ABOUT THIS CLASS
Technique Lab is a specialist training class designed to help dancers refine the technical skills that underpin every style of dance. Through focused exercises, students develop strength, flexibility, balance, turns, leaps, control and overall performance quality, giving them the confidence and ability to progress more quickly within their regular classes.
Whether students are looking to improve their technique, prepare for assessments or simply gain extra training each week, Technique Lab provides targeted coaching in a supportive environment where every dancer is encouraged to work towards their own personal goals.
This class is highly recommended for students in Limitless Minis, helping them build the strength, precision and confidence needed to perform at their very best.
