BTDA subjects (Modern, Tap, Lyrical and Musical Theatre combined classes)
Modern Jazz
This is the most popular subject mainly due to its popularity on television shows, movies, music videos and commercials.Modern jazz is fun and energetic. Incorporating contemporary, commercial and broadway, depending on the age.
Tap
Tap dance really speaks for itself, focusing on rythm and co-ordination it is characterized by a tapping sound that is created from metal plates that are attached to both the ball and heel of the dancer's shoe. These metal plates, when tapped against a hard surface, create a percussive sound and as such tap dancers are considered to be musicians.
Lyrical
This is a lovely subject, encouraging self expression and flow of movement, combining ballet and modern styles.
Musical Theatre
Song and dance never loses its impact, everything from the classic 'Singing in the rain' through to modern day 'High School Musical'
