Commercial Jazz

Free Style Non-Syllabus

Commercial is our non-syllabus class and the dance style is taken from many other dance disciples, such as jazz, street, modern and hip hop.

Focusing on creativity and self expression, it is high energy and maximum performance.

TAP

BBO Dance

Tap dance is a form of dance characterised by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion and teaches the student all about rhythm. The sound is made by shoes that have a metal "tap" on the heel and toe.

Fast and loud, fun and energetic!

Big Musical Theatre productions like Mary Poppins, 42nd Street and Anything Goes still have tap at the heart of their choreography. Performers like The Syncladies have given tap a modern touch and make it look fresh!

It is a technically complex discipline, focusing on rhythm and beats created by the steps and which has whole language of its own,

But most of all it sounds amazing !!

Acro Jazz

BBO Dance and Acrobatic Arts

Our Modern Acro Theatre Dance classes promote co-ordination and stamina and contain exercises to strengthen, extend and loosen the body and increase flexibility. Acro Dance is an art form specifically designed for dancers. Acro has softer, more lyrical-looking lines than floor gymnastics, with emphasis on lengthening “through” the tricks and holding beautiful balances with interesting variations.

The focus is on seamlessly blending acrobatics with dance, and avoiding obvious preparations before each trick. With the added element of Acro, students can learn acrobatics to add into their dance routines, starting with simple stretches and balances working towards more advance moves and tumbling as they progress.

At the academy classes start from Pre-School age and continue through until adult. We follow the Acrobatic Arts syllabus, are fully certified in teaching Acro dance and we are an official AcroPad centre so we can always offer the best to our students.
