Our Sapphire dancers take one 45 minute ballet lesson each week to continue their foundational technique, along with their choice of tap, jazz, and lyrical.
DurationOur Sapphire Gemstone is the second tier in our Gemstone curriculum and holds students in years 3 to 6 at primary school. Our Sapphire dancers take one 45 minute ballet lesson each week to continue their foundational technique, along with their choice of tap, jazz, and lyrical. Many of our Sapphire dancers take 3 styles of dance with us and we help make this easy on families by scheduling back to back classes where possible into our timetable.
Our unique curriculum continues to guide students through learning age appropriate technique in their styles, and Sapphire dancers work towards their gemstone assessments, a mid year showcase and our end of year production
In addition to our R.A.D. Ballet Extension class, Sapphire dancers can also be invited to our competitive extension stream, which encompasses soloist competitors and our troupe teams. At the end of primary school, Sapphire dancers are invited into our Emerald stream.
The story of Elite Dance began in 1994, when we started from scratch as Lamott School of Dance. Our love of dance education has seen us grow into a thriving and respected dance school in our community. In 2006, Lorraine Blackburn, one of the founding teachers of the studio took the reins exclusively and we were renamed to Elite Dance, reflective of the type of instruction we offer.
At Elite Dance, we endeavour to give our students the encouragement and support needed to reach their dance goals. No student is left out during performances and all our young dancers are given the opportunity to show their progress to family and friends.
Dance is a wonderful pastime to be enjoyed by all ages. It teaches a range of disciplines that can be used throughout a student’s lifetime. Our dedicated and qualified teachers and caring attitude allows our students to flourish and develop into confident and disciplined dancers.
Students are given the very best in dance education, we employ a policy of limited class sizes to ensure our students receive valuable and enriching classes and receive maximum benefit from our teachers’ expertise. We aim to keep our lessons as convenient as possible for parents and our dance timetables are scheduled to run alongside the public school terms.
No classes finish later than 8:30pm and all classes are taught by responsible adults. We know how important your children are and Elite Dance prides itself on always using age appropriate music, costumes and choreography.
Classes include rhythm and sound technique as students learn how to create musical sequences with their tap steps.
Tap dancing takes its name from the small metal plates on the dancer's shoes which make a "tapping" sound when they strike a hard floor. Lively and rhythmic tapping makes the performer not just a dancer, but also a percussive musician, as Tap dancers make frequent use of syncopation.
Great for boys and girls who like the exciting rhythms of tap music, both classic and modern. Also essential training for those interested in a musical career. Tap is great for everyone!
The dancer’s foot and shoe essentially act as a drum, and each part of the shoe makes a particular beat and sound. We train our dancers to be versatile and highly recommend tap classes.
We believe it is important for every student to take part in Tap classes if they do not learn a musical instrument. It emphasises the development and strengthening importance of rhythm and sound.
