Grade 2 Contemporary For students from Age 9 run by Colours of Dance - Miss Beth at Cambridge Dance Studios Studio 4 on Fri at 4:30 PM
These classes offer a creative way to move and think. Students will be taught exercises to improve rhythm & timing, posture and coordination. Dancers will also be introduced to contemporary concepts & choreography, creating their own movements and sequences, and learn how to describe both simple and complex movements in suitable language.
Rambert Grades All graded contemporary classes follow the Rambert Grades syllabus and assessment model - implemented for the first time during 2023. We offer Rambert Grades classes from Pre-Primary to Grade 5.
Adult Classes Our Contemporary dance class for adults is an hour long lesson led by one of our Contemporary teachers. It offers a creative and expressive space where dancers of all levels can explore movement, connect with music, and develop their physical awareness. Contemporary dance is incredibly accessible and inclusive, so whether you're returning to dance or stepping into the studio for the first time, this class invites you to challenge your body, open your mind, and enjoy the process of moving with intention and artistry.
Children's Ballet:
Classes follow the RAD syllabus.
Ballet classes are based around a series of exercises & dances, specifically designed to increase strength, posture, technique, musicality and performance. 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.
Entry ages for each class are approximately as follows, but will vary according to experience and aptitude and are decided by the Principal:
Pre-Primary in Dance - 5 years old Primary in Dance - 6 years old Grade 1 - 7 years old Grade 2 to Grade 4 - from 8 years old Grade 5 to Grade 8 - from 10 years old Intermediate Foundation to Advanced - from 11 years old
Pre-Ballet for children ages 18 months to 5 years old, Explorers in Dance (age 18m - 2) the Adventures in Dance (age 3-4) and Dance Artists (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. These classes are not examined, although the teacher monitors progress against a set of criteria set by the Principal to ensure their development.
We are proud to say that Colours of Dance students have an extremely high pass rate in Medal Tests and Exams.
Classes follow the RAD training methodology, building towards the presentation of a set age-appropriate syllabus at examination as a student progresses through the grades.
