Leighton Dance Project

The Company program is for the die-hard dancers that want to take their training to the next level. Run as a pre-professional company these dancers perform in a 3-part concert series: a modern take on a classical ballet, a tap concert, and a conceptual contemporary concert.

Our Crew program is designed for dancers who want a little extra in their dance training. These passionate dancers audition to be a part of one of our competition teams and train together all season long.

This program is for dancers who want to explore multiple styles of dance and will take a minimum of three classes a week. “Spotlight” in your favorite style and select two additional classes for your dancers’ schedule.

Acro dance combines movements from dance techniques such as ballet, jazz and hip hop with exciting tricks from acrobatics. In this fast moving class, dancers begin with the basics before moving onto more exciting skills. Many dancers like to compliment their dance technique with an acro class. LDP follows the Acrobatic Arts curriculum for our Acro dance classes.

Contemporary dance combines elements of several dance styles including modern, jazz, lyrical, classical ballet and hip hop. These classes strive to connect the mind and body through movement that stresses versatility, improvisation, and explores the idea of pushing the boundaries of traditional dance techniques.

The Running Man, the 6 step and the floss are just a few of our favorite Hip Hop moves. If you want to boost your child’s self-esteem, this energetic dance style is a great way to do it. This class focuses on technique and freedom of movement to encourage your child to explore some pretty cool moves.

Jazz is a fun, upbeat class with a focus on technique, lines, strength, flexibility, style and performance. Dancers learn everything from turns, kicks, and leaps to current choreography set to popular, age appropriate music.

Our tap program focuses on building a strong foundation of technique, musicality and improvisation. The rhythms are created by striking the floor with the tap shoes as a form of percussion. Not only is this type of dancing fast-paced and energetic, but it also improves your child’s memory, improvisation skills and musicality. The memorization of the steps keeps the mind focused which makes tap dance a great workout for the mind and body.

We consider ballet the foundation of many styles of dance. Ballet develops many skills in children including discipline and grace. While your child learns to leap at new heights and bound across the floor, they will also develop muscle strength, flexibility and poise.

Our Spotlight rehearsal class will be a blend of Jazz and Hip Hop! Dancers will learn the choreography they will perform in community events as well as their Winter Wonderland and Annual Review dances.

Spotlight 9-11 and 11-14 Train together in hip hop and, additionally, have the opportunity to select their appropriate ballet level class.
