Throughout our lives, we work with others to achieve common goals. Physical fitness and health are important, but teamwork is a skill more valuable than tumbling or athletic ability. Our athletes have learned sportsmanship and learned to work toward shared goals. We have collected more than enough trophies, banners, medals, rings, and jackets to fill our gyms, but we are most proud of the life lessons that we have given the athletes in our program.

A form of tap dance deeply rooted in jazz syncopation and musicality, rhythm tap uses syncopation and off-beats, instead of strict adherence to following the music. Emphasis is placed on developing proper technique, learning challenging combinations, and developing a sense of presentation and style. Rhythm tap can accompany music or can be performed acapella.

This form of dance encompasses balance, control, flexibility, and interpretation of music. The dancer will explore movement, space, rhythm and creativity with emphasizes on momentum, shapes and patterns. Inspired by nature, music, art, and human emotions the student will ultimately learn to express a personalized vision, often through experimentation and collaboration for the development of new, more individualized approaches to the moving body and choreographic possibilities.

This genre is a high energy fast paced folk dance in which the dancer’s footwear is used musically by striking the heel, the toe, or both against a floor or each other to create audible percussive rhythms, usually to the downbeat with the heel keeping the rhythm.

We challenge our students with many different forms of jazz, all high energy, but with different styles. These camps are popular with all ages and provide and added benefit of cardiovascular exercise due to the high level of energy exerted. Jazz camp is a fun and fast paced mixture of various techniques. Emphasis is placed on developing proper technique and flexibility, as well as proper posture, placement, alignment. Jazz students benefit from knowledge of ballet, and are strongly encouraged to include ballet in their dance curriculum, as it encourages techniques commonly utilized in jazz. Acrobatics/Gymnastics will also help jazz students improve their flexibility.

Hip Hop is a blend of today’s high energy “street style” movement and has been sought after by teens, Preteens and the “young at heart.” The style boasts that everyone is capable of taking part and having fun! In the first introductory levels, the staple steps of hip hop are explored. A foundation is set as well as introducing dancers to a funkier side of dance. A challenge for many students is breaking out of their comfort zone, and is overcome through a self-expressive dance circle at the end of the camp. As the levels progress, different movements and styles are explored as their age and ability increases. In the higher levels, there is less focus on the staple steps and more of an exploration of various styles through a foundation of strong technique and musicality. Age appropriate music is always selected for each level, keeping each camp a fun and exciting environment for all!
