Boys Street & Break Dance

Our boys classes are very fun and energetic, encorporating the technique of street dance (rhythm, spatial awareness, performance, presentation and co-ordination) with tricks and stunts thats currently all the rage. The boys get to take exams and perform in shows and we are really looking forward to taking them to competition in the future!

AQA GCSE Dance

For those keen to take a nationally recognised qualification, Protegem is proud to offer GCSE Dance as an after school course over 2 years.

We offer the course to students as they enter year 9 at school, which means they will already have attained their GCSE before all the compulsory ones at school!

GCSE Dance teaches appreciation, choreography, theory and technique as well as developing study skills that are necessary for year 11 exams and further education.
