Dance Fusion's upbeat modern jazz classes involve the discovery & development of a variety of different jazz styles. Classes are based around the ‘love of dance’ philosophy as we explore the more ‘traditional’ jazz stylings of broadway through to the very fresh and modern styles of today.

Our approach builds strong technique, poise, self confidence & fantastic student outcomes. Classes incorporate a range of warm-up exercises(stretching, strengthening and flexibility), incorporating a variety of kicks, turns, leaps, dance step progressions & full dance routines.

Dance Fusion’s rhythmical tap classes will challenge your feet & co-ordination with tapping concepts inspired by traditional choreography – such as that of Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire & the Broadway musicals, through to the diverse funky styles of the more recent ‘Tap Dogs' & ‘Stomp’ phenomenon’s.

Our tap classes teach exceptional technique, rhythmical training, and musical appreciation with a new groovy flair. Dance Fusion’s tap classes guarantee to be a fun workout.....and are always very noisy!

Classical ballet is where all correct dance technique, style, poise and strength are derived. It is the most disciplined, the most expressive, and the most rewarding of all the art forms. It is  well acknowledged that all the ‘great' dancers of the past and present, gain their ‘flair’ from strong classical training.

DANCE FUSION’S classical classes are structured around the CSTD & RAD classical syllabii are focus on making ballet fun whilst developing strong technique.

Acrobatics is the spectacular art of strength & control, tumbling, contortion and flexibility. Dance Fusion’s acrobatics classes explore these elements in a high energy class under fully qualified instruction.

Acrobatics is the most creative, skilful & entertaining forms of dance! Our classes begin with a thorough warm up, and progress through a series of balances, stretches, strengthening exercises, quick work (cartwheels, round offs, handsprings) and teacher assisted trick (back flips & more).

 
These classes are well suited for girls and boys from 2 years. Intermediate classes are skill specific. 

Contemporary dance is a fusion of classical ballet & jazz dance techniques. It explores the emotions of dance & uses motion to interpret music & lyrics.

It is expressive, subtle and dynamic, and a solid, ballet-based technique is an essential component of this advanced style of dance.
DANCE FUSION’S choreographers are continually travelling over east & internationally to learn the latest styles & pass them onto their students. We are excited to be teaching the brand new Jason Winters CSTD contemporary syllabus in 2012. It is amazing!

Baby Boppers (18months – 2 years)

A beautiful parent and baby interactive class designed for toddlers (recommended 15 months – 2 years of age) at the commencement of the course. You will be amazed at just how fast your little one will catch on and the progress they make over the year is astounding.

WIGGLES & GIGGLES

Who said there was such a thing as terrible two’s? Our talented Tinies learn to strut their stuff from a very young age and will be performing dance moves, gallops and tricks on command! In our Wiggles and Giggles class the focus is on music, dancing and fun and you will be so proud to see just how much confidence it gives them. For the first few weeks we have ‘mum’ in the room and then once a little more familiar with their surroundings it’s ‘time out’ for mum or dad in the waiting room and our talented tinies get into action, learn to dance, listen to instructions and even how to line up and take turns preparing them beautifully for Kindy down the track. At the end of class mum, dad or nanna comes into the studio and watches a little exercise or dance and with a big applause from the parents. Fabulous music and themes that little ones adore.
