STREET DANCE
If your child can’t sit still and loves to dance bring them along to one of our street classes. We keep up to date with the latest music in the charts and work on routines to show at the end of term. Within the class, students learn tricks, street steps, and lots of fun choreography.
Classes are available for ages 3 and above.
BALLET
Following the ISTD syllabus, Students learn discipline, core strength and artistry. Ballet is so important for all genres of dance. The technique and discipline learnt in Ballet transfers and helps with the development of each dancer in all genres of dance.
Classes are available for ages 2.5 and above.
MODERN
Following the ISTD syllabus, Students learn artistry and dynamics as well as all the lyrical and jazz dance techniques. The progression through the grades allows the dancer to develop flexibility and strength ready for high kicks, leaps, turns and choreography.
Classes are available for ages 4 and above.
JAZZ TECHNIQUE
In our Jazz classes we are working towards perfecting our basic jumps, kicks and turns and moving on to more advanced steps. Please note if you would like to join our Jazz classes you must be attending a modern class.
Classes are available for ages 7 and above.
STRETCH AND CONDITIONING
Along side our dance classes we also offer our stretch and conditioning class. This class is brilliant for developing flexibility and strength. Between classes its great to keep stretching to help get those legs higher and leaps longer. Learn tips to take home and practice.
Classes are available for ages 7 and above.
ACRO DANCE
CHEERLEADING
Cheerleading is a team-based sport that involves pyramids, tumbling, jumps, and dance. It was initially started in the USA, and now it's quickly growing in the UK. We use Pom Poms and Acro skills to make an exciting and energetic dance class. We focus on kicks, jumps, flexibility, and strong arm and body movements.
Classes are available for ages 4 and above.
CONTEMPORARY
Acro dance is a style of dance that combines classical dance techniques with precision acrobatic elements. It is defined by its athletic character, its unique choreography, which seamlessly blends dance and acrobatics, and its use of acrobatics in a dance context. We love Acro at OBDA and it has quickly become one of our most popular classes.
Classes are available for ages 4 and above.
