Class Descriptions

Classical Class

The structure of these classes focuses on developing classical ballet technique, providing students with a core understanding of this discipline. This includes a knowledge of ballet vocabulary and technical execution, ensuring a secure foundation is built. The sessions target specific elements associated with strengthening the body and developing safe practice. Presentation and dance quality is inherent throughout this class, with the final stages focusing on developing musicality, characterisation and dance performance skills. We believe this approach allows students to establish a broad understanding of this discipline and to develop a love for this type of movement, allowing us to nurture their individual development. 

​

Theatre Class

These sessions introduce students to theatre dance training specifically covering modern and tap techniques. This includes correct body alignment, stamina and core technique, all of which is developed within each students’ capabilities and physical range. They can improve their coordination skills and challenge their ability to adapt to different styles. Presentation skills is key to these sessions, with the final stage focusing on developing versatility through performance sequences.  Please note, this class is split at Junior 3 and Inter 1 Level into separate Modern & Tap classes.

​Jazz Class

FUSE Jazz classes explore various techniques and develop the skills this discipline has to offer. Jazz dance will support the classical and theatre training and expand on movement vocabulary. By breaking down specific movements we challenge our dancers, developing core skills including kicks, turns, leaps and jumps. Combination steps and corner work improve coordination and ability to link movements with ease. Our students have freedom to explore their individual styles through a variety of routines and choreographic work in a fun, safe and encouraging environment.
