Dewsbury Dance Centre Classes
Join the World of Dance
Ballet Babies (Pre-School)
These programs allow children from 2 ½yrs to school age to discover the joy of dance and movement in a fun and musical way. The classes use basic ballet or modern skills along with storytelling and creative play to help build their strength, stability and gross motor skills, whilst also giving them confidence and enjoyment.
(2 1/2 yrs- 4yrs)
Ballet
The core of all dance training, ballet teaches elegance, poise, stretch, centre, length of line and fluidity of movement. Smaller children love the graceful arms and tip toe feet, and as they grow they gain the strength and technique needed in all forms of dance
(Available from 4yrs-18yrs)
Tap
Rhythmic and relaxed, tap is hugely popular with all age groups. From the tinies who love their “noisy shoes”.
Older students progress to complex and athletic choreography.
(Available from 4yrs- 18yrs)
Theatre Jazz
Combining all the style and character required in West End Shows, with the power, fluidity and control of contemporary Jazz dance.
This class includes leaps, kicks and turned to work to train an all round dance/ performer. We alternate working towards IDTA exams in Theatre Craft and Contemporary Jazz, roughly 6 months of each.
(Available from 5yrs- 18yrs)
Acro
Also known as Acrobatic Dance, this class develops strength and flexibility as students work towards learning "tricks" such as cartwheels, handstands and rolls. The subject teaches balance, control and confidence. DDC follows the Acrobatic Arts Syllabus.
(from 5yrs- 18yrs)
Musical Theatre
Singing, Acting and Movement, this subject combines all three in a workshop style lesson. Students benefit from vocal tuition, acting technique and basic movement to foster the future West End Star.
