Street Dance Elite: for students age 14 and above run by Colours of Dance - Chrissie at Cambridge Dance Studios Studio 4 on Thu at 7:25 PM
Classes start at age 4, this is a highly popular dance style. Classes strive towards unity and clarity of movement from individuals during routines but also as a whole group whilst exploring the diverse and on trend style. Children can look ahead to taking medal tests, a fun and enjoyable way to show off what they have learnt over a term twice a year and be rewarded with a medal or trophy!
Street Dance is an umbrella term for a variety of new dance styles including, but not limited to; locking & popping, hiphop and b-boy breaking.
Classes are organised according to age and ability: Beginner - approx age 4-6, Junior - approx age 6-8 Intermediate - approx age 8-11yrs Senior - approx age 11-15 Elite - approx age 12+ (entry to this class is solely at the discretion of the teacher and is based on ability)
We are proud to say that Colours of Dance students have an extremely high pass rate in Streetdance Medal Tests.
Medal Tests can be undertaken at a variety of levels, appropriate to the ability and experience of the child, and it is normal to have children of different levels and experience in the same weekly class. The teacher will manage the challenge or standard of output required of each child on an individual basis within the class context. This makes for a lovely class dynamic, as peer-friendships can be maintained, even while skill levels within a peer-group might differ.

All classes are taught using imagination and a variety of musical styles, to encourage, energise and motivate every student irrespective of ability. The opportunity to participate in Examinations & Class Awards are offered to all students when they are considered ready, but are not mandatory for successful progression.

Pre-Ballet for children age 3-5, the First Steps (age 3-4) and Next Steps (age 4-5) classes form an ideal foundation for ballet and other styles of dance. Children attend these classes independently and learn basic steps and how to handle themselves in a dance-class environment. First Steps and Next Steps are not examined, although the teacher monitors progress against a set of criteria set by the Principal to ensure their development.
Boys Ballet: A Ballet class exclusively for boys aged 7-11 taught by the Principal. This is a non-syllabus class introducing ballet posture, style and steps specific to boys to develop their strength, coordination and confidence. Students may attend this class as an addition to their regular dance class or as their weekly dance class. The choice of music, environment, atmosphere in the studio and language is all designed to enthuse and inspire male dancers.
