Classes for Grade 2-3 Students

Contemporary Dance and Movement Lab

In our Contemporary Dance and Movement Lab classes, students learn to move efficiently and safely, improve their co-ordination and body awareness and experience the joy of dancing alongside friends!

Contemporary class is followed by a 'Movement Lab' where the students are invited to unleash their creativity and become dance makers and improvisers. During Movement Lab, students will be given creative tasks and improvisation scores which will be used to generate original movement. Students collaborate with teachers/choreographers to create dance works to be presented at Nook Dance Centre performances during the year.

Movement Lab is all about:
🔸 Helping our students to find their own unique approach to movement and individual movement style.
🔸 Inviting our students to connect with their peers (face to face rather than screen to screen!) as they work together to create movement.
🔸 Empowering our students by showing them the value of their own creative contributions to Nook projects.
🔸 Providing a safe space for our students to truly be themselves.
🔸 No. Wrong. Answers. 

Grade 2-3 Ballet

Our Grade 2-3 Ballet classes provide a welcoming, friendly environment for our dancers to continue to extend their Ballet technique, skills and artistry. In this level we introduce barre work for the first time as well as centre practice. The focus is on safe skill development as well as exploring self-expression and discovering the joy of movement.

Our Ballet classes are fun and engaging. We work to meet the learning needs and interests of the children in the class. We are always looking for new ways to engage and inspire our young Ballet dancers each week and employ a range of creative approaches to teaching Ballet including use of props, visuals and imagery.

The Grade 2-3 dancers work towards an in-house mid-year showing and an End-of-Year Show at a local theatre.
