What Is the Senior Advanced Dance Class?
Senior Advanced is G12 Performing Arts’ extended advanced dance class for students aged 13 and over.
Rather than concentrating on one discipline, the class exposes dancers to a broad range of styles within one training programme. Students can work across stretch and conditioning, contemporary, hip hop, jazz, modern, tap, ballet, commercial dance and other forms of movement.
The variety is designed to challenge experienced dancers while helping them become more adaptable performers. Students are encouraged to refine existing strengths, respond to different styles and continue developing the technical and performance qualities needed at a more advanced level.
For dancers progressing through G12, Senior Advanced can form part of the next stage after our wider Senior Performing Arts programme.
Developing Versatility Across Different Dance Styles
Advanced dancers are often expected to move confidently between different techniques, movement qualities and performance styles.
The Senior Advanced class gives students experience across complementary disciplines, including:
- Stretch and flexibility work
- Contemporary Dance
- Hip Hop
- Jazz Dance
- Modern Dance
- Tap Dance
- RAD Ballet
- Commercial dance
- Additional styles introduced as part of training
Working across different disciplines can help dancers improve their ability to adapt to contrasting choreography, music and performance demands.
Students can also explore G12’s wider Dance Classes where additional specialist training is appropriate.
What Students Can Develop Through Advanced Dance Training
Our dance classes for teenagers in Glasgow are intended to be fun and rewarding, but students should also expect to be challenged.
Depending on the material being covered, training can support development in areas such as:
- Strength, flexibility and physical control
- Coordination, balance and alignment
- Dance technique across multiple disciplines
- Musicality, rhythm and timing
- Learning and retaining more demanding choreography
- Movement quality and stylistic adaptability
- Performance confidence and stage presence
- Focus, commitment and resilience
The aim is not simply to learn more routines. Students are encouraged to understand how they perform, identify areas they can improve and work consistently towards their own personal best.
Advanced Training for Dancers Considering Their Next Steps
Our Senior Advanced teenage dance lessons in Glasgow can be particularly valuable for students who are thinking seriously about where dance could take them.
Some dancers may be considering further performing arts training or a professional career. Others may simply want a more challenging environment in which to develop their abilities and enjoy dancing at a higher level.
G12 supports both ambitions.
The school’s wider approach places confidence and personal development alongside technical achievement. Advanced training therefore gives students room to challenge themselves without suggesting that every dancer needs to follow the same pathway.
Students interested in structured syllabus work can also explore ISTD Dance Classes, while Musical Theatre Dance offers another route for performers interested in combining movement with theatrical performance.
Part of the G12 Dance Progression Pathway
Senior Advanced sits within a wider journey that allows dancers to build their skills over time.
Students may begin performing arts at a young age before progressing through Junior Performing Arts, Intermediate Classes and Senior Training.
This progression gives dancers opportunities to build foundations before moving towards more demanding work as their confidence, technique and experience develop.
Families can explore the wider pathway through Stages at G12.
Who Is Senior Advanced Dance Suitable For?
