JUNIOR CLASSES
(11-12 Year olds)
Junior Jazz
Jazz is simply great fun, dancing to all your favourite songs you hear on the radio today. Every dancer at Nadine's Academy is encouraged to participate in at least one jazz class per week along with it's corresponding Dance KTL class.
Junior KLT (Kicks, Turns Leaps)
The perfect class to learn all the technical requirements of dance focusing on flexibility, strength and coordination. This class promotes safe dance practice and not only educates the students to the correct technique, but also builds the child's confidence as they gain the ability to execute moves such as kicks, leaps and turns with complete precision.
Junior Tap
This is the most rhythmic of the dance forms, is an excellent way to increase coordination of the mind and body and to develop a sense of rhythm, timing and expression.
Grade 3 Ballet
Students are encouraged to participate in Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) examinations and class awards. These are wonderful opportunities for students to extend themselves and to work towards attainable goals.
Students wishing to participate in the examination process are required to attend a minimum of two ballet lessons a week.
Junior Hip Hop
A stylised combination of street funk, hip hop and pop similar to styles seen in music video clips which in addition to being lots of fun, these classes are disciplined, progressive and well structured. It too focuses on lots of fun, confidence building and expression.
Junior Contemporary
Contemporary dance is one of our popular dance styles and is a particularly innovative way of moving the body. This form of dance has a very broad and creative vocabulary, and contains movements that are both static and dynamic, lyrical and athletic, that invert, twist expand, contract; pushing the boundaries of contemporary dance.
Junior Musical Theatre
This class focuses on training the ‘triple threat’ … voice, acting and dance. The musical theatre class will explore acting exercises, movement for musical theatre and singing. Students will learn songs and dances from popular Broadway shows of yesterday and today.
