  • Adult hip-hop is a fun and energetic dance style that uses strong, sharp movements to music, often with a focus on rhythm and personal style. It’s great for mature beginners because it doesn’t require previous dance experience and allows dancers to move at their own pace. The style includes cool moves like isolations and footwork, while encouraging creativity and self-expression. It’s a great way to get active and have fun while learning dance!

  • Open cabaret is a fun and theatrical dance style that blends jazz, burlesque, and musical theater. It features dramatic, confident movements, playful gestures, and often incorporates glamorous costumes and expressive facial expressions. The style is performed in heels, adding an extra element of flair and confidence. Great for beginners, open cabaret allows dancers to explore their creativity and build confidence while learning the basics of rhythm, posture, and performance. The choreography is flexible, making it accessible and enjoyable for dancers of all levels.

  • The Royal Academy of Dance's Silver Swans program is a unique and inclusive initiative aimed at older adults, offering them the opportunity to experience the joy of ballet. Designed for participants over 55, Silver Swans classes focus on improving strength, flexibility, and balance while providing a nurturing environment for individuals to express themselves through dance. These classes are accessible to both novice and experienced dancers, and they help promote a sense of well-being and self-confidence. The program has gained popularity to stay active, connect with others, and enjoy the artistic and physical benefits of ballet, proving that dance knows no age limits.

  • Lyrical is a Slow Modern/Neo-Classical style of dance incorporating classical technique with modern expressions and a slight contemporary feel. The class is aimed at the more mature dancer that can fully express and portray emotion and feeling, and therefore consists of mainly adults (with mature-minded younger students). The lyrical class is structured with a gentle warm up, followed by technical exercises, then lyrical choreography.
