Thank you for taking the time to have a look at our programs, I
know Smashed It Dance Company will be a great fit for you and
your family. I am incredibly excited for 2019 and can’t wait to see
what each student achieves.
At Smashed It Dance Company, I pride myself on creating a place
where all children are welcome and can learn dance in a fun,
relaxed and safe environment, while upholding the values that I
see important for young children. Technique and strong
foundations are essential for all dancers, for me, it is far more
important to develop more than a dancer. The programs have a
strong emphasis on the students using their imagination to
develop creative thinkers.
“The core of Smashed it Dance Company is to make dance
accessible to all, where inclusiveness is a priority and creativity is
encouraged.” Ashleigh Hill

SMASHED IT DANCE SIGNATURE DROP IN CLASSES:DANCE
These classes are highly popular and extremely fun. The drop in dance classes are designed
teach the children simple, repetitive dance moves while being engaging and fun. Although
the classes don't focus on technique, the very basics of technique & gross motor skills
development are evident.
A lot of fun is packed into the 30 mins. The classes start with a warm-up and stretch. Once
the bodies are warm a new dance is taught centred around the theme. The end of the class
is a combination of games, social dances and a review of a previous week's dance. Not to
mention the anticipated surprise at the end.
At this age, not all children will be dancing for the whole 30 mins, and that is completely
fine. It takes a few weeks for majority of children to completely engage.

MUSIC & MOVEMENT
Our Music & Movement classes have been designed for children to learn the elements of
music and gross motor movement through popular children songs and nursery rhymes.
Music and movement helps children discover so much about themselves and the world they
live in. It is one of the many reasons why I have decided to start music and movement classes
at Smashed It Dance Company.
The classes are kept fresh and interactive with a variety of new songs, instruments &
equipment. A lot of song and dancing are jammed into the 30 minutes, which makes it a
whole lot of fun.
With the help of artists such The Wiggles, Justine Clark and many many more. This class
will get everyone in the room moving, grooving and singing along.

The aim of Kinderballet™ is to introduce the basics of Classical Ballet through imagination
and creative movement
Kinderballet™ is a ballet program developed specifically for children aged between 18
months and 5 year olds, as an introduction to Classical Ballet. The challenge with teaching
this age group is to hold their attention while introducing them to basic movement
principles.
At Kinderballet™, the children learn Classical ballet steps and develop basic gross motor
skills through imagery and story-telling. The programs are strongly influenced by current
pre-school education trends in teaching through play.
Why Kinderballet?
Balance - The right balance between fun and learning.
Programs - Specifically developed for preschool children by a former RAD (Royal Academy of
Dance) examiner.
Teachers - Highly qualified and experienced teachers, trained to deliver the Kinderballet™
Program.
Music - Specifically developed to teach our preschool ballet program.
Affordability - We offer an affordable preschool ballet experience - rather than a cheap one -
we don't require expensive uniforms, nor do we coerce you into overpriced end of year
concerts.

DANCEPreschool Combination
The Preschool Combination class is a great place to start as the children get to experience
a range of different styles. The class runs for 1 hour and is divided up into 20 minutes of
ballet, 20 minutes of Jazz/Hip Hop and 20 minutes of tap.
These classes create well rounded dances and give children a chance to find out which
style they enjoy the most. Towards the end of the year we focus heavily on ballet so the
children can participate in the end of year presentation day.
Tiny Tappers
Rhythmic, loud and loads of fun, our tiny tappers will learn the fundamentals of tap dance in
a fun and creative environment. Kids can’t get enough of the sound of tap shoes striking
the floor as a form of percussion.
A lot of fun is packed into the 30 mins. The class starts with a warm-up and games devised
to learn the basic tap steps. Once the bodies are warm the children will learn a simple
combinations to fun and age appropriate music.
HIP HOP
Mini Hip Hoppers is a new program for 2019 at Smashed It Dance Company and I am very
excited to be offering an introduction to Hip Hop for under 5s.
Hip-hop dance refers to street dance styles primarily performed to hip-hop music or that
have evolved as part of hip-hop culture. It includes a wide range of styles primarily breaking
and popping & locking, which was created in the 1970s and made popular by dance crews
in the United States.
Our hip hop program provides a safe and welcoming environment where each student is
encouraged to be themselves and grow with confidence.
