Non syllabus and syllabus methods of teaching work in harmony to build the foundations and skills necessary for future success.
BALLET
ACADEMY
5-13yrs
PETIT ACADEMY is an excellent program for children aged 5 & 6. Free movement, story ballet, stretching and conditioning and a touch of musical theatre is incorporated into the lessons on a weekly basis. As they progress they will have the opportunity to learn a syllabus created by the Bbodance organisation. Children learn how to conduct themselves correctly as the class structure becomes more formalised while still nurturing a life long passion for dance.
JUNIOR BALLET ACADEMY 1-(7-8yrs), 2-(9-10yrs) & 3-(11-12yrs). An integral part of the Junior Academy Program is the incorporation of Open Ballet Technique. This enables students to develop the cognitive skills required for correct muscular and mental development at a tailored pace. Dance Central recognises that only teaching exercises from a syllabus can overshadow certain essential areas of balletic training during this crucial period. Stretching/Conditioning and Acro is incorporated and is an important part of the program, Pre-Point training becomes an important focus in level 3. This combination will help students be the best dancer they can be.
