OUR CLASSES AND EXTRAS!
BALLET
Many positive benefits are associated with learning the art of ballet. Besides learning the traditional techniques, ballet also develops core strength, grace, poise, self discipline and self confidence.
Students will learn rules and traditional ballet techniques of ballet which have been handed down over the centuries.
At TNA we offer ISTD syllabus classes and examinations for Ballet from our 'Pre-school beginners' to advanced levels.
TAP
Tap is an exciting form of dance in which dancers wear shoes specially equipped with metal taps. Tap dancers use their feet like instruments to create rhythmic patterns and beats. The term 'tap dancing' is derived from the tapping sound produced when the small metal plates on the shoe touch the floor.
At TNA we offer IDTA syllabus classes for Tap from beginners to advanced levels. We also offer open tap classes, which is designed to not only improve technique but to reflect the current developments in the genre and bridge the gap between technical ability and artistic performance standards and expectations.
JAZZ
Jazz has become one of the most popular dance styles in recent years, mainly due to its popularity on television shows, movies, music videos and commericals. People enjoy watching jazz dancers, as the dancing is fun and energetic
Jazz dancing is a form of dance that showcases a dancers individual style and originality. Every jazz dancer interprets and executes moves and steps in their own way.
This type of dancing is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and many turns. To excel in jazz, dancers benefit from a strong background in ballet, as it encourages grace and balance.
Musical Theatre
Musical Theatre is a performance genre that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting and dance. Although musical theatre overlaps with other theatrical forms like opera and dance, it may be distinguished by the equal importance given to the music as compared with other dialogue, movement and other elements of the works.
Students will cover all aspects of Musical Theatre in class, with performance stimuli taken from musicals such as: 'Matilda', 'Billy Elliot', 'Oliver', 'Dear Evan Hansen' and many more. TNA aims to provide as many performance opportunities as possible for our musical theatre studenrts.
