Kicks, Turns & Jumps
This technique based class purely focuses on these particular dance movements: kicks, turns and jumps. We work to perfect the specific technique required to execute these moves to a high standard. Progressions are incorporated to ensure new levels are obtained, for example: perfecting a single pirouette then advancing to fouettés etc. This class works in synergy with other dance styles and genres to allow choreography to be performed to a high standard.
