Nanette Boyer Ballet Dance Studio

Advanced ballet technique focused on dancing on the tips of the toes using pointe shoes. Emphasis is on mastering the technical aspects of pointe work, including strength, balance, and precision, while continuing to develop overall ballet technique and artistry.

Pre-Pointe prepares students for the artistry and discipline of pointe work by focusing on strength, alignment, and balance. Once ready, dancers may advance to Pointe, where they learn to perform on pointe shoes with grace, precision, and control. These classes emphasize safety, proper technique, and artistry while helping students achieve the elegance and strength that define classical ballet.

Energetic and dynamic, Hip Hop classes introduce foundational street dance techniques while encouraging individual style and creativity. Dancers enjoy learning fun, rhythmic choreography to uplifting Christian music from artists like Toby Mac and Kirk Franklin. Modest attire and movement keep the focus on skill, confidence, and coordination, making Hip Hop both exciting and family-friendly.

Lyrical dance blends the strength of ballet with fluid, expressive movement to create a style that emphasizes telling the story through dance. At the beginner level, students build a foundation in lyrical technique, musicality, and fluidity. Intermediate students refine their movements and begin conveying more complex narratives, while advanced dancers master technique, precision, and artistry to deliver powerful performances. Lyrical classes inspire creativity and help students connect emotionally with both music and audience.

Tap offers a lively and rhythmic way to connect movement with music. In Tap 1, young dancers are introduced to basic steps, rhythm, and coordination while building musicality. As they advance into Tap 2, students take on more challenging rhythms and combinations, learning to express style, speed, and performance quality. Tap classes provide an exciting way to develop precision, timing, and confidence on stage.

From Ballet 1 through Ballet 6, students grow step by step in their technical skill, artistry, and performance quality. Beginning with foundational positions and movements, dancers develop coordination, posture, and body awareness. As they progress, classes introduce increasingly complex steps, combinations, and vocabulary, while also strengthening flexibility, alignment, and balance. Intermediate levels focus on refining technique and building confidence, while advanced levels emphasize artistry, precision, and preparing for performance opportunities. Whether starting as a beginner or training toward advanced performance, ballet students gain discipline, grace, and strength that carry into every area of life.

Our youngest dancers begin with Creative Movement, where the focus is on basic ballet steps, coordination, and the joy of movement. These classes nurture imagination and confidence while introducing the beauty of dance in a fun, age-appropriate way.
