Dance styles we teach

“ I like Fiery Feet because we always have good fun ”

Connie, (Aged 7)

Ballet Considered to be the most important of all dance disciplines, our ballet classes involve a variety of arm and leg exercises, turning combinations, balancing and travelling work. The skills learned in our ballet classes greatly benefit all of the disciplines Fiery Feet has to offer.

Modern A broad discipline, which incorporates a combination of turns, balances, floor work and travelling movements. Students develop flexibility, strength and co-ordination in our modern dance classes. This class focuses on expression of music, and thus modern dance can include anything from cabaret to street style routines.

Tap A great class for developing rhythm and timing, in which tap shoes are used to create different sounds and beats, through movement of the feet. Changes in tempo and direction make tap a challenging and versatile dance form.

Acrobatics This is dance-based gymnastics, where students develop flexibility and strength as well as learning tumbling and balance acrobatics. Students also work with each other to practise ‘tricks’ for demonstrations and shows. Students love this class as it enables them to really impress their friends and family.

Lyrical Lyrical is based upon the expression of music, and communicating emotion through dance. This class can most accurately be described as a union of modern and ballet dance, combining the technique of the ballet with the versatility of the modern.

Street Students are given the opportunity to learn routines to RnB, Pop and Dance music, as well as developing break-dancing skills. This fun, energetic and popular class is great for building confidence and meeting new people.

Stage This class is offered in addition to the attendance of a ‘Combination Class’ to those students who show outstanding ability and strong performance skills. In this class the students are taught routines designed for entry into competitions, and are given the opportunity to perform more regularly at regionally events.

Private Tuition Fiery Feet can also arrange tuition for your child on a one to one basis, allowing us to focus on their development in a more individual manner.
