It is important to note that consuming Fire School of Dance will not place students on pointe before they are fully prepared. Our students must pass their grade one exam and be at least 12 years old before being considered for pointe shoes. This form of advanced ballet requires strength, technique and correct posture.

Clogging classes offer a unique blend of physical fitness, mental engagement, and cultural appreciation. As a rhythmic and energetic dance style, clogging is fun, expressive, and accessible to people of all ages and skill levels.

Jazz classes are offered in addition to the core curriculum. In addition to working with musical phrasing and beats, a strong technical base is needed. By combining technical skill, physical fitness, and expressive creativity, jazz dance helps students grow into well-rounded performers while fostering life skills such as confidence, discipline, and teamwork. It’s a fun, energetic way to explore the art of dance while reaping lifelong benefits.

Acrobatic Arts or “Acro” is the fusion athleticism , agility, and strength through acrobatic skills, that despite being technically difficult to execute, acro tricks are meant to blend in seamlessly providing an extra level of excitement and flair to choreography. Acro also focuses more on tricks that defy the center of gravity, whereas gymnastics tricks are meant to be executed in straight lines. Acro has softer, more lyrical looking lines, with the emphasis being on lengthening “through” the tricks and holding pretty balances with interesting variations.

Tap and ballet develop core strength, balance, flexibility, and a strong sense of rhythm. Memorizing choreography enhances memory and concentration as children learn to recall sequences of steps.
