2-3 & 4-5 YEARS
An imaginative, explorative world of music and movement.
This class is tailored for two age groups: 2-3 year olds (where a parent or caregiver joins the fun) and 4-5 year olds. Children at this stage respond best to stories, so special music is written for the class with lyrics that act as sung instructions and children are led through simple moves that build body awareness and balance.
8-12 YEARS
A dynamic, games and movement experience
The teacher leads the class in a series of foundation fitness moves taken from dance, martial arts, plyometrics, sports training and yoga. Dance sequences become slightly more complex as the children get older and we introduce core training with body weight exercises.
6-7 YEARS
A world of playful movement, music and games
This class introduces fundamental movement skills as well as short dance choreographies. There are lots of repetitions and we build the choreography gradually week after week so children are able to follow. Children of this age are primarily visual learners so the instructor places emphasis on demonstrating moves they can easily follow.
13-16 YEARS
Expressive action and energy
This class draws from the disciplines of martial arts, hip hop, sports conditioning, plyometrics, dance and yoga, and is led by a trained instructor who can pick and mix from a constantly updated toolbox of tracks to keep things interesting.
