Ballet:
Ballet is a beautiful art form that utilizes music, technique, and grace to create stories for an audience to enjoy. It is a type of dance that takes great effort, dedication, and precision. Ballet is the basic foundation for most forms of dance. It can help develop strength, endurance, flexibility, coordination, and balance. Our classes are brilliantly structured and precisely taught step by step, so young ballerinas learn tricky ballet elements properly and healthily. Our ballet students learn to listen to instructions, follow rules, and work hard to achieve their goals.
Tap dance:
Have you ever seen a tap dancer perform and thought: “They are having the time of their life!” – well, that’s because they are! When you tap dance, you create rhythms with your feet that seamlessly blend in with the music you are dancing to, almost like an added instrument or drum beat.
Contemporary:
Contemporary dance is a free-form style of dancing that allows for strong creative expression through free movement and improvisation. It draws from many dance genres and techniques, such as classical ballet, modern, jazz, lyrical and acro. Contemporary dance for kids prioritizes self-expression and spontaneity. As a result, our dance students who take contemporary dance classes tend to develop physical and emotional self-awareness while improving their fitness and flexibility.

Ballet Classes
Ballet is a beautiful and graceful art form widely known as the foundation of all dance styles.
Our classes are an excellent introduction to the ballet journey. The ballet classes lay down the fundamental ballet skills in a fun and engaging environment with classical and modern music. They provide students with technical training and performance training.
Classes offer the necessary base to allow you to create, grow as a dancer and artist, and comfortably follow other various styles of dance.
Our new Cambridge Ballet classes are based on La Beauté Ballet Syllabus by APDA.
Ballet classes start at age 5 and are held on Fridays from 4:00pm
Jazz Dance Classes
One of Ignite Arts Academy's most popular classes is our Cambridge Jazz Dance classes! And with good reason!
Jazz has gained popularity due to television shows, movies, music videos, and commercials. With flowing movements similar to ballet, jazz dancers combine sharp turns, large leaps, and quick footwork in a show of flexibility and grace. Jazz classes involve flexibility training, isolations, and fun upbeat choreography.
Jazz class levels are professionally designed to learn the components, techniques, and terminology of jazz dance. In a jazz class, dancers are encouraged to add their own personalities to make each step unique and fun. All work is progressive and designed to develop coordination, strength, agility, and style.
Our renewed jazz classes are based on the Jazz Addict Syllabus by APDA.
Jazz classes start at age 5 and are held on Tuesdays from 3:30pm & Saturday mornings
Hip Hop Dance Classes
Ignite's Cambridge Hip Hop dance classes are a free form of dancing that really gets you moving.
Gain confidence, fitness, skill, and make new friends. Students will learn, thrive, and achieve together.
The resulting outcome is an energetic class that not only teaches you Urban movements and techniques but also instills rhythm and precision in your muscle memory.
Hip Hop Classes are for ages 5 to 16 and are held on Thursdays from 3:30pm
Contemporary Dance Classes
Contemporary Dance is about expressing emotion through organic movements and unrestricted lines. Incorporating elements of lyrical Jazz, Ballet, and Modern dance, Contemporary dance is an exciting fusion that allows students to work through powerful and emotional routines.
Contemporary dance classes combine strong and controlled ballet legwork with modern dance techniques. They also employ release-contraction techniques, floor work, fall, and recovery. Improvisation is included to encourage freedom of movement and musicality. The contemporary dance classes provide variations of exercises including swings and suspension, travelling progressions, floor sequences, turns, leaps, compositions, and dances.
Our new Cambridge Contemporary dance classes are based on Lucidity Syllabus by APDA.
Contemporary classes start at age 7 and are held on Wednesdays from 4:00pm
Musical Theatre Classes
Ignite Arts Academy is the leader in Cambridge Musical Theatre classes. As musical theatre dance classes are drama based, they require the dancer to have an understanding of how to create various emotions through their movement, facial expressions, and voice.
Musical theatre dance classes also known as 'theatre or Broadway dance' teach students how to sing whilst dancing – to control the breath and reserve energy, whilst at the same time telling the dramatic story being portrayed through the song.
Musical Theatre Classes start at age 5 and are held on Mondays from 3:30pm
