Ballet Ballet is a poised style of dance which uses core strength and provides the foundational techniques for many other dance forms. This genre of dance requires much practice. We offer fun introductory ballet classes for pre-school children i.e. Ballet Babes and thereafter students follow the ISTD Syllabus from Pre- Primary to Advanced with the option of taking exams throughout.	Tap Tap requires the dancer to use their feet to strike the floor, beating out different rhythms, with dancers wearing tap shoes which have small metal plates on the toe and heel to give the distinctive sound. Tap dance is a theatrical art form often seen on stage in musicals. Students follow the ISTD Syllabus and classes are offered from age 4 upwards through to Adult classes. Exams can also be taken from Primary upwards.
