OUR CLASSES:

At this class, you will dive into a cultural movement that promotes diversity, personal growth and creativity. The artistry of Hip Hop began during the 1960’s-1970’s and emerged in New York City. This is a high energy class and a place for fun and encouragement. Here you will learn the main Hip Hop styles which include popping, locking (collectively referred to as a Funk Style) and breaking. You will also explore the fusions and extensions that stem from the Hip Hop world such as Urban, House, Commercial, Dance Hall and AfroBeats. This class is extremely popular among all ages. Private Lessons, Competitions and Performance Opportunities available.

Contemporary Dance is an expressive Dance Style that embodies technique from Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical and Modern. You will learn both Contemporary Ballet and Contemporary Jazz in this class. We follow Ballet Technique in Dunshaughlin Dance however, it is less strict and allows for creativity and rhythmical interpretation. You will Dance to modern music that students may hear on the Radio, TikTok and various platforms which allows the student to relate, connect and thoroughly enjoy moving to. This style became very famous after its’ publicity on the TV Show, ‘Dance Moms’. Private Lessons, Graded Exams, Competitions and Performance Opportunities Available.

Also known as Acro Dance, this is a class in high-demand that teaches you how to seamlessly blend Dance Choreography and Acrobatic Skills. This is an athletic style that builds on the three Core Acrobatic skills, Handstand, Cartwheel and Bridge. You will develop these skills into many tricks such as Aerials, Splits, Backbends, Handsprings, Valdez, Chest Stands, Contortion, and much much more! We follow an internationally recognised Acrobatic programme that was developed with input from the infamous ‘Cirque du Soleil’, the largest Acrobatic Circus in the world. Our programme prioritises safety and effective progressions with proven results in five divisions: Flexibility, Strength, Balancing, Limbering and Tumbling. We will take the beginner preschool level dancer from log rolls and summersaults to the advanced dancer tumbling effortlessly across the stage! Private Lessons, Graded Exams, Competitions and Performance Opportunities Available.

This class is lively and extremely entertaining. In this class, you will learn and develop the Basic steps of Ballroom and Latin styles including the Waltz, Cha Cha Cha, Jive, Samba, and much more. This class is perfect for both first time dancers and ex-dancers that are looking to reignite their passion again. It is never too late to learn! This class is a great way to make friends and have fun. You don’t need a partner, come alone or bring some friends. Here you will gain confidence, improve coordination, improve flexibility and reduce stress. Wedding Lessons and Performance Opportunities Available.

Our Jazz classes are sure to unlock your inner Stage Performer! Jazz epitomises entertainment through it’s upbeat music, rhythm and character. This is a dramatic style of Dance that has wowed audiences in Broadway Musicals for many years. Jazz emerged at the turn of the 20th Century when African American Dancers began blending traditional African steps with European styles of movement. Jazz dance was born through religious and social gatherings and is still a very social and performative style today. You will learn the foundations of Jazz and develop the sharp technique through amalgamations, across the floor exercises and fun dance combinations! If you are called to glittering costumes and strutting across the stage, then this style is the style for you! Private Lessons, Performance and Competition opportunities available.
