Ballet Technique/Repertoire:

Ballet is the base for all dance, if you have good ballet technique then all other styles of dance will come more naturally to you. The class will incorporate ballet technique and exercises, but will concentrate on learning repertoire from different ballets to give the students the opportunity to be free and dance, giving the older students the chance express themselves within the ballet movements.  Pointe work is also included for some students.

Jazz/Modern:

Combination of technique which include, quick turns, kicks, isolations, corner work, big leaps, fancy foot work and learning routines from West End/Broadway Musicals, Glee, High School Musical, Modern Pop. Become more flexible with the soft flowing technique to elongate those limbs, not too mention lots of jazz hands and cheesy smiles.

Hip Hop/Street Dance:

This style of dance is energetic, physical and demanding on the body. It is a combination of all the funky music videos that are around today and the old school hip hop which has been with us forever, which includes, locking/popping, breaking, krumping, funk and of course MJ style. FSD’s hip hop has its own flavour and individuality and encourages the students to be more confident when dancing. Anyone can be a street dancer in time with determination, passion, hard work and belief. It will for sure improve your fitness and you’ll have fun in the process.
