Classical Ballet is the core to all dance styles. Classical Ballet gives a child the technique, strength, flexibility and discipline that they can apply to all other forms of dance.

We also offer Ballet combined with Tap for 3 -5 years prior to starting the ISTD Syllabus. This is to settle the children into a learning and disciplined environment and to gain the basic technique of the two styles of dance.

Examination – We offer the ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance) Ballet Syllabus where children work through the grades and once they have perfected their technique and knowledge will move up a grade either by taking their Exam or once they have reached the correct standard.

Tap Dance is great for rhythm, musicality and to improve timing. Tap is fun and you can put your own style into your performance.

Modern Dance allows a dancer to explore the different qualities and styles necessary for performing to various pieces of music. It can be fast and energetic, funky and stylish or soft and lyrical. It helps a dance with their jazz technique, lines and style.

Examinations: Students at Creative Dance Centre are encouraged to take their ISTD Examinations when they have reached the required standard. Alternatively we want a fun and a no pressure environment so students have an option of moving up at the teachers discretion without being Examined.
