What is Street / Commercial Dance?Street Dance and Commercial Dance are basically one and the same. A form of dance that originates from the the streets of New York, outside of the Dance Studios. As time has passed, so many forms of Street Dance have emerged and they continue to do so, given that these styles are so often seen in Commercial Music Videos and in commercial media, the umbrella term "Commercial Dace" is now commonly used to describe it.

What is "Acro"?"Coached by our own acrobatics teacher, this class is perfect to get kids flexible and flying, students are grouped by age and ability so it's ideal for all ages 3 - 8 & 8+.

What do they need to wear?Probably our most frequantly asked question of all! Here's a little list of "do's & dont's" when it comes to appropriate dance wear. All students will be required to wear our AJ Dance uniform once they have attended for at least 1 month. Our uniform is stylish, relaxed and comfortable. Just check out the shop here on our website to buy anything you need! For a students 1st month then we suggest: Leggings, Jogging bottoms or Tracksuit bottoms are all ideal options to wear. Pair these with either a T-shirt, Hoodie, Vest Top or similar and either Trainers or Pumps on thier feet and you're all set! Jeans, Dresses, Skirts or Shorts aren't suitable for our classes. Dancers need to be able to move freely and comfortably without restrictive clothing. Likewise, boots, sandles, or "school shoe" types aren't appropriate to wear. Hair should be tidy and out of their face, a bun in not required though for our classes. If you're still unsure, just ask!

Can boys join?YES! Boys are always welcome in our classes, in fact we have boys in all of our age groups from Mini's right up to Seniors! With the rise in popularity of Street Dance, more and more boys want to learn, plus given our Principal is male, it sets us apart from the majority of other dance schools where some boys may feel out of place with a female teacher and a class with only girls.

Do you have space for my child?We have a limited capacity for all of our class, so pre-registration in essential. You may be able to join us straight away, however there may be a short wait for a space to open up. We'll always let you know your start date so don't worry. We operate an ongoing enrollment, so new students can join us at any time, not just at the start of a term. There are times however when we may delay a new student joining a particular class if the current students are at the end of working on an existing routine. We wouldn't want a new student to join and just sit and watch without being able to join in, so it's always advisable to contact us and reserve a space, that way we can advise of the next available date to attend.
