Classes

Zumba

Zumba is a Latin-inspired dance workout which doesn't include the boring parts of a workout, only the fun! Zumba engages all muscles while moving to Latin beats and doing easy-to-follow dances!

Acro & Tumbling

Our Acro and Tumbling coach uses different disciplines to help our dancers achieve and develop tricks within the comfort of our studio. Dancers will learn appropriate Acro skills and tricks, along with strengthening and flexibility exercises.

Intro & Combo Classes

Beginner to Intermediate level classes which usually combine two styles or types of dancing to allow dancers with less availability or time, or even experience to get the knowledge and movement to improve and gain mobility, rhythm, and coordination.

Tap

Tap dancing requires specific shoes that have metal toe and heel "Taps" which when using precise and confident movement creates the tapping sounds. Along with developing coordination of the feet, dancers will achieve better rhythm and musicality.

Musical Theatre

Combining Jazz movements with the stage work and acting of Broadway musicals and plays, Musical Theatre encompasses Jazz and Ballet technique, leaving plenty of room for freedom and for personalities to shine through.

Street Jazz

Street Jazz is a dynamic dance class that merges Hip Hop and Jazz Funk, emphasizing isolations, grooves, and improvisation. It promotes individual expression, enhances technical skills, builds confidence, and fosters community among dancers.

Jazz

Jazz dance features sleek, quick movements with hints of sass and personality. Using isolations, leaps, and turns dancers will combine energetic moves to the rhythms and beats of songs.

Lyrical

Our passionate Lyrical instructors hope to give our dancers the opportunity to express themselves and tell stories using a fusion of Ballet and Jazz styles. Unlike contemporary, Lyrical movements are usually to the words rather than the beats, emphasizing emotional movement.

Contemporary

Contemporary dance encourages the freedom of expression, improvisation and innovation of unique Jazz, Modern, and Ballet movements which are combined to create a story. Our teachers emphasize the importance of Contemporary dance and its ability to support many other styles.

Ballet

Our professional Ballet teacher will guide our dancers through a deep stretch, full body workout, and across the floor technical progressions. Classes will either do barre or center-floor work that engages core and enhances flexibility, lines, and strength.
