HIP HOP
(Jazz/ Hip Hop, Hip Hop, Introductory
& BOYS ONLY)
This is an exciting and very popular style of street dance as seen in video clips of stars such as Missy Elliot, Chiara, Timbaland, Lady Sovereign, MIA and Usher. Films like ‘Honey’ and ‘You got Served’ also feature this style of dance, which originated in the Bronx, New York. Ideal for both boys and girls, Hip Hop involves aspects of breakdancing and produces strong, fit dancers with attitude! Places usually fill quickly so make sure you enrol early!
NRG SHOWTEAM
Members of the NRG Showteam have the opportunity to dance at various events including festivals, fetes, eisteddfods, concerts, and other fun community events. It is a great experience for those who are dedicated to dance performance, and love to put on a show! Choreography is a crowd pleasing mix of Jazz, Funk and Hip Hop. You won't find this style of dance anywhere else!
Showteam members are encouraged to have a healthy, positive attitude to performing.
In 2006 the NRG Senior Showteam placed highly at every eisteddfod they entered and performed at the IMB Hawks basketball, Wollongong ampitheatre, and more!
Please contact us to find out if you are eligible to be part of this class. Showteam is by selection only but we welcome all enquiries so please let us know if you are interested.
STRETCH/ ACROBATICS
This class is designed specially for those wishing to increase their flexibility and technique and learn fun and exciting tumbling and acrobatic skills! These classes are compulsory for showteam members but we want to encourage as many budding dancers and cheerleaders to attend as possible! Flexibility and fitness are essential in all forms of dance. A must for the NRG dancers and cheerleaders who are serious about performing! Progress through basic skills like handstands and cartwheels, to walkovers, and then to handsprings, arial cartwheels, tucks and more!
JAZZ
Ever watched Video Hits or Rage and wanted to dance like the people in the clips? Well Jazz/ Funk @ NRG is for you! Correct Jazz technique is emphasised in class but routines are choreographed using funky moves such as those seen in Janet Jackson and Britney Spears video clips. Jazz at NRG is modern and up to date. Definately not daggy!
CHEERLEADING
(THE ENERGIZE CHEERLEADERS)
COMPETITIVE OR RECREATIONAL SQUADS
One of our most popular classes! Cheerleading is one of the newest forms of dance to be imported from the USA. It combines gymnastics, acrobatics and sharp dance moves to produce a high energy, crowd pleasing performance.
Not just for girls! All teams need stunt men to base the more complex stunts!
BALLET
At NRG we make Ballet funky and fun for everyone- not just prima ballerinas! Ballet is the basis of all dance technique and is an essential skill, but that doesn't mean it needs to be boring!
At NRG we use modern music to encourage students to love ballet and build skill through better technique.
"Born 2 Boogie" PRE-SCHOOL
DANCE & ACRO
A new type of pre-school dance class with a difference! At NRG we aim to exercise the childrens' minds as well as their bodies. This is a great introduction to dance for the littlies! Pre-school dance at NRG combines moves from jazz and ballet and allows the children to develop their imaginations through role play, dress-ups and dancing games.
We also teach them fun and basic acrobatic tricks that they will love to practice! They will be looking forward to it every week!
TAP
NRG have adopted a unique style and funky beats that students just love. At NRG we really seek to excite students about Tap by combining strong Tap technique with modern music!
