Classes

We run classes in Ballet, Tap and Modern which is designed for everyone to have fun, exercise and learn lots of techniques and choreography. The classes are designed around the abilities of the class and to improve and enhance their abilities and knowledge.

This dance class introduces elements of ballet through the use of stories, music, and props. The first ballet steps are taught but the focus is on fun.

Ballet is a classical subject teaching grace, poise, strength and technique. This subject is the foundation for all dance styles. Starlight offers Ballet for all ages with classes graded by age and ability.

A fun and sociable class aimed at pre-school age children and their parents. Introducing basic modern dance steps through music and stories.

While ballet teaches you to ‘pull up’, contemporary dance teaches how to relax and loosen up the body. A contemporary dance class is a great way to let go and express yourself through dance.

A fusion of ballet and jazz dance styles. Lyrical is strongly influenced by ballet as its flowing movements use the whole body and focus on extending the body’s lines. Dancers use emotion and movement to show the meaning of the music.

Modern dance helps students to increase their flexibility, improve posture, and grow stronger and more graceful. Modern dance uses up to date music and styles providing students an energetic and fun class.

Once students are ready and their feet are strong enough, they will be invited to take pointe lessons. This is where the dancer will stand on the tip of their toes in specifically designed shoes as part of their classical ballet technique training.

Tap helps students to develop rhythm, coordination and timing as well as allowing them to make music with their feet. Tap is available for all ages. Including Tiny Tappers for younger children.
