Dance styles Classical Ballet. Students study under the Syllabus of the British Ballet Organisation (BBO.) Established in 1930 BBO a brilliant training system. Choreographed by Brenda Last, the training is beautiful, elegant, and strong. This (BBO) for me feels the best to a dancers body, and sees the best results.

This is a well devised syllabus that develops well over the levels. Choreographed by Ann Dewey, NZAMD introduced this Contemporary syllabus in 2002, and since then it has grown steadily as teachers recognize its value. It is especially popular in ballet studios. This syllabus is about enjoying music and freedom of movement and helping the dancer feel space and breadth of movement. While teaching them to understand the concepts of contemporary movement such as weight, flow, momentum, and the use of gravity, the students continue to enjoy a sense of dance as they progress up through the levels. Introductory is aimed at students of about 9 to 10 years of age. Examinations in 8 levels plus Solo Performance Diploma We currently have 4 levels and 2010 will develop this syllabus further.
