Tap at this level is no longer for beginners as we begin to push to learn more complex vocabulary, footwork & rhythm whilst developing a higher knowledge of the varying techniques used whilst performed in
a variation of styles.
We begin to look at the deeper understanding of the historical root of Tap and introduce a greater understanding of the many American influences that have been used to create the work.
And here at PHAD Miss Kim's passion for Tap offers some of the best classes around.

Contemporary combines much of the modern and ballet technique to create its own unique fluid style. This mature genre provides a way for a student to really engage with their centre in a very mindful approach, increasing their strength and will also allow them to tap into their own emotions.
Not only do they learn new techniques and styles but they learn to how to use those emotions to enhance their performance skills to really tell a story through their movements.
MUSICAL THEATRE
MUSICAL THEATRE
10yrs+
ROYDON VILLAGE HALL, HARLOW – Monday 5.45-7.00pm
Musical theatre is a great class to discovering all things theatrical but more importantly to increase their self-esteem and confidence as they begin to discover more about themselves. Not only do we delve into the dance styles of the many West End and Broadway shows, we also learn the history behind the shows and the choreographers too. Studying acting techniques through games and scripts, working solo or in groups, as well as exploring their voices through singing brings an all-round sense of training for that ‘triple threat’ status.

Jazz Technique is a must for those beginning to work at a higher level of examinations and has also shown to improve exam results.
It is important that each student feels confident and safe in their own abilities, to cope with the demands required on their body.
With a unique progressive programme written by the Principal Miss Kim, they not only continue to improve the elements they have already learnt but we see them beginning to increase their understanding of muscle groups and joints to allow them to understand what each movement requires to ensure they are technically correct and continually increasing their strength, flexibility and stamina that is required for the more advanced levels.

Whilst we use the crash mats and practise safe teaching, this class provides not only a well structured lesson but it is aimed to be a lot of fun as they begin to combine both Acro and dance elements to create some truly beautiful work.
