Aerial - Silks, Lyra and More
Our aerial classes cater to students that are beginners-advanced. Just like acro, all students can work at their own level. This will be strictly limited capacity to ensure the integrity of the class. First in, best dressed!
Flexibility Program
This program is aimed at taking your flexibility to the next level. Highly recommended for dancers that are very tight all the way through to dancers that are quite flexible. Each will work at their own level.
Students will begin with an assessment by the highly regarded ‘Dance Doctor’ Petros Vournelis. Petros is a chiropractor that specialises in dancers and he will create a unique program for each student focusing on what they need to take their flexibility to the next level in a safe way.
Students will be guided, monitored and motivated to execute their specialised program by our teachers in a series of 30 minute slots. It is highly recommended you participate in 2-3 slots per week for best results. However, 1 per week is better than none!
We started this program to help not only our aspiring/committed dancers, but also the many students we see that are quite young however have very limited range of motion. A healthy body is an agile one and even with normal day to day life, you will have a healthier, injury and pain-free body into your adulthood and beyond if you can achieve good range of motion.
There will be a cost for the initial assessment but after that these classes are included in our class packages.
Pre Jnr Stretch, Strength and Technique
Pre Jnr is the perfect age to start to train your body to be strong and agile, whilst training your mind to focus on the technical specifics to master the kicks, turns, jumps and tricks in dance. Repetition and knowledge is key in building a strong, smart and well-rounded dancer. Encourage your dancer to take on this class and help them build their focus and work ethic that they can then apply in all facets of life! At TMS we believe hard work is habit to be learnt and we aim to instil this philosophy into our students.
