TRAINING
We begin our youngest dancers with combination classes which have a mixture of both ballet, jazz & lyrical foundations. Dance at this young age is about learning good technique through fun interactive exercises and dances. When children are ready, they will progress into the next level and classes will start to split and separated class options will become available.
Ballet – We teach our children the internationally recognized BBO Ballet syllabus. These include optional exams/assessments.
Jazz/Lyrical – This is an exciting class combining Jazz dance and expressive Lyrical dance. Children will be taught the SCS Commercial syllabus exercises as part of their training and learn routines. All music is appropriate for each age group and regularly checked.
PERFORMANCES
The students in the Selwyn House Dance Programme will be invited to perform in these concerts
Sunday 20th June – Informal Presentation (Silhouette Studios Theatre)

We will also be offering students the opportunity to do solo routines for medal tests and competitions. Please contact us if you would like more information about this.
