Jazz
Our jazz program is a mixture of many things that just keeps evolving – cabaret, musicals, film, video clips and ballet. Influences include: Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Bob Fosse & Michael Jackson. From Broadway to Hip Hop, Jazz incorporates just about anything.
Hip-Hop
Hip-hop is a dance style, usually danced to hip-hop music that evolved from street/pop culture. The first dance associated with hip-hop was breakdancing. While breakdancing consists primarily of moves executed close to the ground, the majority of hip-hop moves are done standing up. Hip-hop is high energy and loads of fun.
Tap
Tap is back and cooler than ever with a new style, ‘street tap’. With its origins going back to to 19th century America the style evolved from African and Irish American dance forms. Tap Dance sky rocketed through the early and mid 20th Century, only to be re-imagined in the 80’s by the multi talented singer, actor and dancer Gregory Hines. Today, a new generation of tappers has emerged with Australia’s own Dein Perry taking it to a new level.
