RAD Dance Arts Academy

A combination of freestyle, hip hop and creative movement. A positive environment for boys to explore and pursue a basic interest in dance.

This class is held weekly and on a styled rotation. Each week we will focus on a different style of dance with fun themes. Great for beginner – advanced.

Jazz dance combines footwork and movement with different technical elements such as leaps and turns. Jazz is a wonderful foundation for continued growth in dance. Across the floor technique will improve dancer’s skills such as leaps, turns, and kicks that will be used in choreography.

This genre of music spawned several new styles of dance, the most popular of which is break dancing. Our hip-hop, break-dancing and krumping guru will show you the moves in this fun, energetic class.

Acro’s roots are in traditional Chinese dance, later appearing as a favoured style on the Vaudeville stage. More recently, acro gained popularity with the wide spread success of the contemporary circus productions of Cirque du Soleil . Main stream media including dance television programs like ‘ So You Think You Can Dance ’, ‘ America’s Best Dance Crew ’ and ‘ Dance Moms ’ have further fuelled it’s demand in amateur competitive dance and studio settings. Acro technique includes balancing, limbering, tumbling and partnering, based in flexibility, contortion and strength.

Our classes emphasize the development and strengthening of basic tap technique and terminology highlighting the importance of rhythm and sound. Tap focuses on rhythms and intricate footwork, creating a percussion instrument out of the dancer’s feet. Just like jazz vocalists who add rhythms to music by scatting, tappers add their voice by scatting with their feet. This class is absolutely perfect for your child. You’ll love it because they get to dance and have fun, while you enjoy some free time. Plus, they’ll be worn out when they get home (yay for good sleep).

Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements. Contemporary dancers focus on floorwork, using gravity to pull them down to the floor. Contemporary dance can be performed to many different styles of music.

Of all the styles of dance offered at RAD Dance Arts Academy, ballet is perhaps the most challenging. Students require a lot of training and dedication in order to become successful ballet dancers. By that same token, the results are all the more rewarding. We follow the Vaganova method when we approach our class structure, safety, and technique. We incorporate some arm and body placement from the Balanchine method in our more advanced ballet and pointe classes.
