Dance Classes

Tapping appreciates music and with music comes rhythm, sounds and beats all explored by the aspiring Tap Dogs.

'Nadine's Academy Of Dance' is proud to use the 'Tapatak Oz' syllabus. This new, Australian syllabus created by Christine Denny, is the perfect for those who want to learn how to tap, New York style. This syllabus is the best way to learn the style that is employable in theatre and the industry. Its cool, fun and is popular with every age from 3 years to Adult.

 

The perfect class to learn all the technical requirements of dance, utilising ballet, jazz, pilates and core training. This class promotes 'safe' dance technique and not only educates the students to the correct technique, but also builds the child's confidence as they gain the ability to execute moves with complete precision. 

 

Coming out of the Bronx, Hip Hop is a street dance style that has evolved into it's own culture. Learn breaking, popping, krumping and freestyle and have heaps of fun doing it.

This style of dance is very fluid and technical, enforcing strength and flexibility. Lyrical allows the student to express themselves through dance without any boundaries, as it fuses perfectly the technique in Ballet and Jazz.

 

Taught from 3yrs to senior professional level, this form of art is an excellent way to experience and enjoy dance at any age.

Highly experienced teachers conduct all jazz classes. Our choreographers are carefully selected and work on our competition and concert work. All the Jazz staff are all professional dancers of many credits.

Every dancer at Nadine's Academy is encouraged to participate in at least one jazz class per week.

 

It is important that all our students are well rounded performers. We offer a range of subjects that will allow each student to find their 'niche' in the performing arts. These classes are fantastic at building children's confidence, whether or not they wish to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

 

Tiny Tots is a great introduction into dance and music. Our classes teach young children the basics in movement and rhythm and give them great sense of achievement and confidence.

 

Give your child a great head start with our Babies Ballet classes, designed to encourage posture, balance and rhythm from an early age.

 

A great way to have fun, meet new people, get into shape and keep up with the kids.

 

Show that you've got what it takes and have a go at this exciting performance class. You might have more fun than you dreamed.

 

 

These classes are by Audition only and are all taught by selected choreographers. The purpose of these classes is to extend the dance training and to encourage performance attitude and stage discipline through the many championships and performances we do.

The Advanced Show Groups are for stage work, professional engagements & competitions, and will be chosen by successful Auditions during Term 1. They are by invitation only & students invited into these classes will be considered on the basis of individual merit & previous training. These classes are reassessed every year to maintain the very high standard expected in competition work.

Positions into and out of these classes will be confirmed by the middle of Term 1. If you wish to aim for possible selection we are inviting all students from the Primary, Junior, Intermediate & Senior Jazz Classes to train & audition within the Show Group times for the beginning of Term 1 until news of your Audition date. Successful Students into Showgroups must attend: 2 x Show Group classes, Ballet and Modern classes.
