About Our Classes
Students now have a wonderful array of classes across multiple genres, which offers a broad and well-rounded dance education and experience. Modern and Tap lessons are now taught as separate genres focusing on working towards examinations with the ISTD, and private coaching classes are available to book for those wanting to work towards examinations in Ballet, Tap or Modern.
Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT)
Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is an innovative body-conditioning and strengthening program developed by Marie Walton-Mahon. One of the important elements used in the PBT method is muscle memory, which helps not only to improve students' understanding of core stability, weight placement and alignment but also to understand the depth of training muscle memory in achieving their personal best. PBT is a great class addition, and the students always love to learn with props and equipment.
Assessments and exams are offered across many of these genres, but deciding to take them is always optional.
