Classes

Theatre Jazz

Musical Theatre is a multiple disciplinary field that requires a well-rounded performer. This stylized jazz class will focus on specific technique and choreography that prepares the dancer for theatrical-style work, as well as the actor who is looking to improve his or her audition. ADD ON CLASS SPECIAL - see portal for details!

Tap

This class concentrates on everything from basic tap technique to clarity of sound and combining new steps in patterns to travel across the floor. For the intermediate and advanced tap dancer we study wings, pullbacks, syncopation, and other turning, challenging combinations while emphasizing speed and clarity.

Repertory

This class is by invitation only. There are strict guidelines for attendance and participation. Students invited to participate must be serious dancers who take at least two ballet classes per week and Jazz in addition to this course. There will also be outside education and performance opportunities required for these students. If you are interested in this program, please discuss with Aly. Participation in Ballet, Jazz and Contemporary are prerequisites to be considered.

Pre-Combo (Pre-Ballet in Summer)

More than a creative movement class for the beginner. Children enjoy fun themes each month, including a doll day where they bring their favorite doll to dance with them! We work on large motor skills like balance and coordination, the ballet positions and pointed and flexed feet. Dancers love to explore new sounds with their tap shoes as they start to learn heels, toes, flaps and more! The learning is all disguised to keep your student motivated. Self-expression through music and movement is highly encouraged.

Modern Studies

This class will focus on classical modern techniques like Horton and Graham, with an emphasis on conditioning and technical development, as well as touch on the history of each technique and how it connects to dance today. Dancers ages 13+ must be enrolled in at least one other technique class to participate. ADD ON CLASS SPECIAL - see details in portal!

Leaps & Turns

This class is great for dancers who want to add to their technical toolbox. The class will include warm-up exercises that focus on flexibility and core strength to prepare for across the floor drills that enhance skills like change of body weight, spotting and use of floor space, while working on appropriate levels of leaps, jumps, kicks and turns. ADD ON CLASS SPECIAL - see details in portal! This class DOES NOT perform in recital - technique only.

Jazz/Hip-Hop

A combination class for the dancer that wants to dabble in both styles! A little bit of jazz technique with a little bit of Hip-Hop choreography. ADD ON CLASS SPECIAL - see details in portal!

Jazz

Students will learn jazz technique and stylized movement, including proper stretching and performance skills while increasing their flexibility and strength. Ballet is highly recommended for dancers wishing to excel in jazz.

Hip-Hop

Current “street” styles and pop music mix for a fun, energetic class of warm-up, isolations, tricks and choreography.

Creative Movement

This 30-minute class is designed to get little ones moving and grooving, with disguised learning to begin work on large motor skills like balance and coordination. Self-expression through music and movement is highly encouraged.

Contemporary

The expressive combination of choreography and technique with emphasis on emotion, performance and creativity. Our contemporary classes include both lyrical and modern foundations, and emphasis on improvisation and self-choreography. Dancers MUST be enrolled in at least one ballet class to register.

Combo

A Ballet and Tap combination class for a beginning or continuing student. They will have fun and develop a LOVE for dance, while learning the basics of both styles. Ballet skills include all 5 positions, more advanced traveling motor skills (chasse, polka skips, etc.) and beginning barre work. In tap, dancers will master shuffles, shim-shams, walking/running flaps and more!

Ballet/Pre-Pointe

This class is designed for the serious ballet student and is a must for the future pointe student. Students are given a lengthy barre to establish proper body alignment, turnout and increase foot and ankle strength. We recommend serious ballet students take a ballet class at least twice per week from age 10 and up. Students will likely need to be enrolled in this course for more than one year before pointe shoe placement. Students receive a conference with the instructor to advise them of their progress, discuss strengths and goals for pointe preparation.

Ballet/Pointe

This class offers students concentrated barre and center work to continue their ballet training. For dancers already on pointe, shoes (with teacher permission) should be worn for a portion or all of the class period but are not a requirement. Students must be placed on pointe shoes and take Intro to Pointe before they will wear the shoes during this class. Dancers should be taking 2 classes per week and consider adding Ballet Variations at this level.

Ballet Variations

For the serious ballet student, a fun class to focus on the choreography and performance aspect of ballet. Dancers will learn famous variations and perform for the class. Recommended as a THIRD Ballet class per week because there is no technical focus, only choreography. (Does not count for Rep requirements.)

Ballet Technique

10+, 12+ A ballet technique class for dancers without emphasis on pointe work. Dancers will do a full barre and center work. Great class for dancers who wish to progress their technique or a recreational dancer with high interest in ballet. This class can be paired with Pre-Pointe or Pointe (depending on level) for the twice per week dancer. A1, A2, A3, B, T An intense ballet class for the more advanced ballet dancer - complete with full barre, center work and reverence. Should be paired with a second class per week minimal - either another Technique or Pointe class.

Ballet

The separate ballet class is ideal for the younger student who wishes to concentrate on ballet. Dancers will add to their barre exercises and beginning center work including port de bras, jumps and turns. This class is the necessary next step for a dancer with future pointe shoe goals.

Adult Dance

18+ Geared for the advanced beginner or dancer of long ago, this class will feature different styles each session including Ballet, Jazz and Modern. Optional performance opportunities too!

Acrodance

Designed as an Add On class, students will add components of gymnastics that are applicable for dancers. Beginning with a flexibility- and strength-based warm-up, through stations to build skills and tricks, this class is fun for all dancers who wish to add a little acro to their dance! ADD ON CLASS SPECIAL - see details in portal!

Camps

DanceCamps

A week long of fun! Camps offer a variety of experience with art projects, music history, nutrition and health lessons, games, dance class and even a movie/snack break! Each camp features a themed performance at the end of the week where all dancers are cast in a part with DIY crafty costumes and fun choreography. DanceCamps are offered in the summer session only.
