What we offer?

Modern Jazz Dance

Modern dance uses gravity to the body’s advantage, unlike Ballet

that goes against gravity in order to create a light and weightless

feeling – almost like flying. In Modern Dance the control of the

body’s centre is essential as all movement originates from one’s

centre. Control of the body allows the maintaining of balance, while

being able to execute powerful movements.

Modern Dance classes are based on a moderate amount of

stretching. Studio of Motion’s main form of stretching technique

originates from the Pilates principles of elongating the muscles and

strengthening the core.

Contemporary Dance

Contemporary dance is a genre of dance that makes use of

compositional philosophy rather than just choreography. At Studio

of Motion the Contemporary syllabus we make use of is based

mainly on the Horton technique, however principles such as;

special awareness, floor barre, Pilates, the exploration of emotion,

and improvisation are also used.

Hip Hop

Hip Hop dance includes a variety of styles like, breaking, popping,

and locking. Hip Hop is a very free style of dancing. Hip Hop is a

fairly young form of dance, but is rooted in a long history of Hip

Hop music.

Studio of Motion also makes use of Lyrical Hip Hop as well as

Urban Hip Hop that focuses not only on choreography and

performance but also on freestyles and battles.

4

Acrobatics

Acrobatics makes use of amazing features of the body, such as

balance, agility, and motor coordination. It combines dance

technique with the accuracy of acrobatic fundamentals.

It’s defined by athletic character, use of choreography and

movement, as well as the use of acrobatics in a dance context.

Modern / Ballet

At Studio of Motion we teach Modern / Ballet techniques from the

ages of 3 until 14 in all our classes (Contemporary and Modern

Jazz included) to assure that they have the correct turnout

technique.

Studio of Motion is the first dance school to introduce the Melody

Movement syllabus from the United Kingdom into South Africa.

Melody movement introduces children to dance and movement by

making use of natural actions of the body.

Melody Movement is a structured syllabus designed to aid

students in physical development, coordination, spatial awareness,

creativity, and self-expression both in-group work and in individual

work. It also helps students to develop skills such as colour and

shape recognition, counting, and language skills.

Tap

Tap dancing is characterised by the tapping sound made by the

dancers shoes. Dancers wear specially designed shoes that have

metal plates attached both to the balls and the heels of the shoe.

When these metal plates are tapped against hard surfaces they

create a percussion sound – creating the idea of the dancer being

a musician.

5

Technique & Stretch

These compulsory classes are there to broaden student’s minds of

other dance forms and to give them an overall balanced dance life

rather than having them focus on only one dance form.

Mommy & Me (Fitness for Mommy & Fun for Me)

Mommy & Me is a type of physical exercise that is used to stretch

and strengthen muscles, promote cardiovascular fitness and

health, weight loss or maintenance, and for enjoyment.
