Tap and Modern
Tap and Modern is first introduced in our Little Cygnets classes at a very basic level working with songs and games.
Footlight follow the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (ISTD) curriculum from reception age.
Students work their way up through the ISTD grades to Grade 6, at which point those that are capable will move on to Vocational examinations: Intermediate, Advanced 1 and Advanced 2.
Tap encourages children’s natural rhythm and musicality. In the last 5 years, Footlight has built up an enviable reputation and regularly perform locally, they have also competed in festivals and won many medals and trophies.
Modern is an amalgamation of many other styles of dance, and it is often the genre you might expect to see on the west end stage. As the students get older, much of the work they cover is also greatly influenced by contemporary dance.
Modern is great fun, and a perfect way to compliment and enhance the children’s other dance styles.
Primary Tap and Grade 1 Modern
This fun and funky little class introduces your child to the energetic and current modern and tap dance styles.
In each lesson your child will enjoy 30 minutes of each genre, using their creativity, and expressive personalities to hide from the creatures in the pond, blow fairy dust to the fairies, catch secrets and explore the sounds their feet can make using age-appropriate dance movements and skilful teaching.
