This is a brand new modern/jazz free-work class with Helen. They will be covering a warm up, leaps, kicks & turns and learning routines with lots of current chart music. It is a great class for those who do not wish to take modern exams or follow a set syllabus OR those who already do a graded modern class with us and would like to take an additional weekly modern class to improve their modern/jazz technique or ability to pick up choreography.

Professional actor Jen Junemann has been teaching LAMDA for over a decade and is super excited to offer group LAMDA tuition to any students who would like to give it a go (no prior experience necessary). LAMDA is an exam body who run public exams three times a year for Entry Level and Grades 1 - 8. Exams can be taken in Acting and Verse & Prose. Pupils can take exams either solo or in a duologue or even as a group. Pupils will learn how to perform a wide range of texts from poems to plays - improving acting and presentation skills and also conversational skills too. The class will be capped at 6 students per session, ensuring each child one-on-one teaching time as well as encouraging peer to peer learning.

Taught by Alanna, a highly qualified gymnastics and dance teacher, these classes build up skills from forward rolls, balancing, partnering, cartwheels, handstands, headstands to walkovers, aerials and more! A great class to develop ‘tricks’ which are now a much needed skill as a dancer or performer. The classes are also really good at developing stamina, strength and flexibility.
