Every dancer’s journey is different. Some fall in love with ballet from the first plié, others find their rhythm in the tap studio, and many discover their spark through the storytelling of musical theatre. Part of the magic of training at Arabesque School of Performing Arts is watching students explore, experiment, and gradually find the style that truly feels like them.
There’s no single path, no right or wrong choice — just an open space where students are free to learn, grow, and see what clicks.
It Usually Starts with Curiosity
Most students arrive with a vague idea of what dance is. Sometimes it’s a love for music, other times it’s a friend’s recommendation or a childhood memory of a stage show. At Arabesque, our classes are designed to give students a well-rounded introduction — a chance to try different styles and discover where they feel most connected.
Often, their favourite style isn’t the one they expect. A child drawn to the elegance of ballet might suddenly light up in jazz class. Another might enjoy the rhythm of tap before realising how much they love the energy of commercial. And that’s the beauty of it — dance gives students the chance to find their own rhythm, not just follow one.
Each Style Unlocks Something Unique
Every genre of dance brings something different to the table, and students naturally gravitate towards the one that suits their personality, interests, or strengths.
Ballet builds grace, poise, and focus. It’s a strong foundation for all dance styles and perfect for students who enjoy structure and developing precise technique.
Tap is all about musicality and footwork. It’s ideal for students who love rhythm and want to turn movement into sound.
Musical Theatre combines acting, movement, and storytelling. It suits expressive students who enjoy character work and a bit of theatrical flair.
Modern blends technique and freedom. It offers students a space to connect movement to emotion and explore more abstract choreography.
Jazz is bold, dynamic, and full of energy. It’s great for students who enjoy strong lines, sharp movement, and performing with power and personality.
Acro combines dance with tumbling and gymnastic-style movement. It’s a favourite among flexible and fearless students who enjoy flips, balances, and building physical strength in creative ways.
Commercial and Street Dance bring current trends into the studio — energetic, expressive, and often influenced by music videos and pop culture. These styles appeal to students who love to move with attitude and individuality.
There’s No Need to Choose Straight Away
It’s completely normal for students to enjoy more than one style — and many do. At Arabesque, we encourage students to explore different classes and see how each one builds different skills and boosts confidence in unique ways.
Some students stay with multiple disciplines, while others naturally settle into the one that feels like home. The important thing is giving them the space to figure that out on their own — with guidance and support along the way.
Dance should be fun, and you’re much more likely to give it up if you’re not enjoying yourself. That’s why we create an environment where students are free to explore what they love — with no pressure to “choose” before they’re ready.
A Dance Style That Feels Like Theirs
Finding a favourite class is about more than movement. It’s about connection. It’s about walking into a studio, trying something new, and feeling completely at ease in your body — like this is exactly where you’re meant to be.
At Arabesque School of Performing Arts, we’ve seen how students light up when they find their match — and we’re proud to help them grow in it.
