Theatre Dance/Jazz
tutor: Mutu Malcom

This class focuses on technique, performance skills and musicality for people with a jazz dance background. New choreography taught each week familiarises students with diverse styles, promotes self-confidence and develops skills in an encouraging environment. Warm-ups use a technical jazz and ballet format, layered with style. Combinations include repertory from shows plus original choreography.

Tap                         
tutor: Clayton Curnow

Tap is fun above all else. These sessions are designed for you to work on timing, suppleness of ankles, coordination and rhythm. The tradition of tap - a merging of African and Irish dance styles in America, between slaves and immigrants - gives this kind of dance an immediate performative quality not always found in other dance technical classes. Very suited for students interested in musical theatre and mixed genre performance.
