​Nydza School of Dance and Performing Arts 

Ballet

Babies Ballet begins at the age of two and is centred on creative movement, musicality and learning to dance together
Pre-Assessment begins at the age of four and while still being centred on creativity like babies ballet, there are some technical steps that now can be introduced.  At this stage students will have the opportunity to take their first exam.
Moving up from Pre-Assessment to Pre-Primary students are able to continue to develop their dance ability and exams from this grade onwards will require more technical ability.
Primary level students will have their first introduction to Barre work, which they will also do within their exam.
 Students in Grades one to three will have longer classes to develop their technical ability and the students now start to learn the language of dance which is used throughout the lessons.
From Grade four and above the students will develop the artistry of dance, learning more about line, expression and movement.  Pointe work is now introduced for girls and more Grande Allegro is introduced for boys.
Intermediate Foundation is the first of the senior grades and is followed by Intermediate and Advanced.

 

Jazz 

Jazz classes begin from the age of four with boys and girls both being encouraged to start.  Jazz dance can be modern but also the school experiments with different styles of Jazz from different time periods, for example previously the students have been involved in a 1920s Charleston.   Jazz classes are popular with all ages and range from beginners through to advanced.      

 

Tap

Tap classes begin from the age of four and range from Pre-assessment through to Advanced level.  Adult Tap classes are also available for those with previous experience.Tap is a dance style made up of key basic movements to form rhythmic and interesting sounding moves and routines. These basic movements advance as you progress through the grades, therefore allowing you to improve in a different aspect of dance.
