Classes

Acro

Acro dance combines dance technique with fluid acrobatic movements. Unlike the faster and stronger routines of gymnastics, acro dance is meant to enhance the art form of dance and provide the dancers with means of self-expression through smooth, graceful transitions. Dancers will gain strength, flexibility, and tumbling skills.

Contemporary

This is an expressive dance form that combines elements of lyrical, modern, jazz and ballet to express themes through movement. An emphasis is placed on fluidity of movement, floor work, directional and rhythmic changes, and control.

Jazz

Jazz dance is a fun, expressive dance style that incorporates turns, jumps, and kicks with other steps that are used for all forms of dance. An emphasis is placed on strength, flexibility and conditioning, as well as increasing memory and stamina for progressively complex and high energy combinations.

Ballet

Ballet is a series of exercises that progress from the ballet barre to the center of the room and often times, across the floor. Ballet is the foundation of all dance styles and teaches the necessary skills required to develop a strong technique.

Tap

Tap dancing increases coordination and develops a sense of rhythm and musicality in dance. The dancer’s feet become an instrument of “expression” that creates sounds with the floor. The class varies in styles from Traditional/Broadway Tap, Rhythm Tap (Hoofing) and Acapella.

Hip-Hop

Hip-Hop is a high-energy style rooted in street dance and urban culture. It features dynamic movements like isolations, grooves, freestyle elements, and dynamic movements performed to hip-hop music. Classes focus on rhythm, musicality, personal expression, and performance quality while teaching foundational techniques and the latest trends in commercial choreography.
