1.CLASSICAL BALLET
Classical Ballet is the most formal style
of dance. It originated as a social/court dance in France in the 16th century.
Over the 19th century Classical technique was perfected as we know it today.
Classical Ballet is performed by both male and female dancers, and can tell a
story through mime, or stand alone as a performance piece. Classical Ballet is
known for its precision, pointe work, turn out of the legs, high extensions,
graceful and flowing movements, and ethereal qualities.
At Jitterbugs Swingapore our students
will understudy examinations in both the CSTD and RAD syllabi. Being trained in
both an examination and open format, they will develop a strong understanding
of Classical technique, musicality and artistry.

2.MODERN JAZZ
‘Jazz’ is a classification shared by a
broad range of dance styles. Jazz is heavily influenced by the commercial music
of the time. Styles range from Technical Jazz and Broadway Jazz, to Jazz Funk
and Hip-Hop. Lyrical and Contemporary are also variations of Jazz.
The CSTD Modern Jazz syllabus was
conceived and developed by prominent dance educators, Sandra Breen and Rachelle
Conroy in association with many of Australia’s leading choreographers. This
complete training system in jazz dance combines strength, flexibility and Jazz
technique with elements of Lyrical, Contemporary, Hip-Hop and Commercial Jazz,

3.TAPPING
Tap dance is the music of the feet by
making a rhythm. Beats are created by the metal plates on the bottom of the
dancers’ shoes making contact with a hard surface. Tap dancers are often
considered percussive musicians as a result of the music they produce.
Performance styles range from a traditional Broadway-style Tap, to a funkier
style of Rhythm Tap. CSTD Preliminary and Medal examinations are offered,
beginning with Preliminary 1, which introduces basic barre and centre
exercises, simple combinations and Tap dance. This gives the student a real
feeling of achievement and prepares them for the intricacies of more advanced
steps and choreography.

4.Junior Acrobatics
Class Description
Coached by Ms Tiffany Wrightson / Ms
Sarah Tan Kiat Teng, Acrobatics is the beautiful fusion of classic dance
technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Acrobatic
technique includes balancing, limbering, tumbling and partnering, and is based
in flexibility, contortion and strength. It is important to note that
Acrobatics differs greatly from Gymnastics – the techniques taught in
acrobatics allow for a seamless transition between tricks and dance and for the
student to land safely on a dance floor, not on a highly sprung Gymnastics
floor. At Jitterbugs we train our students safely and effectively in the
Acrobatic Arts syllabus and students will take their respective Acrobatic Arts
examinations at the end of each year. This comprehensive program comprises of
well-structured progressions that take the beginner student from log rolls and
summersaults to the advanced dancer tumbling effortlessly across the stage. Our
Acrobatic dancers will also have the opportunity to showcase their skills in
our annual concert.
