Murray Youth Performing Arts Dance Classes & Styles
Here at Murray Youth Performing Arts Albury we have large amount of dance classes and dance styles available all ages and abilities.
Classical Ballet
Here at Murray Youth our ballet classes follow the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus. Offering levels pre-primary – Advanced 2. The syllabus incorporates classical ballet, free movement along with character dance.
In addition we enable our ballet students to participate in graded examinations. Exams are excellent opportunities for students to work towards their dancing goals and feel a sense of achievement.
Jazz
Jazz dance continuously evolves and remains popular across all ages.
Jazz requires a dancer to own their dancing with power, technique, confidence and style. Jazz incorporates strong performance aspects of dance. This includes technical jumps and turns with strong and sharp movements.
Contemporary
Contemporary dance combines strong and controlled movements of ballet and modern dance. Contemporary also strongly involves a free feeling in the torso. Our classes include floor work, contract and release, fall and recovery, along with improvisation movements.
Tap
Tap dancing has become a very distinct art form. It is represented in many musicals and artistic performances.
Tap shoes have small metal plates that create an audible, percussive sound known as ‘tapping’. Performed with or without music, tap dancing is fun, energetic and great for developing rhythm.
Our studio is one of very few local providers of Tap dancing classes. We are proud to be able to offer this style of dance.
Hip-Hop
Our hip-hop dance classes include a variety of different street dance styles. This includes popping, locking and funk. All of our hip-hop classes are also performed to age appropriate music.
