Our school believes classical ballet forms the basis of all genres of dance and is the core of good technique so pre-school curriculum has three stages:  Petit Stages 1 (Ballet), 2 (Ballet & Jazz) and 3 (Ballet, Jazz and Tap). Our aim is to develop the student's creative passion for dance by learning the highlights from all these genres. These are ideal classes for this age group as they introduce the students to the strong technique, gracefullness and artistry found in ballet in Stage 1.  The co-ordination skill of isolating different parts of the body in jazz/cabaret in Stage 2, and tap dancing which is excellent for developing co-ordination and musicality, the students learn basic tap steps using different rhythm patterns, beats and rhyme in Stage 3.  Each stage has a gradual technical progression in each style while developing a strong sense of discipline in the students but still encouraging the dancer’s individuality.
