Tap

Tap is defined as a style of dance in which a dancer wearing shoes fitted with heel and toe taps sounds out audible beats by rhythmically striking the floor or any other hard surface. The shoes are fitted with metal taps making it possible to create nearly any sound or beat.

Poms

Poms classes at DancEd are fun and upbeat, where the dancers perform to jazzy music that will give them the opportunity to succeed in junior high and high school pom activities. Jumps, turns, kicks and strong, sharp movements are the primary focus of these classes.

Modern

Modern dance incorporates the technique based elements of both ballet and jazz. Modern is a more expressive style of dance which utilizes a variety of movements that depend on contracting and releasing, along with sharp and jagged movements. It is typically performed without any sort of shoe, and our dancers typically rehearse barefoot.

Lyrical

Lyrical is a jazz-based dance style where dancers express strong emotions. Dancers show their love of dance through their connection with the music which pours out of their performance. This style of dance is usually performed to music that contains highly emotional lyrics that require more slow and graceful movements.

Leaps & Turns

This technique-based class focuses on correct form and body placement for dancers working to master various jumps and turn-based movements. Leaps & Turns is a non-recital class that is intended as an add-on class for more serious Jazz dancers.

Jazz

Jazz Dance is an American art form, arguably made popular worldwide in the 1960s by Chicagoan Gus Giordano. Although difficult to define, Jazz is a technique-based art form with a basis in rhythm and origins in jazz music.

Hip Hop

Like Jazz and Tap, Hip Hop Dance originated in America. Its name refers to a style of dance that originated in the street and includes a very wide range of stylistic movements such as locking, popping and breaking. Since Hip Hop is style-based instead of technique-based, its artistic possibilities are endless.

Poms/Hip Hop

A 30-minute movement class with mom in the room for children ages 18 to 30 months (2 ½ years).

Ballet & Pointe

Ballet is the foundation for all technique based dance, and Pointe is the apex of the art. Ballet dance involves the disciplined completion of graceful and precise movements and requires considerable lower body and core strength. Pointe is a variation of many of the same movements, but executed will standing vertically on one’s toes.

LYRICAL

Lyrical is a jazz-based dance style where dancers express strong emotions. Dancers show their love of dance through their connection with the music which pours out of their performance. This style of dance is usually performed to music that contains highly emotional lyrics that require more slow and graceful movements.
