Classes

Lyrical Level Based Classes

This dance genre is the beautiful mixture of Ballet and Jazz. It resembles the art of storytelling with a heavy emphasis on emotion. We require our Lyrical dancers to take ballet in order to take this class. This enables our dancers to focus more on lyrical than the ballet technique that is needed to make this genre so beautiful. Each class the teacher will do a warm-up, across the floor, and teach choreography. We currently offer two different levels for this genre and host classes for ages 8+.

combo classes that offer tap to as young as two years old

Tap is the creation of music with ones feet. This is a great class for those that love to tap their toes and create beats wherever they go! We start each class with a warm-up song to get our feet moving to the beat of the music. Then we move to the barre to understand the basics of a shuffle and how to use the bottom of our feet appropriately in making different sounds. Across the floor we work on all flaps, flap heels, buffalo’s, maxi ford’s and combinations of these together. The best part of class is putting all our moves and rhythm together to create fun routines. Come try out a class, you might be surprised at how much you like it!

Jazz Classes

Jazz is sometimes the overlooked genre in the dance world. Jazz has helped develop many other styles such as lyrical, contemporary, modern, etc. Jazz is the basic body movements that move in sync to the music. Jazz is typically a fun, upbeat, and full of energy style class. In our jazz classes we focus on rhythm and counting music through fun dance combinations across the floor, learn how to isolate all body sections, stretch, and enjoy all leaps, jumps, and turns that are associated with Jazz. No experience is needed to take this class so come join the fun! We also host an "All That Jazz" class that allows students to learn about different genres in the jazz dance world! We allow students to enroll in jazz starting at age four.

Ballet Level Classes

Ballet is stressed as a graceful yet strong dance. The students are challenged to better their positions, posture, and arms to help them master skills. Each class spends time at the barre, where ballet technique is drilled and encouraged. Class time will also be spent on stretching to enhance their flexibility needed for future levels. Ballet jumps, leaps, and turns, as well as feet combinations across the floor are standard work done in each class. We currently have three Ballet levels and we start these level based classes at age 6.

Pre-Ballet

During this class we focus deeper into the proper fundamentals of ballet. We start class center floor and spend time on ballet positions and proper stretching. We begin to discuss the benefits of good posture and soft fingers for future ballet levels. Throughout the class we spend time at the barre, across the floor, and learning fun routines that help us understand and love the art of ballet. While most of our classes are level-based, this class is designed for ages 3-5 years old. Tippy Toes are the only requirement for this class ?

Creative Ballet

This class is an entry level to our Pre-Ballet class where the kids learn the early fundamentals of ballet through interactive and fairy tale songs. We use tons of imagination play by turning ourselves into all kinds of fairies and creatures as we learn the basics of ballet. While most of our classes are level-based, this class is designed for ages 2-3 years old.

Tap/Tumble Combo Class

This is a great combination for both boys and girls to get out all their wiggles and put their body to the test with rhythm and tumbling. Each class starts with 20 minutes of tap where the kids learn how to tap their toes, dig their heels, and shuffle back and forth. We use imaginative play and interactive songs to keep the kids moving and engaged during class. The second half of this class is spent on tumbling skills. The kids are instructed on how to stretch properly and make sure their bodies are ready to tumble. Our main focus in tumbling is to master their forward and backward rolls, gain full body muscles, and understand the basics of controlling their body while it’s in the air. We have several different age groups for this style of class. Please visit our schedule for more information.

Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Contemporary, Jazz Funk, Acro, Modern, Adaptive, and combo classes

Our dance program is created to help build confidence that gives kids and adults a platform to dance like no one is watching. Our students are encouraged each class to reach for their goals and never give up.
