Modern

Other classes See our timetable

A lively and theatrical dance style for children from Reception age through to senior grades.

Modern is where strong technique meets personality. Dancers learn to use their whole body to interpret music, express different emotions and bring routines to life.

Inspired by musical theatre, jazz and contemporary movement, classes are energetic and varied — ideal for children who love performing and dancing to a wide range of music.

What happens in class?

Classes include warm-ups, flexibility and strengthening exercises, kicks, leaps, turns, travelling steps and performance combinations. Dancers are encouraged to develop their own style, confidence and stage presence as they progress.

Classes follow the carefully structured ISTD Modern Theatre syllabus. Examinations are offered when pupils have reached the appropriate standard, but they are not compulsory.

Uniform

Our uniform is compulsory with a classical bun for Ballet and a neat ponytail for all other classes. We expect our pupils to be beautifully presented.

We offer a full range of uniform which can be purchased from our online dance store here

There’s no need to buy uniform for your free trial – simply wear something comfortable to dance in.

Once enrolled, we will confirm the correct uniform for your child’s grade before you order. Our LBSD Modern uniform can be purchased online.

Hair should be neat and securely away from the face. Long hair should be worn in a neat ponytail for every Modern class.
