Modern focuses on strength, control and clean technique, giving dancers a solid foundation for styles like Jazz, Contemporary, Commercial and Street. At GDA we use the ISTD syllabus to guide training, while keeping the atmosphere warm, welcoming and inclusive for everyone.

Jazz is a lively, expressive style with loads of personality, and we encourage dancers to explore its many variations and roots. It’s brilliant for building technique, performance skills, confidence and stage presence — perfect for anyone who loves big energy and full-out fun.

Contemporary is all about expressive movement, creativity and finding new ways to use the body, while still building strong technique and control. In class, dancers get the chance to experiment, choreograph and discover their own style in a supportive, open environment.

Acro blends dance and acrobatics, teaching tricks and skills that flow smoothly in choreography — a little like gymnastics, but with its own style and technique. We follow the Acrobatic Arts syllabus to make sure training is progressive, safe and age-appropriate, helping dancers build strength, flexibility and confidence at a pace that’s right for them.

Musical Theatre brings together singing, acting and dancing - sometimes all at once - and is perfect for children who love performing. Classes explore scenes from shows and films, as well as creating their own pieces, helping dancers grow in confidence, expression and stage skills while having loads of fun.

Street is a high-energy, feel-good style that gets everyone moving, inspired by the original street styles that have shaped dance for decades. It’s expressive, fun and packed with personality, giving dancers the chance to explore different styles, learn fresh choreography and just enjoy the buzz.

Commercial is bold, dynamic and full of attitude — perfect if you’ve ever wanted to dance like you’re in a music video or on stage with your favourite artist. It’s a fun, confidence-boosting style that blends technique, performance and big energy in a supportive, feel-good class.
