Philosophy
To provide a comprehensive array of dance
styles to all dance students, whether 2 or 80 years old,
beginner or advanced. Every beginner is given the opportunity to be inspired
and uplifted through the experience of dance. Quality dance education
based on an international standard is available for every advanced and interested
student affording them the opportunity to compete locally and abroad. We strive towards maintaining
a high standard of technique and excellence whilst providing fun
and dynamic dance classes.
How
we teach
The main
emphasis at The Dance Company is to make our classes fun
& friendly. Classes for children incorporate dance technique important for
the development of gross motor skills, balance, strength
and co-ordination. However, we encourage group tasks and improvisation to build
social skills and confidence. We also take note that boys and girls move
differently from each other and therefore adjust our lessons
accordingly. All our students are given the opportunity to express their
own creative ideas and in doing so aid the development of their self
esteem.

studio we believe to be the essence of any young dancers
success.
