To be part of the Competitive Team at Giselle’s Showtyme Dance, students must take two classes a week in ballet, tap and jazz, plus one gravity yoga class per week.
An examination program is offered to allow students to work towards a goal.
We also prepare dancers to compete in 3-4 competitions per year.
This program is ideal for students who wish to challenge themselves and are considering pursuing a career in the dance industry.
Ballet is one of the world’s most beautiful and revered art forms. Students enjoy building on a foundation of basic movements set to beautiful music as they grow their strength and abilities.
While it can be challenging at the higher levels, this traditional dance form is a pleasure to learn for all ages. Students who take ballet classes build self-control, body awareness and self discipline as they learn to master increasingly technical moves.
This popular and dynamic style is taught in a positive environment at Giselle’s Showtyme Dance. Jazz is enjoyable for any dancer who just wants to get moving!
Students have the opportunity to work towards competitive group or solo performances.
Made popular during the 20th Century, this appealing dance style still has its place in the modern world. Learning tap dancing is ideal for those hoping for a career in musical theatre or adults who have always wanted to give it a try.
Mastering this style of dance can help with coordination, rhythm, musicality and agility. Classes are ideal for students who want to be well-rounded dancers.
Yoga helps dancers to build their core stability and improve symmetry across their movements.
It also encourages flexibility, which gives dancers the agility they need to perform at their peak on stage.
These classes are also a great way for students to spend some quiet time focusing on their bodies and forgetting about the busy outside world.
Exam classes give students more opportunity to refine and gain confidence in their skills as well as learn the importance of both hard work and focus. While exams do take a lot of determination and focus, they are so rewarding for the dance teacher, the student and the parents as well.
Throughout the exam process, students will work towards their own personal potential and with a lot of hard work, will hopefully realize and reach that potential.
