Lyrical dance is a style of dance that combines elements of ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance. It is known for its fluid and graceful movements, as well as its emotional expressiveness.

Help them embrace confidence in a new way via expression and movement on the dance floor! Our hip-hop professionals make it a point to teach every dancer not only how to follow a combination of steps, but to develop a style of their own.

These are the styles of classes offered at the studio.

Learning how to dance is an achievement in and of itself, but being a diverse dancer is a gift that not many have the opportunity to have. The beauty behind jazz, lyrical, and contemporary is that it teaches you how to move to several types of music and use different rhythms, movement, and technique every time.

Contemporary dance originated in the 1950’s and is a fusion of ballet, modern, and jazz dance. The style focuses on non-standard movements to express sentiment. Furthermore, common elements emphasized in contemporary dance include floor work, and focus on the importance of using the breath when dancing.

Jazz is one of the most historic forms of dance, and at Ascendance our Jazz classes stay true to history. Jazz has evolved as a free-form style that develops as the music increases and decreases in pace. With a strong focus on technique, jazz encompasses style and strength. In addition, students will learn a variety of movements to enhance their technical dance foundation, as well as develop their individual style.

If you are looking for your child to try a style that is completely unique and exotic, flamenco may be a great choice! With its origins in the southern region of Spain, flamenco has strong influences from the Andalusian gypsies and cultures of southern Asia. Further, flamenco is a style that incorporates intricate footwork with graceful hand motions. The different styles of music dictate the intensity of the foot movement and the feet, hands, body, and face all amplify each other in this cultural and intense style of dance. This genre of dance also incorporates other percussion instruments like castanets, bells, tambourines, etc to add rhythm to choreographic pieces.

At Ascendance, we recognize that ballet is the foundation of all dance language. Based on stylized music and a classic foundation, we strongly emphasize the importance of ballet technique in our classes. Usually performed to instrumental music, students are guided through the basics of ballet from positions, barre work, and exercises across the floor, to other floor work and combinations building strength and technique. Since ballet is at the core of all dance styles, it is integral in our curriculum. Ballet is precise, highly formalized, and disciplined. It will strengthen dancers beyond their own expectations and allow them to develop proper and fundamental dance technique. Dancers will become physically stronger, develop their core muscles, lengthen their muscles, and challenge their minds. They will improve their posture, balance, musicality, grace, and flexibility. At Ascendance Studio, it is highly recommended to take at least one ballet class, in addition to other styles.

Dancers learn responsibility with time management, as well as beneficial ways to exercise physical, mental, and emotional health. Focus on rigid technique and flow in ballet class, let out your inner groove in hip-hop class, or choose from our other amazing class offerings– the sky is the limit.

Flamenco is known by the grace movement of the hands as well as the controlled rhythmical movements of the feet. The dancers try to express their deepest emotions by using body movements and facial expressions. Today, flamenco dance is becoming more popular worldwide, not only because of its beauty, but because this form of dance teaches how to isolate movement and strengthen the muscles. It allows for an inner sense of the body that informs, where, and what each part of the body is doing at all times.

Lyrical is a style of expression and therefore can be a very effective stress reliever. The music associated with this genre of dance tends to be softer and more soothing than the music for other styles of dance. Dancers aim to correlate their movements to the changing rhythms of the music by utilizing the control and technical skills that they have learned in class. Lyrical teaches patience and determination when aiming to master new skills, especially those that require multiple weeks or even months to perfect.

Jazz showcases the dancer individual style and originality. Jazz dance was developed parallel to popular music, thus the movement continuously changes and evolves into different styles and ramifications.Lyrical and Contemporary styles are great examples of these ramifications. Jazz dance is extremely good for dancers to loosen up to music and at the same time learn technical skills.

Hip-Hop is referred primarily to street dance styles. The movement in Hip Hop has lots of different dynamics; it's powerful, energetic, and stylish and allows for freedom of movement. While hip hop dance can be great for students aerobically, it can also help strengthen and tone muscles, and give joints more flexibility and elasticity.

Ballet is the foundation of all other dances and is based on stylized movement.This is a form of dance that is performed to instrumental music using precise and highly formalized steps.Ballet will help students with better posture, strength, balance, musicality, grace and flexibility. We highly recommend for all students to take at least one hour of ballet a week.
