CLASSES RANGING FROM

Although a lot of students start out dancing simply for enjoyment, as they progress they may start considering using dancing in their future. Whether teaching or performing, versatility is the key to success.

WE OFFER

Royal Academy of Dancing

RAD is an internationally recognized Classical Ballet Syllabus of a very high standard. Examinations are usually held around late July to early August. Students wishing to sit grade exams are required to attend at least two ballet classes per week and are also required to attend a vacation school or take some private lessons prior to exams. Presentation classes are also available as an alternative to exams.

Comdance Society of Teachers of Dancing – Classical

Here at Generation Dance Centre, we use the Comdance classical syllabus as well as the RAD syllabus in our beginner and pre ballet class. Both these syllabi offer different aspects of classical ballet and by combining these children are given a great start into the classical ballet world. Senior students may wish to sit Comdance major exams to enable them to sit their teaching diplomas in classical ballet.

Comdance – Modern Jazz, Tap & Musical Theatre exams

Comdance exams are held in April or October. There are pre-requisites for students who wish to sit these exams. Comdance exams are a great way to encourage student growth and these exams can lead to teaching exams as well as giving high school students QSE points on their school senior certificate.

Examinations

Examinations are not compulsory but are strongly recommended to give goals for students to aim for, assisting in building students confidence whilst advancing their dancing ability. Generation Dance Centre has always had exceptional results in both Comdance and RAD exams. Comdance hold 2 exam sessions per year, with the first being held in term 2 and the second being held in term 4. RAD grade exams are held in term 3.

Musical Theatre

A very popular class where students learn to sing dance and act! Each year we study a particular musical, students learn songs and dialogues from this musical as well as dances. We also play lots of drama and team building games, learn microphone techniques and will also learn some current pop songs. Theatrical and performing arts exams are available in this class however in the higher grades students should be also studying Ballet, jazz and tap to be able to participate in these exams. Whether you want to do exams or just for fun this is a great class which gives lots of variety.

Stretch and Strength Class

This class is designed for students wishing to compliment their dance classes with a class specifically to improve their strength and flexibility. Classes will consist of Pilates and progressing ballet technique based exercises and stretches to improve students’ core strength and flexibility. Equipment such as wobble boards, yoga blocks and balls and therabands are used to enhance this class.

Contemporary

Contemporary is a free flowing, expressive style of dance which has no boundaries. Ballet experience is a definite advantage for this class. Classes are available for Intermediate and Senior students.

Acrobatics

We’ve known for a long time that kids love nothing more than attempting and perfecting new “tricks.” Remember learning a cartwheel? We sure do, and it’s that sense of pride and exhilaration that we love to pass on to all students. Our Acro class levels are skill-based. Once our students have mastered the skills in the junior level, they move up to the next allowing them to develop their skills at their own pace. These classes fill very quickly!

Hip Hop

These classes will be fun and energetic beginner & intermediate classes for all ages from 7years. Boys and girls will love this modern street style dancing.

Extension Classes

Extension classes are available in both Jazz and Tap genres. These classes are non exam content and allow students to learn additional skills and techniques. These are fun classes where students are encouraged to learn dances and combinations each term.

Adult Classes

At GDC we have adult only tap and Ballet/Jazz classes.
If you have always dreamed of learning Tap, Ballet or Jazz and never had the opportunity or if you learnt dance when you were younger and miss it than these classes are for you! During this 45min class you will do a warm up and learn some combinations and moves to music you will love. These classes are so much fun you won’t know that you are also getting a great workout! Wear clothes that are comfortable to move and stretch in and bring water and a sense of humour.

Performance team

our performance team is an audition based group of students who perform throughout the year at various events such as eisteddfods, Ekka, Pine Rivers show and other community events such as school fetes and nursing homes. Performance teams give students the opportunity to perform and compete whilst they grow in confidence and make life long friends.
