Classes

Acrobatic Arts

This is an intermediate/advanced floor work tumbling class which improves flexibility, strength, balance and coordination, while building on basic acrobatic skills. Students are in a class, but given individual attention and allowed to progress on tricks individually.

Contemporary

Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements. All contemporary students must also be enrolled in ballet and jazz. All classes perform in our recital.

Lyrical

Lyrical dance is a dance style that blends ballet and jazz dance. Lyrical is generally smoother and a bit faster than ballet, but not quite as fast as jazz. A lyrical dancer uses movement to express strong emotions such as love, joy, and anger. All lyrical students must also be enrolled in ballet and jazz. All classes perform in our recital.

Jazz

These classes present a rounded class of stretching and increasing flexibility and strength. Turns, leaps and complex combinations are taught at these levels. All classes perform in our recital.

Tap

Tap dance is a form of dance characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. Tap originated in the US through the fusion of several ethnic percussive dances, primarily West African, Scottish, Irish, and English dances.

Ballet

These classes study alignment, rotation, and the technique aspect of ballet. These classes will focus on proper alignment, positions of the arms, direction of the body, flexibility, strength, advanced technique and increased movement vocabulary. Ballet is a main building block of dance, and these classes bridge the gap between the intermediate and advanced dancer. All ballet classes perform in the recital.

Adult Classes

Our current offering of Adult Classes includes; Tap and Ballet

Hip Hop

Hip-hop dance refers to street dance styles primarily performed to hip-hop music or that have evolved as part of hip-hop culture. It includes a wide range of styles primarily breaking, locking, and popping which were created in the 1970s and made popular by dance crews in the United States. There are multiple class levels based on age and ability. These classes perform in our recital.

Level 2

These classes begin to move into much more complicated combinations, as well as advanced steps. Flexibility, strength, endurance and dedication begin to factor into these developmental years. They are offered tap, ballet, jazz and AcroDance. These classes perform a dance in the recital for each of the types of dance they study, except Acro.

Level 1

These levels are very exciting, and are where the children really begin to dance. They begin understanding the concepts of technique and learn more complicated combinations. They are taught performing skills and begin to learn some advanced steps. Progress at this level is great. It is where we begin to divide children by ability and experience instead of ages. They are offered tap, ballet, jazz and AcroDance. These classes perform a dance in the recital for each of the types of dance they study, except Acro.

Combination

Our 5 - 7 year old dancers take a combination class of tap, ballet, jazz and AcroDance. These classes teach the building blocks of each technique, working towards mastering the basic terminology and steps and preparing for taking longer classes in each of the dance techniques. These classes perform two dances in our annual recital.

Creative Movement

Our pre-school classes include the fundamentals to participate in future dance classes, as well as begin school. The students study ballet, tap and AcroDance. They exercise with movement games and sing children’s songs. Their creative ability is encouraged, and they work on musicality and coordination. They are taught basic dance steps, with correct terminology and beginning combination skills. These classes perform one dance in our annual recital.
