Tap dancing is a lively and rhythmic form of dance where performers wear special shoes with metal plates on the heels and toes. As they move, they strike the floor to create percussive sounds, turning their feet into musical instruments. Tap dance blends movement and music, emphasizing timing, rhythm, and coordination.

While tap is a fantastic dance genre on its own—full of energy, creativity, and musicality—it’s also a great complement to other styles. We highly recommend students consider learning tap alongside ballet and jazz. Together, these styles build a strong, versatile foundation in dance, enhancing overall technique, performance skills, and rhythm.

Serena’s classes are designed to prepare students for RSL(Rock School London) Stage School musical theatre exams, which combine singing, acting, and dance in a group setting. With a warm and encouraging teaching style, Serena is passionate about helping every student grow as a confident, expressive performer.

Our RSL Musical Theatre Song & Dance Exam Classes are a fun, supportive way for students to build performance skills while working towards a recognised qualification. We’ll be focusing on musical theatre repertoire with a strong emphasis on storytelling, characterisation, and ensemble work. Students can also gain UCAS points from Grade 6 upwards, which is a brilliant bonus for students when we reach those grades. It is not compulsory for students to take exams, they’ll still be working to the expected standard, giving them a great head start as they progress through the grades.

Ballet is beautiful, graceful and technical. At PAD NI we follow The Royal Academy Of Dance syllabus which gives a student the opportunity to take part in an examination if they wish. Although not essential we recommend every beginner dancer to start off with or take ballet as well as another discipline. Ballet forms the essential foundations for a strong dynamic dancer. Many of our students love taking this class as it gives them the opportunity to learn new movements and also to follow a set structured class.

Our 45 minute body conditioning class for ages 8-13 years focus's on flexibility and strength. This class is designed to give students a solid foundation in functional strength and conditioning which is fabulous for pursuing dance but also builds the core concepts of movement required in any sport and provides the building blocks for for a healthy body in the future. The class is focused on working the students muscles and body, but we know the value this can also have on their mental wellbeing - a healthy body and healthy mind work hand in hand together and it is never too early to learn habits that will help with both. That said the class uses a fun and engaging syllabus that mean all the student needs to do is worry about having fun on getting their perfect split and fabulous back bends (We'll take care of everything else). 

We definitely recommend all young students who want to progress in dance to take this class, but we adjust this course to each student who takes part and believe it would be of benefit to any child.
