CLASSES ON OFFER

  • If your child is constantly cart-wheeling, doing tumbles and handstands then this is the class for them! With a focus on strength and stretch as well as floor acrobatics, this dance style will suit those with explosive amounts of energy. Acrobatics will teach your children a variety of skills including cartwheels, back arches, splits and handstands. This could eventually include more difficult skills including walkovers, round offs, hand springs, tumbling and aerials. A combination of solo, group and partner work will be included.

  • Jazz offers a technical base for every dancer that aids flexibility, posture and strength. With up to the minute choreography and syllabus work, the ATOD jazz syllabus is a fun way to learn jazz. The new and innovative A.T.O.D jazz moves syllabus encompasses many styles such as Broadway, Musical Theatre, Funk and Lyrical to name a few.

  • A more freestyle form of dance, Hip Hop is an arena for dancers to incorporate their own style and flavour. With this in mind, there is still a focus on correct technique including body placement and alignment. This is complemented with our Hip Hop Teacher’s up to the minute choreography.

  • Ballet is a wonderful form of exercise and an opportunity to develop many skills necessary in life. The study of ballet helps in the development of self-confidence as well as many other benefits including increased flexibility, better posture, toning and strengthening of muscles, sweating out toxins, and many more. Whether you are looking for an after-school activity for your child, or a way to get some exercise, ballet has many benefits for both boys and girls of any age.

Students not participating in the first class will need to be able to undertake a quiet activity (like homework or reading) whilst they are waiting.
Pick up location will be arranged & teachers will be wearing Dance Energy clothes and mark the names of students. Students waiting will be observed by the Class Assistant.

  • PRAISE FROM OUR COMMUNITY

    It was fantastic to see you perform tonight. A great idea to incorporate your own dance group into the show and so good that your pupils could watch. I know Cayley really enjoyed seeing you dance… And us parents did too! 🙂 A big congrats to you and your team for putting together such an amazing concert. It’s obvious that so much time, effort and dedication has gone into it…exquisite costumes, a bit of drama to set the scene, the venue, great photos, not to mention all your choreography and the assistance given to us inexperienced mums showing us how to do the hair, make-up, etc (I was really nervous about that at first but it has been a great experience). So well organised from start to finish and an absolute delight to watch. Our family that came to watch with us tonight said that they thoroughly enjoyed it and they have been through many of their own children’s concerts.

    We can’t wait to see what next year holds in store. Cayley always looks forward to her lessons and knows exactly when they are, so I thought I’d better tell her that after the concert you’re having a holiday until after Christmas, then she’ll see you for dancing again. And she gave me her very sad face look and said “I’m going to miss Dancing Claire when she’s on holiday, Mum!”

    We would definitely recommend Dance Energy to anyone whose child has a love of dance, whether they are a toddler or a teen! Our two daughters look forward to going to dance every week, and come home from classes buzzing with excitement! Claire and the Dance Energy team have provided such self confidence, happiness, and beautiful friends for our girls. They have provided amazing opportunities, wonderful dance tuition, experiences and memories that our family will treasure forever. Dance Energy is such a warm, welcoming and fun family environment. We would like to thank Claire, Jan and the whole Dance Energy team for their continual positive guidance and support. You are truly amazing. Dance Energy Rocks!!!
