Class selection

At Elevate Dance Company, our students study the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus. An internationally recognised syllabus  that provides a strong technical foundation and structured progression from Pre-Primary to Advanced 2. We strongly believe classical ballet is the foundation of all dance forms. Our ballet classes focus on technical precision, correct posture, strength and flexibility while nurturing artistry and musicality. It is recommended that all students attend two ballet classes a week with the opportunity to work towards their examination. 

Our jazz classes  focus on technical elements such as kicks, turns, jumps, flexibility, and performance quality. Students learn short dance combinations in a variety of jazz styles to develop understanding of rhythm, and create strong, technical and versatile dancers. This high-energy dance styles aims to build strength, coordination, and confidence while using current, upbeat music— making it a favourite among dancers of all ages.

Tap is a rhythmic and percussive dance style where dancers create music with their feet. Combining timing, coordination, and musicality, tap builds a strong sense of rhythm and sharp footwork. It’s a fun and energetic style that encourages creativity and develops strong listening skills.

Acrobatics combines elements of dance and gymnastics, focusing on flexibility, strength, balance, and tumbling skills. Dancers learn safe technique for tricks such as handstands, cartwheels, walkovers, aerials, back handsprings and more. Acro helps build body awareness, control, and confidence in a fun and supportive environment. With an increasing of acrobatics skills incorporated in routines, it is essential that students train with correct techniques and progressions. Elevate Dance Company staff are highly experienced and trained to safely help every child develop their skills.
