ACROBATICS
(18mths - Elite Level)
Acro is a very big favourite at BDA for students of all ages. BDA has acrobatic mats and tumbling tracks to help students to achieve their tricks at a faster rate. We have updated acrobatic equipment and safety belts to also help students to secure their tricks. Our acrobatic classes consist of balancing, tumbling, jumping and movement. Core and upper body strength is gained through balancing and a fun innovative program has also been developed for our younger students.  We strongly recommend the jazz genre to compliment acrobatics as it helps develop musicality, flexibility and further body awareness.
HIP HOP
(All Ages)
Come and join our exciting hip hop classes in 2023! Hip Hop dance refers to street dance styles performed to funky upbeat music. This genre is constantly evolving and is a free, funky and soulful expression of movement that is very popular at BDA. We have classes for all ages from juniors right through to senior students. This genre is popular for boys and girls!!
CHEER
(18mths - Elite Level)
This year BDA is introducing Cheerleading to our timetable. We are very excited to be able to give our students the opportunity of expanding their acro & tumbling knowledge.  Cheerleading is a team activity which encourages team sportsmanship and contains elements of tumbling, stunts, acro & jumps. Cheerleading is fun, high energy and promotes confidents, independence & trust between team members.
ACRO FLEXIBILITY & CONDITIONING
(8yrs - Elite Level)
This Year BDA is introducing Acro Flexibility/Conditioning to our timetable & adding this to our Acro Dancer Package.
We are looking forward to introducing this important class to our timetable and encourage all acrobatic students to join us in 2023. Back, hip, shoulder and leg flexibility is extremely important for our acrobats. With enhanced range of motion and flexibility it helps our dancers to achieve a greater range of tricks whilst preventing injury.
CLASSICAL BALLET
(All Ages)
A beautiful traditional genre known for its flowing, precise movements and its style and grace.
We are re introducing the Cecchetti method in our classical ballet classes for 2023 along side RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) to develop skills in our dancers such as strength and elasticity. Exams are available with workshops being offered throughout the year. Classical Ballet is a genre that strongly compliments all other styles and gives students poise, discipline and confidence.
PROGRESSING BALLET TECHNIQUEÂ (PBT)
(8yrs - Senior Level)
Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is an innovative body-conditioning and strengthening program that has been designed to enhance students' technique by focussing on training the muscle memory required in each exercise in all forms of dance. It is a unique training system using ballet-technique specific exercises to train skill acquisition in a graded and progressive manner from junior through to advanced levels. The program helps with injury prevention, rehabilitation and enhances the ability of athletes to perform at their best. PBT focuses on core strength, weight placement and alignment of the body with a gradual approach of carefully designed exercises and repetitions of these exercises that trigger their muscle memory. PBT is not only a program to improve technique in ballet dancers, it is now being appreciated and incorporated in training by all forms of dancers, athletes, physiotherapists and even footballers!
JUMPS, KICKS, TURNS & STRENGTH
(All Ages)
This class is designed to focus on the dancers "trick" elements to use between choreography in routines. Here they can learn, improve and perfect new techniques in Jumps, kicks and turns.
This class is great in addition with any style, as the elements they learn through this class can then be used for any style of dance they are learning, with ease.
CONTEMPORARY
(Intermediate - Senior Level)
Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet.  Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements. This style of dance is becoming increasingly popular at BDA as students explore the exciting elements of this genre.
JAZZ
(All Ages)
An energetic fast paced jazz dance style that also incorporates elements of hip hop and street jazz. It is influenced by pop music and classes consist of warm up, cardio, technique and dance routines. A fun and energetic class to participate in with friends!
TAP
(All Ages)
Tap is a wonderful genre for co-ordination and improving the ability to increase concentration.  Musicality, rhythm and the different sounds made by the feet make this an exciting and challenging genre.  This class is encouraged from a young age as it teaches the importance of concentration and listening to the break down of sounds.  Counting and understanding the sounds required to make different steps gives students the knowledge to understand music for all genres.
LYRICAL
(Junior - Senior Level)
Lyrical is a genre that combines the techniques of jazz and classical ballet. It is a slower, melodic and more expressive form of jazz often to ballad music. Dancers gain fluidity of movement, grace and control. This genre is becoming a very popular style within the world of dance and as a result many students are taking up the opportunity to enrol in 2023
