Youth Classes at Waterfront Dance
Classical Ballet and Commercial Jazz are at the heart of what we teach. We believe that these two complimenting styles provide the fundamental foundations for all of the dance disciplines and as such form the core of our training strategy.
Our ballet programme is up to date with the latest training techniques.
Jazz training is non syllabus , allowing us to draw from many sources, keeping class fresh and up to date.
