The Cincinnati Dance and Movement Center

Dance class for students ages 6 to 13 with special needs.

We offer a leveled classical ballet program (beginner through advanced) with a strong focus on correct technique while experiencing “la joie de danse” (the joy of dance). Ballet is the technical foundation of many other dance genres, and we like to encourage our students to study ballet in addition to their other dance classes. Our ballet classes stress proper technique at the barre and center floor, with an emphasis on correct body placement, strength, and flexibility. Students learn not only correct technique, but also correct terminology. We also offer two levels of contemporary dance for teens and adults - a beginner/intermediate class and an intermediate/advanced class for teens and adults with significant prior training in contemporary, lyrical, or ballet. These classes develop strong contemporary technique and offer students the opportunity to express themselves through the latest lyrical and contemporary styles.
