What kind of dance is suitable for me or my child?
MOVING ARTS welcomes anyone who is interested in movement or dance from the age of 3 onwards!
Children have the options to learn Ballet, Jazz and Creative Movement. Read more about each genre type here. Expose your child to the graceful structure of ballet, the funkiness of jazz, or the innovative energy of Creative Movement!
Adults/Teens have the options to learn Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, Hip-hop, Pilates and Yoga. Read more about each genre type here. If you love clean graceful lines and classical music, Ballet would be ideal. Contemporary calls out to the artist in you, as you learn to shape and control your body into versatile forms. Or if you love modern pop music, take that one step further by learning to dance Jazz and Hip-Hop to the beats you love!
