Our Classes
We offer classes in a variety of genres specifically designed to create the versatile dancer.
BALLET
Ballet is an integral part of a dancers growth. It is the core of all dance and implements correct technique while building strong, lean and agile dancers. Students also acquire grace, perseverance and pride as they progress through their Ballet grades.

Tap is one of the oldest and more difficult styles of dance. Available for all ages, Tap improves dancers timing, musicality and rhythm.
Steps and routines are taught progressively throughout the year, allowing students to improve in time. Students will build core stability while controlling their percussive footwork.

Influenced by pop culture Hip Hop is a fun, relaxed urban style of dance that is continuously evolving and a big favourites among students.
Hip Hop does not require classical training, but is more focused on personal style, energy, connection to the music and articulation.

HIP HOP
CONTEMPORARY
One of the most popular dance styles of today, Contemporary is a fusion of Ballet technique with raw, flowing, modern movement. Contemporary and lyrical dance is less structured and more about feeling and expression often portraying a story or concept through the movement.
At Cape Performing Arts, students will learn the basic foundations of contemporary and lyrical dance while improving on their strength and technique.
We highly recommend our contemporary students also attend ballet as the two work hand in hand and students will accelerate their progress.
