Northampton Dance School Classes

Description of Classes

Acrobatics
An amazing combination of both classic dance techniques along with gymnastic acrobatics - a very exciting new discipline!

Ballet (classes for Tots, Inter and Junior)
Develop a good understanding of this classical technique. Includes posture, poise, elegance and flexibility. All these skills can be applied to all other types of dance.

Tap (Tots, Junior and Inter)
Gain a grounding in rhythm, synchronisation and technique. Listen to music and apply a certain rhythm time.

Disco (classes for Tots)
A very hyper form of dance to develop stamina, flexibility and rhythm. This type of dance is very enjoyable as it gives the children chance to "let go!!"

Street Jazz (classes for Junior, Inter and Senior)
