We offer the British Ballet Organisation syllabus for our ballet classes.
Classical ballet is excellent for a child’s self-discipline, muscle control and strength, posture and grace of movement.
Ballet is a great foundation for all other forms of dance. Students learning ballet are encouraged to enter exams however exams are not compulsory.
The tap syllabus taught at DanceXtreme is the Les Griffith Tap Dance Academy. The L.G.T.D.A was created by the late Les Griffiths of Newcastle, with some of his students going on to have fabulous careers.
The most famous student would have to be Dean Perry the creator of “Tap Dogs”. The Syllabus is well structured with barre exercises, centre work and a short dance for each level.
There are seventeen levels from test one thru to the teachers diploma, with each level gradually increasing in difficulty, therefore students are a little more challenged each year without it being impossible to achieve the next level.
Students learning tap are encouraged to enter exams however exams are not compulsory.
Our Jazz/ Hip Hop classes have become our most popular classes as students learn what they regularly see on TV, music videos, and in movies.
