7 / Dance Styles DS Minis
We run all styles of dance for our youngest dancers , starting from 3 years to kindergarten age as part of our DS Minis program . The focus in the program is on introducing basic dance movement , rhythm and social skills , developing coordination and musicality . Our students not only learn the basics of dance training , they gain self-confidence and an advantage in preparation for school – all whilst having fun . We love to dance to the Wiggles , Hi-5 , Angelina Ballerina and modern Disney soundtracks so the kids can sing along . With a major emphasis on fun and creating confident little people our classes are the first stepping stone in your child ’ s dance journey . It will be your child ’ s favourite time of the week .
Jazz
Jazz is our most popular style of dance and where we recommend most students start . Classes will contain a mix up of the following ; a warm up , corner work ( skill progressions which travel across the floor ), centre based skill work , flexibility exercises as well as learning a routine . Jazz is a very diverse form of dance influenced by old and new musicals through to modern pop music . Jazz class enhances flexibility , coordination and fitness , but most of all , Jazz is simply great fun , listening to all your favourite pop songs heard on the radio in class . We take pride in keeping all choreography and music choices age appropriate whilst ensuring students are engaged and challenged .
Cheer At Dance Sensations we offer ‘ American Style ’ cheerleading classes focusing strongly on teamwork , performance quality and fitness . Cheer combines dancing , acrobatics and lifts in an exciting and dynamic style . Students gain a strong sense of responsibility in our cheer classes as the many different elements rely on each member fulfilling particular roles within the lifts and routines as a whole . This style has really taken off over the last few years here in Australia , and with this growing popularity we have had our cheer coaches officially certified with the AASCF .
Hip Hop Hip Hop is a street style of dance that has become very popular over the last ten years . We see this kind of dancing in music videos from Justin Timberlake , Usher and Beyoncé and also in films such as Step Up and Honey . Our teachers are committed to staying at the forefront of this exciting and constantly evolving genre through regular training and workshops with some of the world ’ s top choreographers . In class students are taught breakdancing skills as well as basic acrobatic exercises to help strengthen and improve their Hip Hop technique . Our classes also allow the children to learn some popular ‘ groove steps ’ and give them the opportunity to explore their own unique style – which is loads of fun ! A specialised Hip Hop Boys class is also offered , suitable for all levels . It too focuses on fun , confidence building and expression .
