Jazz dance is a style of theatrical dance performed to popular music. We teach our jazz students the ADA syllabus, which is based on technical dance principles. Jazz classes will help students to improve their technique, body strength, flexibility and coordination.
The ADA Jazz syllabus is comprehensive and also includes styles such as musical theatre, hip hop, lyrical and contemporary. Students will study each grade level for approximately 12-18 months to work towards completing their exam. Exams are optional.
Get your toes tapping!
Made popular during the 20th Century, this appealing dance style still has its place in the modern world. Learning tap dancing is ideal for young children who just love to dance and perform.
Mastering this style of dance can help with coordination, rhythm, musicality and agility. Classes are designed to suit primary schoolers and are always enjoyable!
Ballet is an artistic dance form incorporating set steps and movements danced very gracefully.
Students learn the Cecchetti method to develop their strength and technique according to ballet principles. Studying ballet will help students to improve their musicality and presentation in all dance styles, as well as their overall posture, coordination and discipline.
We encourage all students to take at least one ballet class per week to improve posture and technique required for other styles.
Does your little one love to dance around the loungeroom expressively and with lots of dramatic emotion?
Lyrical Ballet is a great class for those beginning students who want to try Ballet and also love to express themselves.
Movements in Lyrical Ballet are characterised by fluidity and grace, and powerful, expressive songs are used to express a range of emotions.
Students will learn classical ballet technique through fun, engaging and age appropriate activities and music. Some of our students’ favourites include the classics from FROZEN and THE GREATEST SHOWMAN
Hip Hop is a style of street dance incorporating a variety of popping, locking and breaking.
Our Hip Hop classes allow the students to explore their own hip-hop style to popular music, keeping the students engaged and working together. Hip-hop dance is a great tool to develop improvisation and choreographing skills, and also to experience audition style choreography.
Acrobatics is an art of dance incorporating balance, agility and motor coordination. In this class, students will learn basic gymnastic floor work and tumbling for stage performance.
Teachers at Goodhew Dance hold qualifications with Acrobatic Arts.
Emphasis is placed on strengthening and improving flexibility, both very important principles for all styles of dance. The class is based on the Acrobatic Arts syllabus, with students learning tricks including forward and backward rolls, cartwheels, handstands, walkovers, handsprings, backflips and somersaults and more in a safe environment.
