Core Junior b
Age 8 - 11 years
Our Core Junior B classes are designed for dancers aged 8 to 11 years, supporting pupils as they continue to develop their technique, confidence, and performance skills. At this stage of training, dancers begin to build on the foundations learned in earlier classes while being encouraged to challenge themselves and refine their abilities.
Within Core Junior B, pupils train in ballet, tap, and contemporary modern jazz, allowing them to develop a strong and versatile skill set across multiple dance styles. Training in a range of genres helps dancers improve strength, coordination, musicality, and flexibility, while also developing their ability to perform with expression and confidence.
Classes are structured to introduce more detailed technique and choreography while maintaining a positive and supportive environment where pupils feel motivated to work hard and progress. As dancers grow in both skill and understanding, they are encouraged to take pride in their development and continue building their passion for dance.
Core Junior B provides an important stage in a dancer’s journey at N D Studios, helping pupils strengthen their technique and prepare for the next steps in their training.
What your child will learn
In Core Junior B, pupils continue to build on the foundations developed in earlier classes while beginning to refine their technique, coordination, and performance skills. By training in ballet, tap, and contemporary modern jazz, dancers develop a well-rounded skill set that supports their overall progression in dance.
In class pupils will learn to:
-
Dancers build on their knowledge of ballet positions, exercises, and combinations, developing improved posture, balance, strength, and control.
-
Pupils learn more detailed tap steps and rhythms, helping them improve timing, coordination, and musical accuracy.
-
Through expressive movement and choreography, dancers develop musicality, dynamic movement, and confidence in performance.
-
Exercises help improve overall body control, flexibility, and physical strength to support technical development across all dance styles.
-
Pupils continue to expand their understanding of dance terminology while learning how movement connects with music and rhythm.
-
Learning longer combinations and routines encourages dancers to perform with expression, confidence, and personality.
These classes help pupils continue developing strong technique, versatility, and confidence, supporting their progress as they grow within their training at N D Studios.
IDTA Dance Examinations

Performing on a real stage is a wonderful experience for young dancers, allowing them to showcase everything they have learned while building confidence, teamwork, and pride in their achievements.
Throughout the year, pupils may also take part in informal studio presentations, where family and friends are invited to watch what the dancers have been working on in class. These relaxed performances help children become comfortable performing in front of others and celebrating their progress.
