This class starts with a full warm-up working body isolations and stretching, and continues with a high energy dance combination set to popular Hip Hop and R&B music. Students will be able to share their own moves and improvise in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.

A combination of ballet, jazz, and modern dance techniques, this is a stylized form of dance focusing on abstract and contrasting movement, improvisational dancing, and emotional expression. The basis of this class will be exploration of choreography.

The focus of this class is on the development of musicality and rhythm. Students will study the tap alphabet, and be able to tell the difference between such movements as a step, a stamp and a stomp, and a hop, a leap and jump. “Letters” of the alphabet will be combined to form steps and various combinations. Class work will begin at the barre and transition over to center work once proper weight placement is understood.

This class will begin with a full stretch, focusing on personal awareness of body movements and abilities. Use of isolation work and locomotive progressions include turns, kicks and leaps. Memorization skills will be improved while learning short combinations. Different movement themes will be explored through the introduction of various music styles such as blues, lyrical, fast and funky, and classical jazz.

Ballet is the subject most encouraged to any student, as the technique learned in class translates to all other forms of dance. Barre work emphasizes alignment, poise, and proper execution of all steps. Center work emphasizes carriage of body, grace and fluidity, along with performance skills. Across the floor work incorporates jumps, leaps and turns.

An upbeat and fun class designed to fulfill the younger dancer’s desire to bop and groove to the latest pop music. Kids will have a blast in this fast paced, high-energy class, and parents will appreciate the age-appropriate music and dance moves. A short warm up starts the class, then students move across the floor & on to dance combinations. The class ends with a “Freestyle Circle” or game & promises tons of fun! This class is a great addition for dancers also taking our Dance Kids 1 and Dance Kids 2 classes!

This class is a continuation of the Ballet/Tap Combo. Dancers will continue to progress in ballet and tap, while the introduction of jazz adds a more dynamic approach to movement. Isolation elements are the focus in the jazz class, along with more progression work and simple combinations.

One half of class works on rhythm, musicality, and the basics of the tap alphabet. The other half of class, Ballet, works on simple barre work and classical positions, introducing steps that will then be combined into fun combinations. This class incorporates stretching, locomotive progressions, creative dancing, props, and partner work.

A fun tumble/dance class for the young dancer. Basic acrobatics skills combined with stretching, strengthening and locomotor movement. A great complement to Star Dancers or Dance Kids 1 for families looking for additional classes.

This class is a continuation of Dream Dancers for returning dancers and also a perfect introduction to movement for new four year old dancers. This one-hour class begins with tap & finishes the last half of the class with ballet. The addition of tap dance is a new approach to movement and coordination while discovering the joys of making music with your feet!

This basic ballet movement class is an introduction to classroom structure. Each class incorporates stretching, locomotive progressions and creative dancing. Props are used as teaching aides, creating a playful, yet educational atmosphere. This class works towards improving listening skills and developing classroom etiquette.
