JCDC Dance Disciplines
Classical Ballet
Classical training creates in the student dancer a sense of discipline and, physical and aesthetic awareness of ‘placement’ and ‘line’. This is absolutely essential to the provision of a solid foundation on which to build other dancing and non-dancing performance skills. Our dance programme has a large number of ballet classes, supervised by highly qualified tutors, who possess both academic and performance experience.
Programmes
Contemporary Dance
Our programme places great emphasis on the importance of a close student/teacher relationship and uses methods based Graham, Cunningham and Limón. The course provides a rich vocabulary of dance techniques ensuring that both the aesthetic and physical aspect of current contemporary dance are truly explored. Students are taught to pace and analyse their work and are carefully monitored throughout their training.
Programmes
Modern Theatre - Jazz Dance
A very thorough system of jazz dance technique is undertaken since this has a proven track record of training professional dancers. It is based on the work of the pioneering jazz dancers. The technique provides an exhaustive system of complex isolation exercises, which are a logical extension to a classical training. A dancer properly schooled in this technique acquires a high degree of co-ordination, together with facility for analysing movement, which is an essential skill required for making rapid adjustment to the various styles encountered in the course of a professional career.

Tap Dance
Tap has its roots in the United States due to the migration of many Northern Europeans especially the Irish and the many Negro slaves in the USA. The combination of their forms of singing and dancing meant tap was on its way. Tap is a special blend of sound, rhythm and movement. Nowadays it is a much more sophisticated dance style having a place on stage and film. At the Dance Conservatoire we can offer classes for a wide range of talent and experience from young children to adults and it is a unique way to dance and feel the rhythm!
