Elite Beats Performance Class

 

          

Students attending the Elite Beats Performance Squad training sessions will be given tuition in Freestyle Modern Dance, Lyrical, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Street Dance and Disco. The training sessions will be performance based, students will work on producing routines in varied dance styles which will be entered for competitions, shows, charity events and performances.

The training is great fun and very good for improving core strength, stamina, flexibility,

co - ordination, musicality, rhythm and it will help to develop well tuned, toned and supple dancers. The Elite Beats training will be extremely beneficial for those pupils wishing to pursue  a career in dance.
