Introducing DX International Virtual Dance School!
Dance Styles
Ballet - Foundational
Ballet establishes a disciplined dance technique, builds strength through flexibility, teaches grace and co-ordination, and provides the dancer supreme muscle control
Modern - Expressive
Movements are freeform and fluid, take inspiration from a variety of dance styles, and requires considerable core work and strength. Modern dancers often perform barefoot and propel across the floor
Tap - Theatrical
Tap Dance uses precise rhythmical patterns incorporating foot movements and audible foot tapping. Body movements are loose and expansive. The style is characterised by dazzling footwork, co-ordination and musicality
Hip Hop - Exciting
A form of street dance, hip hop combines a variety of freestyle movements to create a cultural piece of art synchronised to a set of musical beats. The dance form contains trick-type elements and floorwork at an advanced level
Acrobatic - Innovative
Also known as Acro, is a fusion of classical dance techniques using the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements by showcasing flexibility, strength, balancing, limbering and tumbling
Lyrical - Individual
Lyrical dance is a style that combines ballet and jazz technique. It is performed to music with lyrics and inspires the expression of strong emotion
Contemporary - Interpretive
Embraces innovation, blending techniques from classical ballet, jazz, modern dance and lyrical dance
Combining Dance Styles
We often get asked by parents whether training in more than one dance style would be of benefit to their child/children or hinder their progress in the long-term. The answer has more to do with the level of teacher expertise and awareness than stylistic dissimilarities.
Receiving tuition in varied dance styles that compliment one another provides the young dancer a broader scope to develop strength and versatility. Dancers are required to showcase their ability in different styles and techniques within the competition circuit, as well as during the audition process for many international dance companies.
Children thrive in a varied environment where they learn to use their bodies in different ways and express themselves by acquiring new perspectives. We've made the decision easier for parents by pairing dance forms that help the child develop technically and artistically
