In HVT's tap classes the L.G.T.D.A. syllabus is taught. This syllabus produces excellent tap technique and a thorough knowledge of all tap variations. Pupils are encouraged to participate in annual examinations, which provide great incentive for improvement. HVT currently has a 100% exam pass rate. Pupils will also be taught performance skills such as group work, stagecraft and song & dance.


 
   
 

Jazz classes are designed for pupils who wish to dance to modern, up-tempo music. Classes begin with a warm up which improves flexibility and stamina followed by corner work and across the floor progressions. Pupils learn a choreographed routine & find this class fun & funky.


 
   
 

Children will be exposed to the Royal Academy of Dance (R.A.D.) syllabus which is the most recognised ballet organization in the world. The R.A.D. believes in the importance of every student having an attainable goal. Progress is measured either by examination or presentation class. Examinations are open to all students studying the Graded and Vocational Graded syllabi, offering them a challenge to demonstrate their understanding and knowledge of the work. However, examinations are not compulsory. Students who, for various reasons, may not wish to take a formal examination can opt instead for presentation classes or just simply learn for fun.


 
   
 

This class is available for pupils 6 years and over and is an excellent introduction to learning about drama and theatrical skills. Pupils will enjoy improvisation, characterization, voice projection, mime, audition technique and much more.


 
   
 

The extra attention provided with a private lesson will prepare students for eisteddfods using their chosen style of dance be it tap, ballet or jazz. Pupils learn solo routines and with practice will achieve improved results. Combined with their regular tap & jazz class, students can gain impressive results by also attending a ballet class and an eisteddfod group class.


 
   
 

During a singing private lesson pupils will be taught a variety of singing exercises to strengthen the voice. The lesson assists with confidence development through learning in a personalised atmosphere. Whether a students view is towards competition in singing eisteddfods, preparation for auditions, participation in exams or just simply sing for fun, singing private lessons are a vital part of any performers training.
