Street and commercial dance is essential for building coordination and performance skills! It improves our pupils’ confidence, musicality, and their ability to pick up new styles and routines whilst also allowing their personality to really shine. It’s the style that is most often seen at pop concerts and in music videos, and is a lot of fun learning to express yourself in class and on stage in our big shows!
Street/commercial is danced to current and recent chart music and covers a wide range of musical styles. We always make sure that our routines and music choices are age-appropriate and suitable for the level.
Our street/commercial classes can be taken as a stand-alone class or alongside our CORE Galaxy or Classic/Dynamic pathways. We have three levels:
Junior Street – 45 mins (age 5-7)
Do you want to learn the coolest moves to the latest tunes? In Junior Street we will learn the foundation moves of street/hip hop and put them into a fun dance routine that you’ll want to dance everywhere!
Inter Street – 45 mins (age 8-11)
In Inter Street, we’ll start to learn more complicated footwork, grooves and isolations to make our dancing really sharp and dynamic! We’ll have lots of fun learning new skills and exciting routines together.
Advanced Street – 1 hour (age 12+)
Your rhythm and musicality will be challenged with a variety of different styles and choreography! Each lesson will contain an element of strength and conditioning to support your moves and heighten your performance skills. A new routine will be taught every 3-4 weeks.
Uniform
Students are allowed to wear their own clothes for street, as long as they are suitable for dancing. Options might include tracksuit bottoms/leggings/dance shorts with a baggy T-shirt/hoodie/vest top on top. No jeans, leather, or skirts. Clean and supportive trainers must be worn.
