Modern Jazz Pre is an introductory class designed to prepare students for the CSTD Modern Jazz syllabus. Focusing on the basics of technique, rhythm, and body control, this class introduces students to the foundational movements and choreography they will build on in future graded levels. It’s the perfect way to start developing strength, flexibility, and confidence in a fun and supportive environment, setting the stage for upcoming syllabus exams.
Welcome to S.H.A.K.E Dance School, where we’ve been putting the dance in your pants for 26 fun-filled years! Our inner-city dance studio, led by the enthusiastic Nikki McIntyre, caters to everyone, offering a vibrant mix of classes for all ages and skill levels.
Our Classes:
✨ Tinies (3-5 years): In our Tinies class, little dancers explore a blend of jazz, classical, and modern styles. With a focus on gross motor skills, coordination, and creativity, they learn fun basics like skips and gallops through engaging activities.
✨ Acrobatics (5 years+): Our acrobatics classes teach strength and flexibility while mastering skills such as tumbling, handstands, and trampolining.
✨ Classical Ballet (5 years+): Following the rigorous COMDANCE syllabus, our ballet classes emphasize strict technique and graceful movements, with regular exams to track progress.
✨ Contemporary (10 years+): This class explores movement without boundaries, building on foundational ballet techniques. Students also sit exams through the Jason Winter’s Comdance syllabus.
✨ Jazz Open & Commercial (3 years to 60+): We offer jazz classes that include various styles, focusing on technique and fun choreography. We’ve proudly hosted an adult class for over 25 years!
✨ Hip Hop (5 years+): Our hip hop classes, suitable for boys and girls, provide a fun introduction to street dance styles with beginner and intermediate levels available.
✨ Modern Jazz (5 years+): Following a set COMDANCE syllabus, students progress through grades and can achieve Certificates and Diplomas after completing Grade 9.
✨ Musical Theatre (5 years+): Students combine singing, dancing, and acting, preparing for COMDANCE exams while developing their triple-threat skills.
✨ Tap (5 years+): Tap classes focus on using tap shoes to create rhythmic sounds, following the COMDANCE syllabus while allowing flexibility in exam participation.
At S.H.A.K.E, we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming and positive atmosphere where students thrive. Our dancers regularly perform at community events and partake in eisteddfods and major concerts. Many of our talented students have continued their education with prestigious institutions like the Queensland Ballet and QUT Fine Arts.
