Classical ballet is the foundation of dance, based on formal movements and positions designed to allow for the highest class of agility, grace, speed, and control. At LJR Dance Academy, students study the Borovansky Method of Classical ballet, and have the opportunity to sit exams. We choose to offer this syllabus as it contains a high level of technical precision and structured training, whilst also engaging and encouraging each student\u2019s dance quality, artistry, and performance. The Borovansky Syllabus is a combination of European and Russian methods which takes students through the official grading schemes of technical and artistic movements. In the younger grades, students are taught the basics of Classical ballet and how to successfully execute movements using correct muscles and technique. Once LJR has decided that a student is ready to progress to the next grade, they will have the opportunity to complete an examination. This examination will certify that the student displays the technical and stylistic attributes to further their training. Students typically complete annual examinations to receive their accreditation, which is particularly important to accomplish if they are dedicated to pursuing a career in dance. Students are also taught theory, which progresses throughout the grade levels and will be assessed during the exams. More information regarding exams can be found in our Examination Handbook.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Pointe work is the process by which a dancer performs Classical techniques by supporting their body weight within\u00a0their pointe\u00a0shoes. Each student must be assessed before they can dance en pointe, as pointe work requires strong ballet technique and strength within the student\u2019s feet and other muscles. Students will be able to learn the basics of pointe work, such as stepping up to pointe, how to hold the foot correctly in the shoe and the correct technique to execute a variety of steps. As students technically progress in their pointe work and further their knowledge and strength, they will advance into learning new steps that require a stronger pointe work technique.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The genre of Jazz has evolved over time, currently encompassing the elements of isolations, grounded movement, syncopation, and contractions to upbeat music.\u00a0 At LJR Dance Academy, students learn the Comdance Modern Jazz Syllabus and are given the opportunity to sit examinations. We choose to offer this syllabus as it enhances coordination, flexibility, stamina as well as giving students performance-based skills. Young students begin to learn the basics of jazz technique such as skipping, marching, isolating and dance combinations. They then progress through the grades, improving their jazz technique and increasing their repertoire of steps. Each grade begins with alternating warm up exercises and a floor stretch to ensure safe dance practices. Students are then asked to complete a series of corner work exercises, such as kick combinations, turning combinations, and jumping combinations. Following this, students are asked to perform a short dance routine with steps they have learnt in their grade. When progressing through the grades, students are taught different routines to develop their jazz technique and stylistic abilities. This syllabus also includes Lyrical and Contemporary in the advanced grades. Students are taught theory in the advance grades, which progresses throughout the grade levels and will be assessed during the exams. More information regarding exams can be found in our Examination Handbook.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tap is a genre of dance where metal taps are attached to the heel and ball of a soft shoe as a form of percussion. At LJR Dance Academy, younger students learn the LJR Tap Syllabus older students learn the Glen Wood Tap Syllabus. They also have the opportunity to sit examinations. We choose to offer these syllabi as the progression throughout the grades enables students to correctly execute challenging steps and syncopations, while also developing musicality and rhythmic skills. Our younger Tap students are guided through a technical introduction to the genre of Tap. They learn the basic elements of Tap such as ankle movements, and how to use their knee and hip joints correctly. Students then learn basic movements such as a shuffle, toe hits, stamps and more. Throughout the higher levels students extend their knowledge of Tap steps and execute complex amalgamations and performance routines. In these grades, students are required to learn the theory relevant to their grade. Theory assists the students to understand the technique of each step and how it can be counted in different routines. More information regarding exams can be found in our Examination Handbook.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Troupe lessons are for the purpose of learning group routines to compete with at competitions and perform at the concert. We aim to help students build technique whilst learning and practicing the choreography given to them.\u00a0All students enrolled in Troupe will have the opportunity to perform on stage with the whole group at concert events.\u00a0Troupes are important for dancers to participate in to foster a sense of teamwork in order to achieve a goal. Dancing on stage with your team is a feeling like no other and is extremely special to share with your dance friends.

Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is a body-conditioning and strengthening program that enhances students\u2019 dance technique and progression. PBT focusses on training the muscle memory required for multiple dance exercises. This program additionally assists with injury prevention and rehabilitation, which further enhances the ability of the dancer. It is sometimes challenging for students to feel and understand which muscles they need to engage to achieve the correct alignment and technique. However, PBT uses exercise balls, TheraBand\u2019s and much more to assist the students in understanding a good sense of posture, weight-placement and feel of each muscle group activating. At LJR Dance Academy, we teach PBT because the focus on core strength, weight placement, alignment of the body and repetition of exercises assists our students in becoming strong and technically precise dancers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The genre of acrobatics was formed from the basis of gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics and circus contortion. Acrobatic movements, commonly known as \u2018tricks\u2019 require good balance, strength and agility. At LJR Dance Academy, students begin to learn basic acrobatic techniques and tricks to foster strength, and progress into more challenging movements. Students are then able to learn tricks such as walkovers, ariels, back and front handsprings, front aerials and much more. Our acrobatics program is based on safe and effective progression where students learn strength and stretch, balancing, limbering, tumbling and contortion exercises.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The genre of Contemporary is a style of expressive dance containing modern movements derived from Ballet and Jazz. Like Contemporary, Lyrical is a genre of dance that highlights personal expression and meaningful lyrics. Contemporary and Lyrical connect the mind to the body, as the fluid movements convey emotions and stories of the individual. These genres are versatile and unstructured, allowing for the exploration of the movement, and creating a sense of improvisation, unlike ballet. These genres also focus on floor work, using gravity as an objective for contractions and releases. Our Contemporary classes at LJR Dance Academy promote creativity in the dancer, as they learn to interpret lyrics and express messages through movement. This encourages self-expression and allows for our students to share their thoughts and emotions, creating a sense of empowerment. Students will learn different Contemporary and Lyrical exercises and combinations to correctly endorse proper technique and movements in these genres.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Commercial Jazz is a modern dance style, taking elements of Jazz, Hip Hop, and urban dance to create an energetic and eye- catching genre. Commercial Jazz is commonly seen at live performances, in music videos, in films and commercials. At LJR Dance Academy we believe that Commercial Jazz is an extremely important genre for pre-professionals to train in, as many jobs in the industry require a strong Commercial Jazz technique. A student who trains in Commercial Jazz can have professional careers as a backup dancer for a singer, television work and much more. In our Commercial Jazz class, students learn different exercises to endorse proper Commercial Jazz technique and posture. Students also learn how to dance on camera and how to perform as a live backup dancer, with exercises to support these skill sets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
