Students are familiarized with the structure of a dance class. They are introduced to different rhythms and counts of music. Children learn how to move and improvise with their bodies. We put a strong emphasis on developing coordination and moving gracefully. Finally, students learn how to use the space and become familiar with basic formations used in ballet and jazz, all the while having lots of FUN!!!

It helps children develop co-ordination of mind and body, and nurtures the ability to focus, and maintain intense concentration. Ballet provides a strong foundation for all other forms of dance. Not only does it aid, and enhance performance ability in other dance forms, it also provides strength and control for gymnastics, skating, and all other sports.

People enjoy watching jazz dancers, as the dancing is fun and energetic. Jazz dancing is a form of dance that showcases a dancer's individual style and originality. With its roots in traditional ballet technique, jazz is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns.

Tap can either be done with music and follow the beats provided or without musical accompaniment, otherwise known as a capella dancing. From broadway to rhythm tap style; tap dance is fun!

Lyrical dance is often referred to as contemporary dance. It requires excellent technique to perform, as the moves are often difficult and precise. Moreover, the dancer must be well aware of facial expressions, essentially acting, to properly perform a lyrical dance piece.

Stretch and Strength Did you know that one of the best ways to prevent injury was through proper stretching? Our stretch class is conducted the same as a dance technique class. The instructor takes the students through a brief warm up which includes calisthenics (push ups, crunches, dips etc.) and cardio, while infusing stretches that increase in intensity and vigour. Boys Dance Training Thrill Dancers is also known for our quality in boys dance education. Male dancing has taken off thanks to great shows like "So You Think You Can Dance". Boys know that dancing is cool!! Our recreational hip hop classes teach the basics of breaking (popping, locking, freezes). In our competitive classes, our boys learn to dance in the proper male techniques and are taught partnering and lifts. Adult Classes Dance is a great way to keep in shape. At Thrill Dancers we have the following adult classes: Jazz, Hip Hop, Cardio Salsa and Strength and Conditioning. We promise a fun work out in a relaxed, easy going atmosphere. |
