Classes

Ballet

Training in ballet allows students to be more successful in their acquisition of technical skills shared by all dance forms. The line, discipline, and grace established in ballet also helps with confidence in social settings, public speaking, sports, theatre, cultural history and aesthetics. In our advanced ballet class students are chosen based on conditioning and progress to begin a portion of the class en pointe.

Creative Movement

Ballet fundamentals are introduced in this fun filled setting rather than one that inhibits the younger dancer’s boundless energy. Creative dance combines storytelling, games and props (scarves, hula-hoops, balls, etc.) to allow the younger dancer the freedom to discover his/her own unique movement.

Acrobatic Arts

Acro is an especially challenging style for dancers to master as training in both dance and acrobatic elements is required.  Acro technique includes balancing, limbering, tumbling and partnering, based on flexibility, contortion and strength.
Dancers who train through Acrobatic Arts have balanced development, are stronger, more flexible and fearless.

Tap

Students will learn to listen to music in a whole new way and then transform what they hear; into the music which dances out of their tap shoes. Tap dance is putting rhythms together using toe beats and heel beats. Along with exploring and creating different rhythms, students will learn the art of polyrhythms and improvisation. Once a student learns the 7 basic steps of Tap Dance, he/she will be ready to transform those basic steps into rhythmic beats and/or create music.

Lyrical

Lyrical dance has been defined as a dance style that embodies various aspects of ballet, jazz, acrobatics & Modern dance while still maintaining its autonomy.  Lyrical is much more fluid than ballet and much faster but not quite as fast as jazz.  Lyrical choreography will interpret the lyrics of the music literally, using movement to enhance the story.

Hip Hop

Hip Hop, the social dance form that has taken the world by storm!  In this class students will explore various style of hip hop dance from lockin', poppin', boogaloo, to commerical styles.  Dancers will get their sweat on and learn how to groove in a way that will make others jealous.  Additionally, a supportive environment will help to build confidence on and off the dance floor!  

Jazz

One of the most popular and well known forms of dance. Jazz dance includes strength, flexibility and conditioning technique and progressions including turns, kicks and leaps. In a Jazz class the dancers also learn many fun and trendy dance steps that are used for all forms of dance. It is a wonderful class to get a well rounded variety of all dance steps. Dancers will learn choreography to popular and age appropriate music of today along with vintage styles of jazz from the last decades. This is a perfect class to start your dance training.

Contemporary

Modern appeals to the dancer who has acquired basic ballet skills and is looking for an artistic challenge. The students learn to physically express their emotions in order to convey an idea. This highly personalized style includes: bold athletics, fun partnering, tricky floor-work, pulsating rhythms and seamless fluidity.
