ISTD Ballet, Tap & Modern Combined Classes

4 - 11 Years
A perfect and economical way to build a strong foundation across all our dance genres before choosing to specialise at senior class level.  These classes, for girls and boys, are based on the ISTD Ballet, Modern and Tap examination syllabi, with lots of imaginative fun in the lower grades. The course builds gradually, ensuring steps learned at lower levels prepare dancers for more complex movements. Examinations are encouraged but are not compulsory.

Modern Dance is often seen on the stages of musical productions and is known for its theatrical qualities. 

The ISTD Modern syllabus includes Jazz, Lyrical and Musical Theatre enabling the dancer to show their personality and style.

The genre uses travelling steps, kicks, leaps and turns which all need good technique, strength and flexibility.

My daughter Belle has been attending Caroline Graham School of Dancing for 3 years and from the very first lesson, Caroline has shown her dedication and commitment to Belle’s journey as a dancer. Progress has been significant as she only started ballet aged 12, yet on Caroline’s suggestion, she auditioned for the English Youth Ballet after just over a year’s lessons and was successful.
