OTHER DANCE GENRES

Musical Theatre — Port Stephens — Robyn Yvette Dance Centre

MUSICAL THEATRE

Classes introduce a variety of dance styles from well-known musicals incorporating the opportunity to act, mime, and sing. Students are usually selected for these specialized groups as they are generally for Eisteddfod and performance students, and they must have a classical ballet base.

Acro — Port Stephens — Robyn Yvette Dance Centre

ACRO

Classes focus purely on acrobatic movements, learning to flip, cartwheel, and achieve moves correctly and safely. Acro movements can be incorporated into dance routines.

RYDC Kidz — Port Stephens — Robyn Yvette Dance Centre

RYDC KIDZ

The R.Y.D.C. Kidz programme is especially for the five-year-old Kindergarten age group where a little more structure is introduced to the dance room. Children learn to fine-tune their movements and strengthen coordination while still having fun, and it is the ideal stepping stone before commencing Ballet and Tap exams from the age of six.


The classes available for this age group are the R.Y.D.C. Kidz Kindy Jazz and Kindy Tap, as well as the Pre Primary Ballet for five-year-olds, which is an excellent preparatory program for the R.A.D. Primary Grade exam. Learning to dance with a partner and work with basic beginner steps is a perfect class for this age group.

TWINKLE TOTS & TWINKLE TOES DANCE PROGRAM

The Robyn Yvette Dance Centre has created an exceptional programme for pre-schoolers ranging from two and a half years to 3 years ("Twinkle Tots") to the three and a half to four-year-olds ("Twinkle Toes")


These classes are a must for the eager little ballerinas and dancers who want to move and have fun. Beautiful stories are interwoven into the fun movements and basic steps to stimulate and help coordination skills for little ones with energy to burn. As well as movements, musical instruments and hand props such as wands and scarves are introduced to make the whole dance experience lots of fun. A beautiful starting point for your little dance, mover, and groover.
