BARBARA EASTON DANCE STUDIO
CLASS DESCRIPTION + AGE LEVELS
Our team of passionate and experienced instructors are dedicated to nurturing the love of dance in every student. We are committed to providing a supportive and inspiring environment for all dancers.
PRE SCHOOL 2.5-4.5 YRS
During their 40 minute class we dance with props such as tambourines, rhythm sticks, a huge colourful parachute and long ribbon sticks. Our class starts with ballet, and includes pointing toes, bending and stretching, bunny jumps, fairy runs for girls and bees/aeroplanes for boys. They leave these shoes on for some funky jazz moves, danced to popular kids music such as the Wiggles, Hi-5, The Fairies and popular Top 40 hits. We then send them to you to change into their tap shoes, have a quick drink and a cuddle then back inside to start our tap dancing.
BALLET
Classical Ballet is the foundation for most styles of dance. Ballet taken in conjunction with other forms of dance will assist student in accomplishing dance goals quicker. We have ballet classes for beginners, juniors and seniors. We follow the BAL (Ballet Australasia Limited) Syllabus. Ballet training will improve your child's concentration, strength, discipline, grace and flexibility. Ballet includes barre work, centre work and steps.
TAP
Tap is about making music with your feet, it's a great workout, particularly for your legs. Tap classes will develop rhythm, style and sound. Students will learn a variety of tap styles from Broadway to Rhythm tap. Exercises focus on building flexibility of the knee and ankles, coordination, and speed of movement. Class emphasis is on developing proper tap technique, producing clear tap sounds, while having fun! Students wear shoes with metal tap plates.
