DanceThe Oakville Academy for the Arts offers a range of exciting dance opportunities for students of all ages. Our teachers are trained to introduce and develop dancers of all levels to a high caliber of performance. The recreational programs are designed specifically for the enjoyment of the students wishing to explore all or some of the various dance forms. Students are evaluated and slotted into the appropriate skill levels and perform annually at the Academy’s Recital Hip Hop is the newest dance craze. A "fun" high energy dance form, which combines jazz with street style dance, made famous through music videos. Hip Hop reflects North American urban culture and allows dancers to express their individualism like no other dance form. Hip Hop is perfect for those without dance experience who want exercise, the opportunity to meet new friends and to have a blast. Levels range from beginner to competitive.
Jazz is an energetic dance form that combines current dance and music trends. The classes consist of a warm-up, down the floor progressions and a stylized combination. Tap develops precision, coordination and rhythmic appreciation as it uses the body as an instrument. Classical, Funk and Hoofin styles are covered with particular emphasis put on the quality of sound and technique. Ballet is the most elementary and important of all dance instruction. Ballet is considered to be the foundation of all dance forms. All Ballet students will follow the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus. Ballet Foundations is a specially designed program for students interested in starting ballet or going back to the program after a hiatus. Ages 10 to 13 and then 14 and over are given intense but fun training to bring their skills up to the appropriate R.A.D. age level over the course of the year. This is an excellent method to start this beautiful dance form a little later in life and produce stunning results. Lyrical dance is a fusion of ballet and jazz techniques. Usually inspired by slow music, lyrical reflects the actual lyrics of the songs, and allows dancers to express their inner emotion. Dancers gain fluidity of movement, grace, control, and individual expression. Lyrical is offered to students ages 13 and up. Acrobatics combines flexibility and strength of the entire body. Artistic illusions are created by incorporating tricks, balance work and tumbling in addition to dance steps to link each acro element together. There are classes available for beginner, intermediate and advanced students in all dance forms. Please check with the Registration Centre for times and availability. Schedule 2009
