Centenary Dance Academy Class Descriptions
Creative Dance
Creative Dance is the perfect introduction to dance for a child aged 3 or 4
years. In this fun-filled class students explore dance, musicality, drama and
imaginative play in a supportive and friendly environment. Our young dancers
use scarves, musical instruments, costumes and more as they experience the
joy of dance. Creative Dance is also a wonderful way for a child to develop a
foundational understanding of skills such as listening to directions and
interacting with peers.
Pre Primary Ballet
This class is based on the Royal Academy of Dance Pre Primary in Dance syllabus and introduces a
wide range of basic dance, drama and musicality elements in a positive and supportive environment.
The syllabus promotes and encourages enjoyment of movement. This class includes a free dance
segment, encouraging students to independently draw on their developing dance skills and creativity.
Primary/Grade One Foundation Ballet
This class is based on the Royal Academy of Dance Primary in Dance syllabus and develops the
students’ physical skills, stamina, creativity, expression and musicality using a range of sounds and
musical styles. The syllabus promotes and encourages enjoyment of movement. This strong foundation
prepares students for a successful transition to ballet and other dance genres at higher levels.
Primary Jazz
This fast-moving and fun-filled class caters for 5 to 7 year old boys and girls who love to dance and
move. The class uses popular kids music to introduce basic elements of dance and musicality. In these
lessons the students also learn valuable skills such as listening to and following directions and the
social skills required when interacting with their peers. This helps ready a student for more formal
learning situations both in dance and at school.
RAD Ballet
The studio offers RAD Ballet from Primary and Grade 1 through to the Vocational Grades. The Royal
Academy of Dance (RAD) is one of the largest and most influential dance education and training
organisations in the world.
Continued Over
www.centenarydance.com.au
The RAD Graded Examinations in Dance (Grade 1 – 5) consist of three disciplines:
•
•
•
Ballet: the foundation and the most important part of the syllabus;
Free Movement: incorporating styles such as Natural Movement, Contemporary and Classical
Greek Dance;
Character: the presentation of national styles, using original ethnic dance and music. The three
styles — Hungarian, Russian and Polish — were selected due to their importance in the
development of classical ballet.
The Vocational Graded Examinations (Intermediate Foundation to Advanced 2) provides an in-depth
study of ballet developing technique, music and performance skills and introducing pointe work for
female candidates. This highly-focused and practical training prepares students for a dance career.
These levels are for students from 12 years old.
Graded and Vocational Graded examinations are optional, upon recommendation by the teacher. All
exam students are required to attend two syllabus classes per week to be considered for examinations.
CSTD Tap
We offer classes in the CSTD syllabi for students from five years of age. Fun, rhythmic, interesting and
challenging, this style of dance is enjoyable to learn and exciting to perform. Annual examinations are
optional upon recommendation by the teacher. Classes are available for teen and adult beginner,
intermediate and advanced students.
CSTD Jazz
Our fun and energetic jazz classes are for male and female students from five years of age through to
teens and adults. Students study a range of styles including hip-hop, modern jazz and contemporary
dance. The classes include a foundational focus on strong technique as well as stylistic elements.
Annual CSTD examinations are optional upon recommendation by the teacher. Students also have the
opportunity to perform at a range of community events throughout the year.
Intermediate and Advanced Open Jazz
These classes are for students who have reached Jazz 5 level and would like to continue studying jazz
and contemporary style without sitting CSTD exams. Consisting of technique and learning different
styles, this class will keep your technique strong while focussing on learning routines and different
combinations.
Musical Theatre (song) Coming Soon7777..
Musical Theatre will consist of a group singing lesson led by a qualified and performance focussed
tutor. Combining singing and dancing, this class will focus on vocal technique and performance
confidence and is for students aged 12 and over.
Differently Abled Dance
We believe that dance is truly for everyone and this class ensures that everyone has the opportunity to
access dance. Students in this class learn jazz, hip-hop and a little ballet to a range of music styles in
this fun, friendly and supportive class. We cater for different levels of fitness and physical and other
abilities. Students perform in the annual concert with great success!
Contemporary
Students in this class learn innovative choreography whilst drawing upon their creative strengths. This
is an athletic class that enables students to study cutting-edge dance techniques. Specialist teachers
are employed to teach these classes.
www.centenarydance.com.au
Professional Open Ballet: Junior Extension, Intermediate & Advanced
For students who aspire to a professional career or for those who wish to study ballet more seriously,
we offer open ballet classes at intermediate and advanced levels. The classes do not draw upon a set
syllabus but instead follow the format of a professional class, encouraging students to develop their
ability to engage with ballet terminology and master various combinations. The intermediate and
advanced classes are taught by Tracey Carrodus (former principal dancer at Sydney Dance Company).
Adult Beginner Classes: Ballet, Jazz and Tap
Have you always wished you were able to dance but never had the opportunity? Or did you stop
dancing at some point but now want to return? Our popular beginner classes are perfect for adults who
have no prior dance experience or for those who are ‘out of practice’. Our classes are for people of all
shapes, sizes and ages. You will receive the utmost support and encouragement from our friendly
teachers who will cater for your individual levels of fitness and prior experience (if any). Participation in
the annual performance is an amazing experience but always optional!
Jazz Performance Troupe
Students in our jazz performance troupe showcase a variety of routines at local festivals, fetes and
other events. These dancers display outstanding technique, performance ability and commitment to
dance. By invitation only.
Ballet Performance Troupe
Students who have developed secure ballet technique and have demonstrated a commitment to their
dance will be invited to join this group. Students will learn a Performance Group Dance/s to showcase
at fetes, open days and eisteddfods. Students must be committed and be available to attend all
rehearsals and performances. By invitation only.
Pas de Deux
Pas de deux work is extremely beneficial for senior male and female students as the practice of holding
sustained positions is essential for both strength and technique consolidation. Students must
demonstrate secure posture, ballet technique and good core stability to be considered for this class.
Pas de deux classes for girls are an extension of their pointe and ballet classes. By invitation only.
Other Classes
From time to time other classes may be offered according to interest. Examples of such classes include
Repertoire and Ballroom. Please contact us if you are interested in a dance style that you do not see
offered here.
Private Lessons
Private lessons can be arranged by appointment only with the Jazz/Tap Director and Ballet Director.
One on one dance tuition is extremely beneficial before examinations and other specific dance events.
