Dance Classes

Our dance-based classes are taught under the ISTD DFR syllabus. The syllabus not only gives the classes structure and ensures the children’s technique develops safely and appropriately for their age, but it also allows us to enter students for examinations.​​​

 

Our dance-based classes cover all dance styles C2 has to offer, including: Disco Freestyle, Rock N Roll, Lyrical, Street, Stamina & Stretch.​

 

Students in our Dance 2gether Programme have examination, competitive and performance opportunities and so much more!​Learn more about our Acro classes here.​

Acro

Acrobatics is commonly referred to as the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and acrobatics elements. This style focuses on body contortion and tricks that defy the centre of gravity. Whereas gymnasts execute in straight lines, dancers aim to fit Acrobatics elements seamlessly into their choreography without stopping in-between tricks. A.L.A.D offers this style under AcroTrix syllabus.

Slow Lyrical

Lyrical dance is a dance style that embodies various aspects of ballet, jazz, acrobatics and modern dance. It clearly displays moods of emotion and illustration of song lyrics. The style is usually danced at a faster pace than ballet, but not as fast as Jazz. This dance style is very popular! A.L.A.D offers this style under ISTD Syllabus & ADFP Syllabus. ISTD & Open events are attended at competition level.

Stamina & Stretch

All classes include stamina and stretch. This is the foundation for A.L..A.D to promote good stamina and mobility throughout the body to avoid fatigue, which is the main cause of injury for dancers. Tendons and joints are likely to be overworked in performances or competitions if dancers miss high intensity and conditioning warm ups. Class stretches and warm ups are continuously updated and engaging to keep it motivational and fun for all students. You will be holding a 10 minute plank in no time!
