Genre Breakdown

Ballet, Modern & Tap (Combo) 

Our junior classes from Nursery to Grade 2 may include Ballet, Tap and Modern styles combined. These will then separate out as dancers progress.

Ballet 

We use ISTD syllabus for our ballet classes and students work towards their exams. Advanced classes are often free-work based and set by the teacher.

Progressing Ballet Technique
A unique body conditioning syllabus where dancers utilise yoga balls, bands and blocks through ballet and pilates-based exercises to develop strength, alignment and flexibility to develop classical technique.

Jazz/ Modern
Our jazz classes cover all modern styles, including musical theatre jazz, lyrical jazz, commercial jazz and contemporary jazz. Our classes include flexibility, travelling, turns, leaps, floor-work, artistry, improv, group work and development of technique and understanding across a variety of dance styles. At Advanced Level this class often includes learning a routine.

Contemporary – These classes develop pure contemporary technique to develop a more mature understanding of contemporary dance. Dancers can expect to work on floorwork, improvisation, breath, weight and flow. Influenced by the Rambert Grades syllabi.

BDC Youth (Contemporary Company) – For dancers from year 10 and up who want to progress their dance further. This class will develop mature contemporary and creative dance techniques. Dancers will often work to create a piece for local Youth Platforms or video projects, often being involved in the creative process to devise their own choreography and improvisation.

Tap
Dancers who enjoy tap and continue to progress may take their ISTD exams. A classic style seen in musical theatre and the most rhythmical style of dance.

Tap Rep
An advanced weekly free tap class learning different tap repertoire. For inter/adv level tappers age 13+.

Acro
Using Acrobatic Arts syllabus, dancers work to develop strength, flexibility, limbering, balance and tumbling technique. The syllabus is specifically designed to develop the aesthetic qualities of dance. Please bring your own acro mat.

Street
Learning a variety hiphop/street styles and techniques, and also often working towards performances.

Commercial
A weekly routine-based class developing technique in commercial dance styles. Featuring current music and a variety of styles/techniques seen in commercial pop music, tiktok etc.

Troupe
Our weekend classes bring a performing troupe of dancers together for limbering, strength, conditioning, technique and work on creating dance pieces to be performed at Festivals and Competitions. Often these are in jazz, lyrical, modern or contemporary styles.
