STRETCH/FLEXIBILITY/EXTENSION (10yrs+)

This class is a nice alternative for Students to further work towards ‘flexibility’ and ‘strength’ outside of Jazz and further their ‘WOW’ factor in technique and power moves which today’s dance industry demands!

AERIAL SILKS

AERIAL DANCE is the broad term for a style of modern dance that incorporates the use of hanging equipment.

‘Aerial Silks’ are an incredibly demanding art form that requires a high degree of strength, power, flexibility, courage and grace to master. Aerial Dance shares a fundamental movement vocabulary with circus arts where high-flying acrobatic feats were used to amaze audiences. Cirque du Soleil popularized the concept of aerial arts as a dance form and theatrical expression rather than a purely gymnastic movement art.

EXAMINATIONS (Please discuss this area when enrolling)

Examinations give the Students a definite goal to reach and a sense of Pride and Achievement.  We offer Examinations in the areas of Modern Jazz, Tapping, Classical, Theatrical, Contemporary Studies and the new Performing Arts Syllabus. Exam Classes are taken separately (some exceptions) from standard Classes to provide extra personal attention in this area. 

COMPETITIONS

COMPETITION work is available in 2 categories; TROUPES and SOLOS/DUOS/TRIOS.  TPC competes in a variety of competitions throughout the year and was awarded State Champion Studion for the 2017 Dance Quest Competitions.

Although our intention is to promote Performance experience and fun, a high level of dedication should be a priority at all times…

Opportunities to compete both locally and nationally, possibly internationally will be broadcast throughout the year.

ELITE TROUPE ENROLMENT:

Please understand that TROUPE is of a ‘Competitive Level’ – Students who wish to perform in a Modern Troupe for example are expected to attend; a Jazz Class, Classical Class, Lyrical Class and Jazz Exam to ‘deem’ a strong Competitive Level – although TROUPE is encouraged to be FUN and a TEAM EFFORT, this is COMPETITION STATUS just like competitive Sports such as Soccer, Football, Netball, Basketball where you are graded and selected. It is at my discretion to decide whether I enter 3 x 12 & Under Modern Troupes of 20 Competitors each or 1 with 60 students. I would strongly recommend you discuss your Childs enrolment with reference to TROUPE selection. TROUPE work will commence immediately.

ALL TROUPE participants are expected to extend their commitment right through to our End of Year Production.

PLEASE NOTE:-

If you wish for your child to COMPETE in a Solo/Duo/Trio Level in 2018, it will be COMPULSORY to enrol in a Classical or Lyrical Class from the age of 9yrs either in an Examination Format or Open/General Class.

Obviously, this does not apply to the Genres of Tapping, Acrobatics and Singing Entries.

Technique, Flexibility and Strength are obvious contributing factors to success at Competitions in addition to a confident presence on stage with expression and entertainment value!

ANNUAL PRODUCTION

Our annual Production at Perth’s leading Theatre, CROWN THEATRE ‘Showcases’ the Annual Achievements and Talent of TPC, beginning with our Talented Tinies to Professional performers. Obviously, participation is not compulsory however, we like to encourage all associated with TPC to perform where possible and celebrate our achievements for the year.
