Whether you're a beginner or an experienced dancer, our academy provides a welcoming environment to learn and grow. Let's take a closer look at the various dance styles we offer:
Ballet:
Ballet, often regarded as the foundation of dance, is a classical form that originated in the Italian Renaissance courts. This graceful and disciplined style focuses on precision, posture, and fluidity of movement. Students in ballet classes at Generations Dance Academy will develop strength, flexibility, and a deep understanding of the art's technical aspects, from pliés to pirouettes.
Tap:
Tap dance is an American art form that traces its roots back to African and Irish dance traditions. With its emphasis on rhythm and percussive footwork, tap is a lively and energetic genre. Our tap classes teach students to create intricate rhythms with their feet, fostering a sense of musicality and coordination.
Jazz:
Jazz dance is a vibrant and dynamic style that emerged in the early 20th century. It draws inspiration from various dance forms, including African, Caribbean, and European styles. At Generations Dance Academy, jazz classes incorporate a fusion of styles, emphasizing strength, flexibility, and individual expression.

Combining dance with acrobatics, Acro is a genre that showcases strength, balance, and flexibility. Rooted in traditional gymnastics, acro dance at our academy focuses on seamless integration with dance movements, ensuring a captivating and harmonious performance.
Modern:
Modern dance is a departure from classical ballet, emphasizing expressiveness and freedom of movement. With roots in the early 20th century, modern dance rejects strict forms and encourages dancers to explore their unique interpretations of emotion and storytelling. Students in our modern dance classes learn to push boundaries and express themselves through creative movement.

Musical theatre dance combines elements of dance, acting, and singing to tell a story on stage. Originating from Broadway productions, this genre demands versatility from performers. At Generations Dance Academy, our musical theatre classes teach students to convey narratives through dance while incorporating vocal and acting techniques.
Street:
Street dance encompasses a variety of styles, including hip-hop, breakdancing, and urban dance. Originating from diverse urban cultures, street dance is characterised by its energetic and improvisational nature. Our street dance classes focus on developing a sense of rhythm, body isolations, and the expressive qualities unique to each style.
