DANCE OUT LOUD STUDIOS

CLASSES WE OFFER
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
3-5 yrs
The Preschool classes are full of imagination, fun and props, all whilst learning the first foundations of dance technique. Miss Mel and her Preschoolers dance on tippy toes like fairies, fly like butterflies, jump like frogs and gallop like horses. We hide under starry sheets, climb through lycra tunnels, catch the beat with maracas and twirl with dancing ribbons and scarves. A gorgeous 1/2 hour class for the little ones.
BALLET
Prep-Adults
Classical Ballet is a dance form characterized by light, graceful movements and the use of pointe shoes (as the dancer matures.) Famous Ballets such as The Nutcracker or Swan Lake are danced with beautiful orchestral music. This style of dance is often a little girls dream, with costumes being elaborate and very beautiful. A must for every little girl to expeircen!
JAZZ
Prep-Adult
Dance Out Loud loves bringing a gorgeous purity to this fun, fast paced, heavily stylized form of dance. Within the world, Jazz Dance can often be sexualised for dancers, but the syllabus and teachers we employ ensure a safe and clean dance experience. We places great discernment with song choice and costumes worn, whilst still being relevant and progressive. Kids LOVE this class!!
HIPÂ HOP
Hip Hop is a street style dance originating from the Bronx in New York City in the 1970's. Constantly evolving, it is a free and funky, soulful expression of movement.
ACRO
Acrodance is a genre of dance which seamlessly fuses elements of lyrical gymnastics tricks, balancing, tumbling, and jazz. Students learn Acrobatic tricks such as handstands, cartwheels, chest stands, elbow stands, walkovers, side and front aerials, and tumbling lines.
ADULT DANCE CLASSES
Adult dance classes at Dance Out Loud are all about YOU enjoying yourself through dance. Whether your goal is to get fit or more flexible, return to dance after time out, or try something brand new, we’d love to welcome you into our fun, adult dance family. Our main focus in Adult dance,
is not taking ourselves too seriously!
