Metropolitan Academy of Dance

A specialized curriculum at several levels for children, with various combinations of ballet, tap, jazz, and tumbling. We believe that children should be exposed to many dance forms in order to build a good foundation from which much progress can be made in a wide variety of styles, from lyrical ballet or jazz to Broadway show dance and character pieces. This foundation will prepare them well for adapting to choreography in current and popular styles as well as classic and traditional styles.

For our preschool students, emphasizing body awareness and flexibility for dancers.

A style that blends ballet and jazz, performed to music with lyrics chosen to express emotion to serve as inspiration for movements.

Street style dance including breaking, locking, and popping primarily performed to hip-hop music that has evolved as part of the hip-hop culture.

A clearly defined, graduated method for all ages and levels emphasizing the development of a sense of rhythm and musicality.

An intensive program of technique and style emphasizing total body conditioning and awareness.

Ballet is the basis of all dance forms. It is perhaps the most demanding, yet rewarding form of dance. Not only is it beneficial to general physical fitness, it also encourages quick thinking and improves the memory, thereby integrating mind and body into a harmonious whole being. Ballet carefully develops strength, balance, style and the physical and mental discipline required for the proper execution of dance movements. Without a good solid foundation in ballet, progress in all other forms of dance is minimal. Therefore, in our school, ballet is emphasized. Pointe is an extension of ballet training for the very serious dancer, by teacher recommendation only.

In our Beginning Dance program, your child will boost brain power, express themselves through movement, think creatively, increase strength and endurance, build balance, focus, and memory, make best friends all while learning the fundamentals of ballet and tap technique!
