PERFORMING ARTS CLASSES DEFINITIONS
Confused as to what classes may be of interest? Find our class definitions below!
CLASSICAL BALLET
A system of dance based on formalized movements and positions of the arms, feet, and body designed to enable the dancer to move with the greatest possible agility, control, speed, lightness, and grace. Royal Academy of Dance is a progressive technique that offer students the training, professional development, examination opportunities and choreographs a future in dance for everybody.
CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements. The term "contemporary" is somewhat misleading: it describes a genre that developed during the mid 20th century and is still very popular today.
JAZZ
This high-energy technical dance style has a liveliness that sets it apart from traditional dance forms and includes improvisation. Dancers respond to the music with their body movements, changing their motions with the musicians’ spontaneous instrumental creations. Today, jazz fundamentals have branched out to include various styles, including broadway, hip hop, funk, latin, and pop.
HIP HOP
This is a vibrant form of dance that combines a variety of freestyle movements to create a cultural piece of art. Through its main styles of popping, locking, house and breaking, hip-hop dance has evolved into one of the most popular and influential styles of dance.
TAP
A form of dance characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. The sound is made by shoes that have a metal "tap" on the heel and toe. Two major variations on tap dance exist: rhythm and Broadway tap. Broadway tap focuses on dance; it is widely performed in musical theatre. Rhythm tap focuses on musicality, and practitioners consider themselves to be a part of the jazz tradition.
MUSICAL THEATRE
A genre of theatre where music plays a major role in moving the story forward. This genre is where the entertainment industry term “triple threat” (sing, dance, act) comes from, however it actually includes four major elements: song, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance. The story and emotional content of a musical are communicated through integrating words, song, music, movement and dance.
SINGING
The activity of performing songs by making musical sounds with the voice. This class teaches the 5 components of Breath, Pitch, Rhythm, Diction and voice and explores all the genres of music from Popular hits, Ballads, Hip Hop, Rock, Country, Soul etc.
DRAMA
A collaborative form of performing art that uses actors, to present real or imagined events. Students learn all aspects of theatre from Shakespeare to Commedia, Characterisations, Improvisations, Voice, Scene, Script Monologues, Duologues and a perform a variety of plays.
ACROBATICS
Acrobatic dance, or acro as it is commonly referred to by students and industry professionals, is the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Often defined by unique choreography, acro dancers seamlessly blend musicality, emotional expression, line and extension with acrobatic movements in a dance context.
CIRQUE
The genre of new circus, in which a story or theme is conveyed through traditional circus skills. Students will learn different skills such as Aerial Silks, Aerial Lyra, Trapeze, Unicycling, Stilt Walking, Hoops, Juggling, Poi, Partnering, Tight Wire, Contortion, Balancing etc.
LYRICAL
Lyrical is a dance style that combines various aspects from jazz, ballet, acrobatics and contemporary. Lyrical choreography is inspired by the lyrics of the song you are dancing to, and is great for developing a dancers musicality. Lyrical dance is often done to music with a strong emotional message that helps the dancer to portray a poetic, expressive, and deeply emotional quality of movement.
