Classes
WELCOME TO SWANSEA SCHOOL OF DANCE
PRE-SCHOOL DANCE LESSONS
Introduce your child to the world of dance
Our Preschool Program offers a fun, engaging introduction to dance for 3- and 4-year-olds. Through music, movement, and playful activities like nursery rhymes and games, children develop coordination, creativity, and confidence — all while learning the fundamentals of dance. Each class builds body awareness and prepares young dancers for future music and dance training in a joyful, supportive environment.
2 Year Old Music & Movement
Caregiver and Tot
This program is an introduction to dance for our very youngest dancers and their caregivers. The students go on adventures to magical places and experience music and movement along the way.
CLASSICAL BALLET
Plié. Chassé. Jeté. All day.
Our ballet program follows the Society of Classical Ballet (Vaganova Method), offering students a strong foundation in classical technique, artistry, and performance. Set to beautiful music, dancers build strength, self-discipline, and body awareness as they progress through levels.
Dancers are welcome to challenging a ballet exam beginning in the Primary Level. Once dancers reach Level Two, they are required to be enrolled in two classes a week to be eligible for an exam. There is still the option to take ballet once a week without challenging an exam at our studio.
Whether for fun or focused development, our ballet classes support confident, graceful movement at every stage.
JAZZ
Experience the energy of jazz!
Jazz is a high-energy, feel-good style that’s perfect for dancers of all ages who love to move. At Swansea, we teach both classical and commercial jazz technique, paired with strength and flexibility training — all in a fun, supportive environment.
Led by experienced instructors, our jazz classes build confidence, coordination, and style.
TAP
Make music with your feet!
Rhythm tap, broadway tap, music theory, improvisation and history. This program has it all. Mastering the art of tap dance can help with coordination, rhythm, musicality and agility.
Modern/Contemporary
Open your soul and connect to the earth!
Modern dance requires students to build a strong technical foundation. Our program focuses on a variety of modern techniques including Limon and Graham. Using music and other art forms as inspiration, students work on movement phrases and develop their own sense of creativity. These classes are accompanied by live musicians.
HIP HOP
Pop, Lock and Break
Hip Hop is certainly addictive. This powerful, high-energy class focuses on technique, history and choreography.
Our students build physical strength and self-confidence in a fun and encouraging atmosphere.
ACRO & SILKS
Challenge your strength, and focus!
Acro combines dance with athletic skills like headstands, cartwheels, and walkovers, focusing on strength, balance, and flexibility. Students build a strong foundation before progressing to advanced tricks.
In Silks, dancers learn aerial movement on fabric, building coordination and confidence under the guidance of our expert instructors.
A second technique class is strongly recommended for Silks and Acro Dancers.
LYRICAL
For love of music and movement
Lyrical blends ballet, jazz, and acro into expressive routines that connect emotion with music. It’s perfect for dancers who love to perform with feeling.
Students must be enrolled in at least one ballet class per week to join.
BOYS
Let’s get moving!
Our boys’ dance classes offer a fun, supportive space where boys can be themselves while learning great moves. Designed to match how boys learn, the class builds a strong dance foundation and lets them burn off energy creatively and confidently. We’re excited to welcome your child to join the fun!
MUSICAL THEATRE
Act, Sing and Dance!
Our musical theatre program draws from a mix of jazz, tap, contemporary and modern dance skills. Students combine their love of song with dance in these energetic and diverse classes.
Available for children ages 7-13, these lessons have a focus on fun!
Jump, twirl and glide to some of Broadway’s most memorable tunes.
