Classical Ballet
Ballet is one of the world’s most beautiful and revered art forms. Children will love building on a foundation of basic movements set to beautiful music as they grow in their strength and ability. Dancers who take ballet classes build self-control, body awareness and self discipline as they learn to master increasingly technical moves. At PMPA, we offer Open Ballet classes and classes that follow the Australian Teachers of Dance (ATOD) curriculum, with the ability to participate in examinations and scholarship days.
Jazz
This popular and dynamic style is set to popular music and Top 40 tracks in a range of age groups. Jazz is enjoyable for any dancer who just wants to get moving! Students have the opportunity to work towards group performances or competitions, or can come along to classes for their own enjoyment. To join a competitive class that performs at eisteddfods choose a Performance Jazz class, for a fun class that doesn’t compete but still performs on stage, choose a Recreational Jazz class.
Contemporary
Contemporary Dance bridges the gap between jazz and ballet, offering a fluid movement style, encouraging creative thinking and composition. This form of dance gives dancers the strength and control to move seamlessly in and out of the floor. The composition element encourages students to express themselves through movement. While it is less ‘rigid’ than ballet, contemporary still requires students to build a strong technical foundation. Our contemporary classes also fuse elements from the lyrical dance style, made popular by “So You Think You Can Dance”

It delivers a mix of jazz, tap, contemporary dance, singing and acting skills. Students combine their love of song with dance in these energetic classes that focus on fun!

Performance Teams
We understand that kids do want to try other things and don’t want to spend their lives at the studio. This is why our Performance Programs take place on just 2 days each week, have weekends free for birthday parties, family time and rest and where possible we work hard to structure their class times, to make sure they are home in time for family dinners, spelling words, home reading and cuddles.
