Senior ITW Dance is a pre-professional class that develops each student’s confidence in their dance abilities working on their dance technique and performance!
Every class starts with a warm-up which includes stretches, isolations, cardio, and co-ordination exercises followed by across the floor combinations and an end of class fun routine in any style. Routines range from Musical Theatre to Jazz techniques and even dabble in Modern Dance, African Dance, and more.
Senior Dance participates in Technique of the Week: a weekly effort to practice a new dance technique including stretch week, arms week, kick week, jump week, turn week and more!
There is the opportunity every second year to take exams with the Irish Board of Dance Performance if they wish.
