Our jazz classes emphasize body conditioning, with a focus on stretching, core technique, and dynamic dance styles. Fun and hard work define the experience as pupils build skills and confidence. Suitable for all ages, students can pursue UKADance jazz exams.
Contemporary dance is underpinned by both ballet and jazz technique and is being delivered to our junior pupils for the first time in 2025/6!
Another dance style that we explore with our jazz dancers is hip hop demonstrated here in our Dreams show.
Lyrical dance is a very graceful form of dance, which crucially aligns with the words as well as the ethos of the music.
Our P1-3 jazz dancers study exercises and dances from the UKADance preliminary syllabi designed to develop strength, flexibility and musicality.
Junior pupils follow the early levels of the UKADance graded syllabi developing strength and flexibility and tackling a range of dance styles from musical theatre to hip hop.
Senior pupils explore the higher levles of the UKADance syllabi, up to Grade 8 and develop a broader range of dance styles including lyrical, contemporary, and very recently, the Charleston.
