Our Syllabus classes are compulsory; this is where we teach the exam work. We teach the SADTA Freestyle syllabus, which includes Freestyle, Slowdance, Rock ‘n Roll, Disco and most recently added, Foundation.
Freestyle is a relatively new style of dance which began in the days of John Travolta, in movies like ‘Saturday Night Fever’, as Disco. In recent years, with the influence of other dance styles, it has now become more technical and athletic.
There are different styles under the Freestyle umbrella, including Slowdance, Rock ‘n Roll and Disco. Although Freestyle has its own Syllabus, it is inspired by Ballet, Modern, Contemporary, Jazz, Hip Hop, Acrobatics and even Latin American.
Our studio is one of the leading Freestyle studios in the country for Syllabus and Competitive work. We are also very proud to say that South Africa boasts many Freestyle World Champions and our success in International competitions grows stronger each year.

The Foundation routines are in essence a bridge between exam and competition dancing, but even those dancers with no intention of ever competing will benefit from the strength, flexibility and technical training that can be obtained through the Foundation routines.
The Open Freestyle Classes are mainly aimed at competitors but are open to all dancers. Here we focus on fitness, flexibility, strength, choreography and versatility.
Having previously owned - together with Dave Campbell – Dancenter Ballroom and Latin American Studio in Johannesburg, Beverley decided to branch out into the Freestyle world.
Beverley danced with her partner, Dave Campbell, from the age of 13 and reached the Professional British, International and World Cup Finals, as well as being undefeated South African Ballroom and Latin American Champions.
Following her successful Ballroom and Latin career, it was quite a step to take on Freestyle!
After advertising in the Pretoria East Rekord newspaper, the first class started with 21 pupils ranging from 4-and-a-half to 16 years of age. In no time the classes were split into age groups and the rest is history!
In 2013 we opened a second branch in Centurion which is growing from strength to strength.
In recent years a few of our former pupils have qualified in other dance styles which prompted us to introduce Hip Hop, Contemporary, Acrobatics and Dancefit into the studio.
We are very proud of our teachers who have grown up in our studio and are now sharing their expertise and experience with the next generation. We are equally proud of the external teachers that have joined The Beverley Hammond Dance School family.
It is wonderful to have fresh and new ideas, as we constantly work to provide the best opportunities for our pupils.
Modern Dance Lessons are offered by Dance Direction International for all ages and skill levels. We strive to balance technique and performance in our learners.
