Teen In Steppers
Our Teen In Steppers can also train in the styles of Street, Jazz and Contemporary dance. This is our most advanced age group although we still take beginners at this age. Everyone from 12-18yrs is welcome!
Street
Class Time: Monday’s 7pm - 8pm
Our Street classes develop the foundation of Street dance fundamentals. We pull elements from all styles of Street such as Popping, Locking, House, Funk, Krumping, Hip-Hop, Commercial and Breakdance. We have built a curriculum for Street dance classes with a strong focus on developing strength and flexibility throughout a variety of Street dance styles mixing elements of all styles in our choreography.
Jazz
Class time: Wednesday 5pm - 6pm
We start with a technical warm up to improve our strength and flexibility followed by traveling work and centre work consisting of turns, kicks and leaps. We then work on choreography which is either a new combination or show work which includes all the traditional, funky Jazz moves. In Step Jazz classes are sure to leave our dancers feeling great and full of life. These classes are suited for mixed ability.
Contemporary
Class time: Wednesday’s 6pm - 7pm
Our Contemporary classes are made up of a combination of Cunningham, Graham, Limon and Release contemporary styles. Through these influences, we work on a variety of technique exercises and traveling sequences. We then put the techniques we have learned into lyrical choreography. We work mainly to modern music where we encourage every dancer to express themselves and develop their musicality.
Choreography
Class time: Wednesday’s 7pm - 7:45pm
InIn this class we offer the opportunity for our dancers to work on Contemporary pieces in the way that they are created in the professional dance world. Each dancer is encouraged to get in touch with their individual way of movement, interpreting what is given to them in their own way. Dancers learn to be confident by working in small groups teaching each other and creating their own movement. They soon learn that producing their own work isn’t as daunting as it first seems. Each part of their own choreography is well structured by the choreographer so no dancer will be stuck or free from ideas. Many magical moments and a love of dance are sparked in this class.
