Stretch Leap
& Spin (SLS)

A Dancer’s Award for Jazz, Ballet, and Tap students, available for Junior, Intermediate and Senior levels.

Designed to develop flexibility (stretch), introduce the student to big jumps and leaps (leap), and improve turning technique (spin) through a fun and energized syllabus which teachers are finding to be an excellent addition to their class content.

This Award is more assessment than examination and at the end of the students’ performance the examiner presents them with an attractive Banner. Parents may view this presentation.

“This syllabus has made a great difference to the students who have gone through this work. It has allowed them to concentrate on their flexibility in a fun and energetic way without feeling that they are having to learn anything difficult. It just seems to happen! And after a while they feel they have stretched their bodies to their maximum ability and enjoyed the process. I have found that it has made a tremendous difference—those who couldn’t get into the splits or have loose leg kicks can now do it more easily. The students tell me they like being able to put the lovely blue and gold banner on their walls, and they still enjoy doing the work as they know it will keep them flexible.”
