DANCE STYLES OFFERED AT VIVID PA:

Jazz is a great style of dance to start with if you are considering dancing. It is a popular genre that incorporates kicks, turns and leaps and may have elements of hip hop, ballroom and acrobatics.
We teach jazz in both a traditional Broadway style as well as commercial jazz that you see in current music videos.

Tap is a fun style of dance using specialised shoes with metal plates on the bottom.
Tap can be technical and challenging.
Our students are taught a series of skills containing individual steps, combinations and turning technique activities.

We are focused on RAD syllabus work. Ballet is important for poise, strength, grooming,
self discipline, balance, flexibility, coordination and control.
Ballet classes start from our Tutu Cuties program for 2-4 year olds; right through to our seniors.

TINY TWINKLES
Our Tiny Twinkles program is made up of two parts.
Part One is an introductory ballet program for 2 to 3 year olds. These classes focus heavily on ballet etiquette,
good dance manners and have a heavy foundation in child psychology.
Tiny Twinkles ballet is fun and caters to the short attention spans of toddlers.
Part Two of our Tiny Twinkles program offers our tiny ones the opportunity to learn about music and movement.
This is a less structured class that teaches your child basic principles such as tempo, rhythm, balance, volume, and moving in time with music whilst having fun with props such as parachutes, bean bags, and hoops.
Your cherub will twirl around the room with delight and immerse herself in imaginative play. With teachers that praise her success and cherish her progress, you will see the sparkle in her eyes as her confidence blossoms.
Her smile shows that her life long love of dance has begun.......
