'Dynamites' is an immensely fun 'Pre-School' Dance class! A stepping stone to our more structured 'Dynamos', for 4+ on a Tuesday at The Grange Hall, 4:00pm. Allows little ones to boogie, have fun and to let their imagination run wild, with props to play with and parachute fun! Movement is such a key part of a child's development. Drinks and snacks provided too. Look out for 'Dynamite' the duck too! Grown ups can either chose to sit and watch or join in (get pulled away from their cuppa more like!). Engaging and popular music forms the playlist to the class. Cake and cuppa for grown ups!

˜Dynamos” is a step up from 'Dynamites'. It is a fun, dynamic and interactive creative dance class, where each child's natural ability and potential is encouraged. The class will build on co-ordination, body control, skills, confidence and rhythm. The combination of body awareness and expression are explored through playful exercises and taught dance sequences, including Contemporary and inspired by the techniques of ballet and jazz. Guided by their teacher, ˜Dynamos” are also given the opportunity to create their own imaginative movement phrases.
Rainbow Award through the NATD (National Association of Teaching Dancers) Our fantastic Dynamos will get the opportunity to take a short and fun exam. This is very flexible, and It will involve a short dance/s in a set style; Contemporary, Ballet, Acro etc. They may just do the one dance, or if we feel they can manage, they could do two. For each exam they take (dance they do), they receive a rainbow award, which is one of the colours from the rainbow!

Progressing from 'Dynamos', is 'Innovators' Dance class, where ability and potential are

In addition to building on physical expression and technique, movement vocabulary and performance skills are developed. Alongside taught movement phrases and dance sequences, Innovators will have the opportunity to explore their own choreographic voice. The group will devise new works throughout the year, with both in-house teachers and guest choreographers, to perform at various venues and events.
