Ballet

Ballet provides the foundations for many other forms of dance, developing balance, coordination, strength, poise and musicality.

At LMSD, dancers learn classical ballet technique while building confidence and developing the control and discipline that help create a strong, capable dancer. Classes provide opportunities to progress through graded work, examinations and performance as dancers develop.

Tap Dancing

Tap dancing is all about rhythm, timing and musicality — creating music with your feet while developing coordination and technique.

LMSD tap classes combine energetic movement with cardiovascular fitness, strength and flexibility. As dancers progress, they develop increasingly confident and precise footwork — and there is nothing quite like hearing a whole group tapping out a routine together in perfect time.

Modern & Jazz

Modern and jazz dance combine energy, creativity and expression, helping dancers develop flexibility, strength, coordination and confidence.

Classes explore a variety of movement and performance styles, incorporating floor work, jumps, musicality and expressive routines. Dancers are encouraged to develop not only their technique but their own performance style and confidence on stage.

Contemporary

Contemporary dance combines technique, creativity and expression, encouraging dancers to explore movement in a more fluid and individual way.

Classes help develop strength, flexibility, coordination and control while giving dancers opportunities to interpret music and express ideas and emotions through movement. Contemporary dance also encourages creative thinking, confidence and individual performance.

Street Dance

Street dance is energetic, expressive and great fun, combining dynamic movement with current music and contemporary styles.

Classes encourage dancers to develop rhythm, coordination and confidence while learning routines and exploring different street dance movements. It's a great way to build performance skills, develop individual style and enjoy dancing with others.

Musical Theatre

Musical theatre brings together dance, acting and performance, giving dancers the opportunity to develop character, confidence and stage presence.

Classes explore routines, songs, scripts and characters inspired by the world of musical theatre. Dancers learn how movement and performance can help tell a story, developing the skills and confidence to bring characters to life on stage.

Acro Gymnastics

Acro Gymnastics combines dance with acrobatic skills, helping dancers develop strength, flexibility, coordination and body awareness.

Classes are structured around age and ability, allowing dancers to develop their skills safely and progressively. As confidence and technique grow, dancers can work towards increasingly challenging movements while learning how to incorporate acrobatic skills into dance and performance.

First Steps

First Steps provides a fun and friendly introduction to dance for our youngest dancers, with Petite Ballet and Toddler Tap designed to encourage a love of movement from an early age.

Using music, movement, songs and familiar nursery rhymes, classes help young children develop coordination, balance, confidence and body awareness while learning through play and having fun.

Line Dancing

Line dancing is a fun and sociable way to enjoy dance while keeping active, with routines set to a wide variety of music.

Classes help develop rhythm, coordination, mobility and memory while providing an enjoyable form of exercise. You don't need a partner — just come along, learn the steps and enjoy dancing with the group.
