Song Pom

Song Pom: Pom is a style of dance in which dancers use poms throughout their routine. It is an upbeat, sharp, clean and precise style that also incorporates other dance styles including jazz and hip hop. Most college dance teams perform this style.

Ballet Technique

The Technique class will NOT perform in recital, and is instead focused on dance technique training. The class is specifically for dancers that want additional training; there will be center floor work, across the floors, and students will learn different combinatons throughout the session that implement this training. We highly recommend that this class isn't taken alone; it is meant to compliment other classes and provide extra training, but is in no way required.

Tap/Contemporary

Tap inspires rhythm and creating sound. It is great for understanding music, and building coordination and musicality. Contemporary is focused on emotion in song and movement, and the dancers learn how to connect the two.

Jumps & Turns/Contemporary

Jumps & Turns/Contemporary classes begin with a Ballet warm up, as Ballet is a foundation for every dance style. This is where students will focus on their technique, flexibility, and balance. Jumps & Turns is jazz inspired, with an additional focus on technique. Contemporary is focused on emotion in song and movement, and the dancers learn how to connect the two.

Hip Hop/Core

Our hip hop is a high-energy class that blends different styles of hip-hop dance including popping, locking, house, and more. Each dancer is encouraged to bring their own energy and flare to the movement. Hip Hop Core combines this with breaking, so the dancers learn tricks and coordination.

Broadway

Dance, sing, and act! Our Broadway classes each have a predetermined movie or musical theme that we follow each session. We choose several songs from the movie and create a whole dance inspired by the story. Choreography will have a range of style, and the focus is on learning overall performance. Each student chooses which character they want to be and gets a singing part, if they choose.
