Dance Revolution offers classes in the following dance styles:
CONTEMPORARY
Similar to the style of Sydney Dance Company’s professional company – a blend of Ballet and modern dance. It builds a strong centre and combines precision leg work with fluidity of the torso. Contemporary dance encourages self expression, natural movement and personal interpretation.
HIP-HOP
Hip-hop is a dance style, usually danced to hip-hop music, that evolved from the hip-hop culture. The first dance associated with hip-hop was break dancing. While breakdancing consists primarily of moves executed close to the ground, the majority of hip-hop moves are performed standing up.
LYRICAL
Lyrical combines the techniques of Jazz and Classical Ballet. Lyrical is a slower, melodic and more expressive form of Jazz often to ballad music. Dancers gain fluidity of movement, grace and control.
MUSICAL THEATRE
Musical theatre is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting and dance. The story and emotional content of a musical – humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through the words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole.
JAZZ
Jazz is a commercial style of dancing that incorporates technique such as kicks, turns and leaps and is great for developing flexibility and fitness. Often associated with musicals such as Chicago or Fame, jazz is also the style used by pop stars such as Kylie Minogue, Madonna and Britney Spears and often features in pop concerts, opening ceremonies and music videos.
BALLET
Classical Ballet is characterised by a standard vocabulary of steps, poses, and graceful movements including pointed feet, rising, jumping, stretching and spinning. It is strengthening, disciplined and stylised. The class starts with exercises at the barre followed by work in the centre of the floor.
ACROBATICS
Acrobatics dance is combined with spectacular gymnastic skills that include balancing and tumbling. With the right amount of care, attention and training, a student can perform extraordinarily in this. This kind of sport is very important for the kids for many reasons. Children are highly benefited from an active lifestyle by participating in different types of sports. Learning acrobatics can definitely help them to gain balance and also develop the overall health. This can help children in gaining more strength, speed, flexibility, power, balance and coordination.
COMMERCIAL JAZZ
Commercial Jazz combines many styles of jazz and a bit of hip hop to produce an energetic style which would be seen in video clips and commercial performances. It is a great fuse and technique and personal style.
