JAZZ FUNK
Jazz up your day with this heart-pumper! Dance like they do in  music video film clips.

ADULT CONTEMPORARY
In Contemporary dance you will increase your understanding of movement and freedom of expression in dance as it encourages self expression, natural movement and personal interpretation. Along with building a strong centre, precision in your leg work and fluidity of movement within space and time, Contemporary often works with unpredictable changes in rhythm, speed, and direction.

TAP 
Try a bit of hot shoe shuffle! Tap is extremely energetic but it’s also tremendously good fun! Go on and put a little rhythm into your day.

BALLET 
Ballet isn’t just technique and flexibility, it also exercises every muscles, tendon, and ligament in your body! It’s a beautiful tradition that will look very aesthetic among the list of health and wellbeing activities.
