GRADED, PRE-VOCATIONAL & VOCATIONAL CLASSES IN DANCE
From 10 years of age the majority of ASD students will be transitioning into Pre-Vocational Classes. Pointe work may be studied once the required physical strength has been achieved, This is assessed on an individual basis and therefore not a foregone conclusion that your child will undertake pointe work at the same time as others in their class.
There is a large variety of classes for this age group. Students are often invited to attend Guest Teacher workshops , together with auditions ( when and if ready) for professional associate schemes.
All students are invited to attend the schools Bi-Annual school show performed at a professional theatre.

ACRO CLASSES
Mondays - 19:00pm Grade 4/5
Tuesdays - 19:00pm Grade 4/5
Thursdays - 17:00pm Grade 2
Thursdays - 19.15pm Grade 5/6
Fridays - 18:00 Tumbling class
Aspirations School of Dance follows the Acrobatic Arts syllabus. We believe that acro is not purely the performing of tricks. It is an art-form in itself that when performed correctly enables the dancer to seamlessly and effortlessly include ‘some’ acrobatic skills into their routine. The elements placed into choreography should have meaning and purpose and are not their purely for acrobatic prowess.
TAP CLASSES
Tuesdays 16:15 Grade 3
Wednesdays - 17:30 Grade 4
Thursdays - 17:45pm Grade 1
Fridays- 15:45PM Grade 2
At ASD we believe that Tap Dance is an asset to any dancer’s curriculum. Taps quick movements strengthen the ankles while working the many muscle groups that support and strengthen the joint. The discipline, like many forms of dance, offers other benefits, too. It uses fine motor movement and requires a lot of control. We study various styles to include The Les Griffith Tap Dance Technique and BATD (The British Association of Teachers of Dancing) examination syllabi.
MUSICAL THEATRE CLASSES
Saturdays - 12:00pm Senior MT 11yrs+
Musical Theatre is one of the fastest growing areas of interest within the dramatic arts. At Aspirations School Of Dance we study both The Trinity Musical Theatre Syllabus and The Professional Teachers Of Dance Syllabi to give a well rounded appreciation of performance.
