Classes & Styles
ERO Dance Company offers a vast variety of dance styles. From soft and gentle to upbeat and funky, ERO has got you covered!
Tiny Dancers
Tiny Dancers is a beautiful introduction to Ballet. Children aged from 18 months – 5 years engage with classical movement and imagination, learning about all of the ballet technique basics . Children come dressed in whatever makes them feel special… Tutus, Fairies, Princesses and Princes are most welcome!
Classical Ballet
Classical R.A.D Ballet is the epitome of elegance and grace. Students learn ballet terminology and the meaning behind each term. Emphasis is put on precise body form and execution of movement in accordance with each Classical Ballet term. Developing flexibility and strength of the legs, feet and core is a strong focus in this genre of dance. ERO Dance Company follows the Royal Academy of Dance Syllabus from Pre-Primary and beyond, and strongly believes that it is the ‘backbone' to a dancers technique and alignment.
Lyrical & Contemporary
This style of dance has grown to become one of the most popular styles of dance worldwide. Controlled legwork, torso work, contract-release, floor work, fall and recovery, improvisation, and story telling are all key elements of this dance genre. Rhythm, speed, expression and direction are also focal points. Lyrical/contemporary allows dancers to feel the music and dance from their hearts.
Jazz
Funky, powerful and forever evolving, Jazz is upbeat and trendy. Jazz is influenced by pop music and seen in concerts and video clips for many famous Artists. Fitness levels are improved and flexibility enhanced as dancers perform rhythmic, funky movement to the latest hits.
Tap
Very special shoes are worn for this genre of dance. The shoes are equipped with metal taps to make a tapping sound as the foot makes contact with a hard floor or surface. Rhythmic patterns and beats are composed as dancers tap their feet like drums.
Hip-Hop
Hip Hop is a street style dance focused on ‘getting low’ and expressing soulful movement in a free and funky way. It has its very own style altogether! Artists such as Beyoncé, Drake, Eminem and Rhianna use this genre of dance… just to name a few.
Musical Theatre
Song and dance is a strong focus in this style of dance. Dancers undertake voice coaching and dance technique that involves characterisation and stagecraft. Confidence is built as children learn in a fun and uplifting dance environment.
Acro
Acro has a strong focus on precision acrobatic elements, for example: handstands, flips and forward rolls to aerials, back handsprings, summersaults and much more! It is defined by its athletic character and unique choreography. Acro seamlessly blends dance and acrobatics within a dance context.
Dance Technique
This dance class focuses on building the technique required in executing movement within dancing. Stretching, strengthening and conditioning exercises are conducted within this class to assist children in improving their overall dancing abilities.
Kicks, Turns & Jumps
This technique based class purely focuses on these particular dance movements: kicks, turns and jumps. We work to perfect the specific technique required to execute these moves to a high standard. Progressions are incorporated to ensure new levels are obtained, for example: perfecting a single pirouette then advancing to fouettés etc. This class works in synergy with other dance styles and genres to allow choreography to be performed to a high standard.
