Course Overview

Talent Academy’s Dance Department is the embodiment of youth: Energetic, vibrant and dynamic. Dance is not just expressive movement. It is a storytelling tool that it supported by the versatility and dexterity of the breath and body.

“Do it big, do it right and do it with style”

Dance, like every other performance art form takes discipline and focus. But unlike others, a dancer’s career is short. Our emerging dancers will be on a fast track towards professionalism with rigorous training regimes. Come to class ready to work hard and play hard!

Hip-hop is a very dynamic style which applies the sense of rhythm, style and body-awareness through the understanding of beats, groove and body isolation. Popular among the youth, this course is definitely one to look forward to! Develop your own unique style of movement, be comfortable in your own skin-make new discoveries and sharing it with others.
