Encore! Extra Classes 2011/12

for DANCE, VOICE, DRAMA EXAM and PRE-SCHOOL

Ballet:

Our Ballet classes develop poise, grace, and confidence. Students from 3 to 14 years can enjoy our fun classes, without the stress of major exams. We hold our own Ballet Exams in December each year, so students cover all material for each Ballet Grade, but we also focus on a Ballet Show in April each year. We have produced Alice in Wonderland, and Cinderella in the past two years. All students take part in this fully costumed, specially choreographed performance and it is a joy to see all these budding Ballerinas dance across the stage. Beginners of all ages are very welcome as Jenny will ensure that every child enjoys the magic of Ballet!

HipHop: Tots

You may not know that we have a thriving HipHop dance section at Encore! Classes in Knocklyon and now also in WestWood are enjoying action packed sessions of hi-energy routines and steps. It’s a really great fitness class too, as the routines are so up-tempo, and a great way to push your dancing skills to the next level! Options include a half hour class, or an hour long class in WestWood on Tuesdays. All classes perform at our end-of-year shows!!

Tots Classes: Drama Exams

Our Tots classes are a wonderful way to introduce your child to Music and Drama.

Our programme is suited to pre-school children from 3 years old. They learn a repertoire of songs, action songs and rhymes in their weekly classes. They take part in drama and singing games and have a enormous amount of fun. The Tots classes are taught by a very experienced Montessori and Drama Teacher who knows how to get the most out of every child: from the very shy to those that were born for the stage! The Tots perform in an end of year show in St. Colmcille’s School.
This class is a must for all budding performers.

Voice Lessons: Hip Hop

Our Voice classes are so popular because they are a fun and very cost-effective way to get the most from the voice. Everyone can improve their singing voice, no matter where they start from! Each class has a maximum of 6 students, so our teachers can really work with each child to develop their range, breathing, technique and repertoire.
Every Voice student has the opportunity to take an IBSD Singing exam, and sing solo at our Recitals at The Mill Theatre Studio every year. Many Voice students are now taking their Grade 8 Leinster Exams, and Associate Diploma IBSD exams in Musical Theatre, so it’s a great way to get the most from your voice…as well as being a lot of fun!!

Drama Exams: Singing

Our Drama exam classes work in small groups to prepare students fully for the higher grade Drama exams. The classes are focussed and yet give students the chance to really let their creativity out! Students can choose monologues and mimes, prose excerpts and poems that show off their individual skills, and our teachers will polish their performances each week at class. These are either 10 or 13 week courses which run up to our Exam date in Term 2.
Taking a Speech and Drama Exam every year is a great way to map your progress throughout your years with Encore!. At present we have had a number of students already complete their Certificate in Speech and Drama and this year we have a number of candidates sitting their Diploma.
If you are very keen on drama this class is a wonderful way to focus on your skills and progress each year.
