JL Dance Academy
Foundations is a relaxed, no-exam dance class for students in Years 7 to 10, including older beginners and students starting dance later. Each 45-minute session combines a mix of styles, routines and performance work without graded training, helping dancers build confidence and enjoy being in the studio.
Foundations runs for 45 minutes and moves through a mix of styles, routines and performance work each week. It is a relaxed, friendly session for students who want to dance, learn routines and be part of a group, without needing previous experience or the structure of exam-focused training.
Foundations works well as a long-term home for students who enjoy dance without wanting exams, or as a flexible option alongside school, hobbies and other commitments. Students who want to move towards graded training are welcome to talk to us about individual genre classes such as Modern Jazz, Contemporary or Commercial Street Dance.
