Ballet, Tap & Modern Jazz
Ballet, Tap & Modern Jazz
At Lynden, located in the heart of Basingstoke, we are committed to providing a comprehensive dance education that stands out for its depth and quality. Our program is meticulously designed to encompass the three pivotal disciplines of dance: Classical Ballet, Modern Jazz, and Tap. This tripartite structure is the cornerstone of our philosophy, ensuring that each dancer develops a versatile skill set characterized by elegance, strength, and a profound understanding of dance as an art form.
Our innovative combined class structure is specifically tailored to allow students the opportunity to immerse themselves in all three dance forms within a single day. This approach not only offers unmatched convenience for busy parents but also enriches the learning experience for our students. By navigating through Ballet, Modern Jazz, and Tap in one session, dancers gain a holistic perspective of dance, enabling them to appreciate the nuances and complexities of each style. This comprehensive exposure lays a solid foundation for mastering advanced techniques and preparing for captivating performances.
Our Commitment To Excellence,
Lynden’s graded classes are structured around a balanced mix of performance work, flexibility exercises, and strength training, all while closely adhering to the esteemed syllabus of the British Theatre Dance Association (BTDA).
Our curriculum is designed with a focus on progressing through BTDA examinations, which, although highly recommended, are not a mandatory requirement for advancing to higher levels. This flexibility allows our dancers to progress at their own pace, fostering a nurturing environment that is supportive of each individual’s journey.
The Pathway
For those beginning their dance journey, or for parents seeking guidance on the best starting point for their child, Lynden offers a clear pathway.
