Private Lessons
All the teachers at New Thing Academy are available for one to one private lessons. Alternatively, a private lesson can be shared with other students should you be training for a duet or trio, for example (maximum of 4 per lesson).
Classes
New Thing Dance offers a wide variety of classes from ages 1.5 to adult.
Our Staff and professional dance instructors at New Thing Academy in Bexhill-On-Sea, East Sussex, concentrate their efforts to deliver professional and personalised attention to each of our students and ensure their correct training while inspiring their creativity, musicality and dramatic expression. It is our objective at New Thing Academy to provide a nurturing learning environment where students can discover the joy and beauty in the art of classical ballet, modern, tap, jazz and stretch classes while developing their senses and motor skills in an age-appropriate format.
Classical Ballet: Baby, Junior, Intermediate & Advanced
Through the use of barre, centre floor and traveling exercises and combinations, students learn traditional ballet technique beginning at age 1.5 (Strong emphasis is placed on technique.)
Pointe: Intermediate & Advanced
These classes require a rigorous and technical ballet background; students must be developmentally ready and recommended for pointe classes.
Tap: Baby, Primary, Intermediate & Advanced
Rhythmic combinations, time steps and other basics to form the art of tap dancing.
Modern (also called Jazz Dance): Junior & Advanced (Includes Stretch Class)
Classical jazz technique incorporating stretching, isolation and combination exercises designed to develop the necessary flexibility, strength and versatility for this stylised movement. Though very different from classical ballet the technical training is similar. It is a barefoot technique; emphasis is placed on the development of strength and balance.
