Dance Arts Studio, Inc.

Private lessons are offered for ages 7 through adult, beginners through advanced. Lessons are typically in Ballet, but other genres are considered.

Lyrical & Contemporary dance is based on the techniques of such Modern Dance founders as Martha Graham & Lester Horton and has several style variations. It allows students to be expressive, while still incorporating Ballet and Jazz techniques. Classes are a blend of ballet, jazz, and modern dance, as well as the styles of today (as seen on popular television shows), and allow freedom without compromising technique. Contemporary dance includes floor work and can be considered fairly "athletic" in nature. Lyrical ballet is performed to music with lyrics to inspire movements that express strong feelings and emotions. The technique draws from both ballet and jazz.

Tap classes develop an enhanced sense of rhythm, coordination, and sound clarity. A combination of Broadway-style and rhythm tap is taught.

Jazz classes are energetic and fun! Classes are based on the methods of traditional jazz, as well as the styles of today (video jazz, hip-hop), and are always age-appropriate. Music styles used in class range from Oldies, Disco, 80s, and Pop, to name a few.

Our Hip Hop/Jazz classes offer boys and girls an intro to both Hip Hop and Jazz dance and is a great way to burn some energy! Students will learn fundamental hip-hop/jazz steps, combined with elements of hip-hop moves and popular age-appropriate music.

Must take at least two ballet classes per week and are dedicated to their dance classes may be invited by the instructor to test for Pointe Class.

Ballet is considered the foundation of all other forms of dance. Our ballet classes are influenced by the Cecchetti Method , which is an Internationally recognized method of classical ballet. The first part of the year is dedicated to technique and strengthening, while the last part is dedicated to recital choreography and performance. Students also learn correct ballet terminology, which is spoken in French.

This 45-minute class provides a good introduction to the basics of classical ballet and tap. Once dancers reach the age of 7 and have demonstrated technical proficiency in the combo class, they can make an informed choice as to which individual classes they would like to pursue. *Children in 2nd grade may also choose this class if they are interested in both Ballet and Tap, but are not ready to move into two separate classes per week. 

Our Creative Movement class is designed to provide very young children with a strong foundation in movement and rhythm, as well as an introduction to Ballet. Students will learn classroom etiquette and group dynamics, as well as counting, tempos, and coordination. A variety of musical instruments and props are utilized to assist in the fun! All students must be potty-trained.
