This class explores the artistry and technique of classical ballet! The class is taught with a low-stress, movement-based approach to learning. Time is given to breaking down complex steps while also ensuring that dancers at all levels experience the exhilaration and joy of moving to music. Class begins with the traditional exercises of the classical ballet barre, progressing to center-work tailored to the needs and desires of the individuals attending.

Every dancer needs a tool kit to keep them on a path of limited injuries and improved performance. And every dancer also needs a regimen to utilize before classes and performances for focus and mental health. Conditioning class will give dancers a series of warmups, targeted muscle exercises, flexibility routines, and meditative cool downs that increase with challenge over the course of the school year and each year thereafter.

Bollywood dance is a fusion style originating from India's Bollywood films. It blends classical Indian and western pop dance styles, such as jazz and hip hop.

These classes are specifically designed for dancers so we are encouraging all students in Levels A-D to take these classes, if possible. This body mindful class is based on general strength and stretching exercises essential to EVERY dancer's health and well being. We will also delve into injury prevention by taking the time to discuss root causes of common injuries while simultaneously learning tools to prevent or mitigate these injuries. We will have time to discuss what is going on with each student; we will finally have time to answer specific questions from each student about particular things that bother them as everyone goes through very technical ballet training. Highly recommended for the upper levels- even if they are not dealing with a specific injury. Let's come together to get strong, have fun (pop music only!) and learn some great self care tools to take with us through our ballet training!

For 2-3-year-olds, this is the first step for the young dancer, incorporating ballet movement in a semi-structured class using improvisation, musical play, and introducing the concepts of barre and center-floor work. Children typically take only one class per week, and sessions for this age group are shorter than the normal one-hour class. Children should be toilet-trained and developmentally ready to separate from their parent and participate in a group in order to enroll.

For children 4 through 5 years of age, these classes instill the most basic skills of barre and center work at an age-appropriate level while developing strength, coordination, and musicality.
