Classes

Irish Dance

In collaboration with the Carpenter Academy of Irish Dance, our Irish classes focus on the movement, rhythm, and style of traditional performance and competitive Irish dancing. Students begin learning soft shoe fundamentals and advance to hard shoe technique as they progress. For more information about the Carpenter Academy, visit www.carpenteririshdance.com

MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY

Modern dance is a highly creative approach to dance that pushes the boundaries of classical dance techniques to encompass all movement. Drawing on the techniques of modern dance pioneers such as Martha Graham and Lester Horton, in addition to incorporating elements of improvisation and experimentation, modern dance constantly explores new ways of moving. The Contemporary genre combines elements of ballet, modern, jazz, and even pointe techniques to create an expressive and fluid form of dance.

Tap

Tap is an ever-popular style of dance emphasizing musicality and rhythm. It is ideal for improving coordination skills, and makes a great complement to ballet training as well as music education. It is a fun and expressive form of exercise for all ages.

Jazz and Hip Hop are an excellent complement to ballet training. These expressive styles of dance open up many new possibilities for movement to the dance student. Done to popular music, they are fast-paced and fun form of dance.
