Dance Technique
Wednesday's 6.30pm - 7.30pm @Sutton High School GDST
Elevate your performance and work to secure your future with our specialised Technical Excellence weekly classes.
Ran by Kirsty: every Wednesday night, you will be gaining fundamental skills and techniques to become a more assured and confident dancer. Designed specifically for the ambitious performer, this session is a dual-focus powerhouse: building the foundational "weapons" of a professional dancer while mastering the high-pressure skill of rapid choreography pick-up.Our curriculum provides a competitive edge through training in:
Precision Turns
We break down the mechanics of spotting, arm placement, and axis control to master consistent pirouettes, seamless chaînés, sharp piqués and floorless fouettés.
Flexibility & Extension
Our Focus: Through targeted conditioning and safe stretching, we work to open the hips, achieve oversplits, and increase the height of kicks.
Dynamic Elevation
Our Focus: Using drills and specific "launch" techniques, we develop the explosive power required for jumps such as grand jetés.
Alignment & Placement
Our Focus: We conduct a deep dive into core stability and postural correction, ensuring every movement is executed from a place of technical control.
Acrobatic Integration
Our Focus: We focus on the fusion of strength and fluidity, teaching students how to weave professional tricks and floor-work seamlessly into choreography.
Industry Preparation
Our Focus: We train with the intensity of a professional company, focusing on pick-up speed, musicality, and the nuances of different industry styles.
