a sensationally exciting and real prospect.
CLASSES OFFERED
Jazz & Hip Hop....This style of dance is fun and energetic! It features a mixture of sharp and fluid movements, popping & locking and animated expression similar to dances seen on commercial video clips. These are fun, 'freestyle' type of classes. Basic foundational elements of ballet are incorporated to enhance Jazz styles, and fitness and strength are highlighted for Hip Hop - making it an all round perfect class for everyone!
Modern, Lyrical, Contemporary Graceful, Elegant, Interpretive... Modern dance is a style that centres more on the dancers interpretation of music and steps, using the dancers emotions to portray the "story" of the dance. Contemporary dance blends elements of multiple dance styles and lets dancers express emotionally through movements & breath. Ballet technique is central in this class to ensure these skills are built and strengthened.
Basic Movement, Deportment and Acting! Let’s do BROADWAY! Steeped in jazz technique, this class is also aimed at giving your dancer a character they can depict, all to music. Think “Hairspray”, “Singing in the Rain” and “Grease”! Your dancer will develop all important confidence and techniques in deportment as well as plenty of drama games and opportunities to bring out their inner “Drama Queen” (or King!)
One of Our Specialities! Tap dancers use their tap shoes to use their feet like drums, creating amazing rhythmic patterns. It is a great class for encouraging coordination skills and can be quite vigorous, improving your fitness levels. Galaxy students have the option of completing examinations from the Glenn Wood Tap Syllabus.
Learn to take on another character, tell their story, and fall into a world where creativity and idea sharing is KEY! We have classes in Drama basics, as well as Musical Theatre Productions yearly.
