Street Jazz is a high energy and stylised class, with a mixture of both popular urban style of dance that has inspired music videos by artists such as Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga and Rhianna, and Jazz Technique inspired by the West-end musicals.

Tap Dance is a demanding technique, teaching students to become percussive musicians as they learn complicated rhythms using their feet.
