Programme Overview

Excite Academy offers classes, workshops and school holiday programmes in Art, Drama, Dance, Musical Theatre, and Music. Our Dance styles include Acro, Dance Cirque, Intro to Dance, Extension and Specialised dance styles in Flow, Upbeat and Enerjazz as described below.

We offer performance opportunities during the year. We have designed our curriculum to allow dancers to learn through experiencing multiple styles in one dance class.

At Excite Academy we want our students to learn to dance their own style. Our style units provide strong foundational knowledge of a wide range of dance styles, as well as allowing each class to be uniquely designed to match our student’s interests.

All of our dance classes are centred around safe, correct techniques, in order to let our dancers find and grow their own style in a safe, positive environment. Preschool dance is 30 mins, Intro to Dance is 45 mins.

Classes are $16 per hour lesson, 10 lessons to the term.

• Pre-dance (3-4 years) is our preschool dance class that prepares our students to become happy, confident dancers. These classes are taught through multiple stylised units, each unit corresponding to a dance style where basic mobility and movement patterns are taught and then built into small dances.
• Intro to Dance (5-7 years) This class builds on the knowledge taken from Pre-Dance (however Pre-Dance is not a requirement). The style units for Intro to Dance will introduce more specialised techniques specific to the dance styles learnt. This will include slightly more in-depth teaching of the style, new steps/techniques, and longer routines and exercises. These classes can be uniquely tailored to fit each set of students and still provide room for creativity and exploration.
• Extension Dance (8-10 years) This class is our intermediate level class. As per the name, this class aims to extend the range of styles from previous classes and in doing so allow the dancers to develop within the styles. Dance is an ever-changing art form and no two people will, or should, naturally dance exactly the same. In dance expansion, we want to give our students a chance to take what they’ve learned and start finding their signature style. S
• pecialised Classes: Flow Flow is our own stylised class following and combining the flow, grace and control found in Ballet, Lyrical, and Contemporary. While these classes share common foundations this class will look at movement patterns and textures that make these styles different. It will also continue the growth of technique and look at teaching choreography techniques and styles common to these dances.
• Ener-jazz This is our energetic Jazz-based class. This class will be fast-paced and high energy taking inspiration from a range of Jazz and Musical Theatre dance styles. Students will continue learning technique and the expanding of steps from these styles, as well as learning common choreography styles, steps, and groupings.
• Up-Beat Our Up-Beat class will be looking at old skool and modern commercial styles of Hip Hop, urban and funk dances. This is our funky groovy class that builds from our old skool roots in these styles and carries them into the modern commercial styles we see today.
• Dance Cirque The Dance Cirque program which has been designed for all kinds of students by industry professionals. We take pride in providing professionally trained teachers to coach both aerial and floor-based apparatus. With a straightforward and safe curriculum, Dance Cirque at Excite is the perfect place to start your circus journey!
• Acro Acro is the perfect combination of safely teaching acrobatic tricks and learning how to place them in a dance. With a tried and true Acrobatic Arts program, Acro improves strength, flexibility, and balance. Our classes include a wide variety of challenging skills, and each term will focus on either skill development or dance composition. With the chance to level up or continue training at your leisure, Acro at Excite has the right skills to improve your dancing skill base.
