ABOUT GENTLE STEPS ARTS ACADEMY (GSAA)
​
​​
At Gentle Steps Arts Academy, our mission is to nurture creativity, confidence, and character in children aged 2–12. Through engaging programs in dance, vocal training, drama, and personal development, we provide a supportive environment where young artists can explore their potential, express themselves, and grow holistically. Our goal is to inspire a lifelong love for the arts while equipping students with the foundational skills and self-assurance they need to thrive both on and off the stage.
CLASSES OFFERED
Modern
Modern explores a free, expressive style of dancing started in the early 20th century as an opposite reaction to the already established classical ballet standard. ​
Ballet
Ballet is a type of performance dance that originated during the Italian Renaissance in the 15th century. It is a highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary based on French terminology.
Movement
This class is designed for all children to learn to express their feelings productively. They learn to develop their imagination and ability to focus. Repetition of activities and songs helps children with participation, development of language skills, memory, coordination, and timing.
Afro-Caribbean
Get ready to experience the infectious rhythms and dynamic movements of our Afro-Caribbean class! This class is an energetic and enjoyable way to immerse yourself in the rich culture of African & Caribbean music and dance.
Aerial Silks
Anti-gravity yoga or "aerial yoga", is a new type of yoga now being practiced in several countries, which combines the traditional yoga poses, pilates and dance with the use of a hammock. Be sure to join our FLOW at the end of the term where we put all those moves into a choreographed dance in the silks!
Hip Hop
Our Hip Hop Program offers an energetic and dynamic introduction to this popular dance style. Perfect for ages 8–12, students will learn foundational moves, rhythm, and choreography in a fun and supportive environment. Classes focus on building coordination, confidence, and self-expression while grooving to age-appropriate, upbeat music. Whether your child is a beginner or has some experience, this programme is a great way to spark their passion for dance.
Vocal Training
Our Vocal Training Program, for ages 6–12, helps young singers develop confidence, vocal technique, and stage presence. Through fun, engaging exercises and group performances, students will explore their voices, build musicality, and express themselves with confidence.
​
Acting
The acting program inspires creativity and confidence in young performers aged 7–12. Through acting, improvisation, and storytelling, students will develop communication skills, teamwork, and stage presence, all while exploring the exciting world of drama in a fun and engaging environment.
Acro-Gymnastics
Our Acro-Gymnastics Program combines the strength and flexibility of gymnastics with the fluidity of dance. Designed for ages 4–10, students will learn tumbling, balance, and acrobatic skills in a fun, energetic environment. This class helps build coordination, flexibility, and confidence while encouraging students to push their limits and achieve new feats.
