JUNIOR DANCE CLASSES

The best dance style for kids to start with is often ballet. Ballet provides a strong foundation in dance technique, emphasizing proper body alignment, discipline, and coordination.

From 4 years old children can also benefit from our AcroDance program, with classes focusing on improving strength and flexibility, as well as tumbling skills such as cartwheels and handstands.

Yes! Showcases and participation in local and international competitions are integral parts of our programs. These opportunities allow our students to demonstrate their skills, bond with their peers, and face new challenges. 

While Acrobatics and Gymnastics share some similarities such as elements of tumbling and a large focus on strength and flexibility, Acro is a style of dance, rather than a competitive sport.  Acro has a greater emphasis on artistry and fluidity from one skill to another and skills can be combined with other dance styles such as contemporary or jazz.  At Studio Republik we teach the Acrobatic Arts syllabus which focuses on 5 key areas: flexibility, strength, balancing, limbering and tumbling. AcroDance blends seamlessly these acrobatic skills with classic dance technique, creating a beautiful fusion of skills onstage.  

We offer annual examinations for children who take classes in Ballet, Hip-Hop, Cheerleading and Acro.  These examinations are conducted by both the International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA) and Acrobatic Arts.  Each child’s skills and performance qualities are assessed and successful candidates receive certificates and/or medals.  Candidates who successfully take Acrobatic Arts exams will have the opportunity to move up to the next level.
