What do we offer?
RAD Syllabus - Ballet
The RAD offers one of the most well rounded, thorough, and inclusive approaches to classical ballet training. We start from Pre-Primary (ages 3-6) and offer classes all the way up to vocational training. The grades offer a wide variety of options to suit all student’s needs. The vocational pathway is for students who are serious about a potential career in this field, or who excel in their classical training. It begins the preparation of pointe work and increases in difficulty up to Advanced 2 and Solo Seal.
Contemporary Dance
Contemporary dance is a modern take on classical dance training. Inspired by choreographers such as Martha Graham and Merce Cunningham, it allows dancers to express and move their bodies in new ways. Contemporary dance comes in many forms, we explore all techniques alongside release work.
Both our Junior and Senior contemporary groups have the opportunity to perform in local events as well as our annual show. They are also given the opportunity to compete in national competitions.
Street Dance
All new street dance with our very own Sophie Darling! Sophie is a previous SODA student herself and since leaving the school, has decided to come back and help inspire the next generation of dancers! Street dance is a fun filled class offered to both seniors and juniors. Sign up today!
Strength and Conditioning for Dancer's
All dancer's require extra strength training alongside their normal classes. This directly links into their class work, looking at engaging new muscles and learning how to engage these to enhance their training. We use PBT techniques, using yoga balls and stretch bands, as well as pilates inspired stretches and circuits.
