ABOUT THE STYLES OF DANCE & CLASSES WE OFFER
BOOGIE WONDERLAND FITNESS
FUN open level and easy to follow Adult class

Where dance floor energy meets feel-good fitness.
The clue is in the name… we simply boogie, sweat and smile whilst reaching our goals! Boogie Wonderland Fitness is a fun, uplifting dance fitness class packed with feel-good tunes from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.
Think less “strict fitness class” and more “great night out on the dance floor!” This class is all about enjoying movement, letting go of daily stresses and getting a workout in without it even feeling like one. After all, when you dance around at a party and end up hot, sweaty and smiling, you know you’ve burned some calories too!
Using easy-to-follow routines and upbeat music, this class helps improve cardiovascular fitness, stamina, co-ordination and confidence in a relaxed and supportive environment. You do not need dance experience to come along — just a willingness to move, have fun and enjoy the music.
Boogie Wonderland Fitness is open to all adult ages and abilities and is designed to leave you feeling energised, empowered and happier by the end of class.

TAP DANCE
Can teach both ISTD & Free work classes
@Sarker Danceworks
Viki is fully DDE qualified in ISTD Tap Dance and can teach all grades within the ISTD syllabus, including the brand new Advanced 1 grade released in 2025.
Currently on the Sarker Danceworks timetable, Viki runs an ISTD Grade 6 Tap class for students working towards their ISTD examinations, alongside two Adult Free Work Tap classes. One class is aimed at approximately Grade 3 level, whilst the other is designed for more experienced tappers working around Grade 6/Intermediate level.
If you are a beginner interested in starting Tap dancing, please contact Viki to be added to the interest list for a future beginners Tap class.
Tap Dance is such an exciting and energetic dance style because it allows you to not only dance to music — but create your own music too. Through rhythm, sound and musicality, dancers learn to create their own beats and patterns using their feet, making Tap both expressive and incredibly fun.
Tap is a high-energy genre that helps improve cardiovascular fitness, co-ordination, musicality, muscle control and strength. And honestly… what is better than releasing energy by making lots of noise?! So many people LOVE it and it is feels like such a special thing to be able to do.

CONTEMPORARY DANCE
Experienced dancer class for both adults and children from 16+
@Sarker Danceworks
Contemporary Dance at Sarker Danceworks is about freedom of movement, emotion, artistry and learning to truly connect with both the music and yourself in a supportive and inspiring environment.
This class has a calmer, more lyrical feel whilst still allowing dancers to challenge themselves technically and creatively. In class, dancers learn expressive routines alongside travelling corner work, technique exercises and dynamic movement combinations designed to develop strength, flexibility, musicality, fluidity and performance quality.

But what truly makes this class special is the atmosphere within the room.
At Sarker Danceworks, we strongly believe dance is not about age — it is about the talent, creativity, respect and positive energy shared between the people in the space. Our Contemporary class brings together mature teenagers and adults who support, encourage and inspire one another regardless of age or background. The vibe in class is welcoming, calm, uplifting and creatively open, allowing dancers to feel safe to express themselves and continue growing in confidence.
This class is for dancers who want to keep learning, keep moving and be part of a lovely community where passion for dance and respect for one another are always at the heart of the room.

JOIN THE SARKER MOVEMENT
JAZZ, MUSICAL THEATRE & LIMBERING TRAINING
1 to 1 sessions available & workshops
@Sarker Danceworks
Jazz and Musical Theatre Dance are energetic, expressive and performance-focused styles that combine strong technique, musicality, flexibility and storytelling through movement.
Whilst there is not currently a fixed weekly Jazz or Musical Theatre group class on the Sarker Danceworks timetable, these are styles that Viki is very experienced in teaching through one-to-one sessions, private coaching and one-off workshops.
Classes and workshops can include technique training, limbering and flexibility work, travelling corner exercises, turns, kicks, leaps, performance quality and learning routines and combinations inspired by both Jazz Dance and Musical Theatre styles.
This style of training works brilliantly for dancers of many levels and ages — whether you are just beginning your dance journey, looking to improve confidence and performance skills, preparing for auditions or pursuing professional training within the performing arts industry.
Jazz and Musical Theatre coaching can also be an excellent addition alongside other dance training, helping dancers build strength, stamina, flexibility, dynamics and stage presence in a fun, supportive and motivating environment.
If you are interested in one-to-one training or would like to enquire about future workshops in Jazz or Musical Theatre, please contact Viki for more information.
MODERN DANCE
Group ISTD & Free work classes (Children)
@Sarker Danceworks
At present, the only regular group Modern class on the Sarker Danceworks timetable is an ISTD Grade Modern class, where Viki supports students through their ISTD examinations and technical training.
If you are interested in learning Modern Theatre, improving your technique or would like additional support alongside Modern classes you currently attend elsewhere, Viki also offers one-to-one Modern training sessions for all ages and abilities. Viki is fully DDE qualified in ISTD Modern Theatre Dance.
Modern Theatre is a highly energetic and rhythmic dance style which originated in America before spreading across the world. It is a broad and versatile genre, covering everything from lyrical and expressive movement through to upbeat Jazz and Musical Theatre styles.
Modern works beautifully alongside Ballet training, helping dancers develop strength, flexibility, dynamics, musicality and performance quality. The ISTD Modern syllabus includes a variety of exciting technical elements such as kicks, leaps, turns and travelling sequences, making it a fantastic style for building both technique and confidence.
