L’Académie

BALLET – RAD

Our ballet teachers have completed training as dancers and teachers of the Royal Academy of Dance, the world’s leading organisation in classical ballet education.

Ballet is the foundation for all forms of dance, improving posture, balance, flexibility and increasing agility, which is not only required for dance but assists in many different sports and physical activities.

L’Académie students wishing to participate in examinations must attend a minimum of 2 RAD ballet classes per week.

CONTEMPORARY

Contemporary dance combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. It’s an important addition to a well-rounded dancer’s repertoire and helps build agility, strength and flexibilty. A variety of music genres are used in these classes which assist in self expression and performance.

ACRO/JAZZ

In these classes students enhance their knowledge in training specific parts of the body to a variety of music genres focussing on resistance, agility, musicality and breadth of movement.

Acro Dance incorporates elements of acrobatics and jazz. Our classes start with a warm up which focuses on balance, strength and limbering, and lead into more complicated acrobatic skills depending on the level of the class. Acro Dance classes are suitable for all school age children.

BALLET – VAGANOVA

The Vaganova Method is a style of ballet instruction developed by Russian ballerina Agrippina Vaganova. The method has been designed to gradually introduce students to ballet elements that are used in 20th century ballets. The training enables dancers to work on building strength and flexibility, highlighting how the body moves as a whole, thus reducing and preventing injury. The Vaganova Method encompasses coordination of the arms and legs, core strength and facial expressions and is used in the world’s leading ballet schools including The Australian Ballet School and The Queensland Ballet School.

BODY CONDITIONING

Our Body Conditioning classes combine pilates and yoga, strengthening muscles required for classical ballet training.

These classes improve overall fitness and educate dancers on the importance of being physically fit so their bodies perform injury free.
