Competitive and Exam

Competitive and Exam Dance Classes at Saskatoon

Our Competitive and Exam Dance Classes provide students with the opportunity to increase their performance experience at competitions and in exams.

Our teachers are either qualified or certified in the style of dance they are teaching. They are also expected to continue to improve the quality of their dance teaching knowledge by attending regular yearly teacher training seminars and workshops.
With the guidance of national and world-renowned dance syllabi, our classes are designed to engage your child at their particular age and developmental level so they can build their successes one step at a time. At Epic Dance Complex, we utilize the following syllabi:
Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Ballet
Canadian Dance Teachers Association (CDTA) Tap and Jazz
Associated Dance Arts for Professional Teachers (ADAPT) Tap and Jazz
Acro Dance Teachers Association (ADTA)

SYLLABUS LOGOS

Ballet

Poise – Grace – Beauty

Ballet is the foundation of many forms of dance. The technique of ballet is essential for teaching proper posture, balance, agility, coordination and discipline. We use the world renown Royal Academy of Dance syllabus to take students from beginning steps to accomplished dancers.

Tap

Rhythm – Music – Dynamic

Dance to your own beat! Tap teaches students about musicality, rhythms and how to use your steps to enhance a song. The foundation of the Canadian Dance Teachers Association syllabus teaches students historical tap steps as well as contemporary tap styles.

Jazz

Balance – Style – Agility

Bring on the sass!! Jazz is an exciting blend of leaps, turns, kicks and a whole lot of personality. Strong technique is established using the Canadian Dance Teachers Association syllabus to build students from the basics up to complex steps.

Acro

Strength – Flexibility – Skills

For students who love to flip! Training drills & stretches will teach dancers tricks from forward rolls & bridges to cartwheels & walkovers, eventually to handsprings & aerials. Acrobatique & Canadian Dance Teachers Association syllabi are the building blocks of our program.

Hip Hop

Bust some moves on the floor!

Modern and dynamic, hip hop is certainly addictive. This powerful, high-energy dance style relies on a punchy beat and a little bit of attitude! Children and adults will master individual moves before learning to build up to longer routines. The Hip Hop craze remains popular around the world and students will love these dynamic classes.
