ADULT DANCE CLASSES

Adult Dance at Ignite Dance is a fun and empowering way to stay active while learning new skills. With classes in ballet, jazz, jazz funk, contemporary, and hip-hop fitness, there’s something for every style and level. Whether you're returning to dance or trying it for the first time, our adult classes are high-energy, supportive, and full of movement you’ll love.

YOGA

Yoga at Ignite Dance offers a calming and strengthening practice that improves flexibility, balance, and mindfulness. Each class blends breath with movement to help you feel centered, relaxed, and refreshed—perfect for all levels.

PILATES

Pilates at Ignite Dance is a core-focused, low-impact class designed to improve strength, flexibility, posture, and body awareness. Using controlled movements and breath work, Pilates helps build a strong, balanced body while supporting overall wellness. Great for all fitness levels.

ADULT AERIAL

Adult Aerial at Ignite Dance is a full-body workout that’s as fun as it is challenging. Perfect for beginners and adaptable for intermediate to advanced students, this class focuses on building strength and confidence through aerial silks and Lyra (aerial hoop). You’ll start with foundational skills like foot locks, basic climbs, and inversions, then progress to wraps, drops, and more advanced aerial techniques. It’s a unique and empowering way to get fit, fly high, and have a blast doing it.

CARDIO LEAN SCULPT

Cardio Lean Sculpt is a high-energy, low-impact workout that blends cardio, Pilates, and strength training using hand and ankle weights. Set in a heated room with loud music and low lighting, this class keeps you moving and sweating from start to finish. Every session ends with a refreshing cold towel—your well-earned cooldown after a powerful workout.

Competitive Dance

At a dance competition, students put their skills to the test by performing dance routines on a stage in front of a panel of judges. The judges then calculate scores usually based on technique, performance and costume. The dancers are then able to come back to the studio and listen to the judges’ critiques and use them as a learning tool to improve on their technique. Again, the focus for us during competition is having fun and gaining the tools to become better dancers in the long run. For students who want a little more challenge, the extra performances and class opportunities are needed. In competition companies, students are working towards a common goal. Also, attendance is more important and, at times, mandatory. Since everyone is present in class nearly every week, there is faster progress. The sense of belonging to a team is also very important. We do lots of team bonding inside and outside the studio.

Acro/Tumbling

Our Acrobatic Arts Tumbling Program blends classical dance technique with acrobatic skills in a safe, progressive, and structured environment. Dancers will develop strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination while learning tumbling skills such as backbends, handstands, cartwheels, walkovers, and more—taught with certified Acrobatic Arts methodology. Perfect for dancers of all levels who want to add dynamic tricks and seamless transitions to their performance skills! This class does have a dress code.
