TINY TAPPERS

Tap class for our youngest dancers age 3+

Tap

Tap focuses on musical phrasing, the complexity of rhythms and on the challenge of making melodies with the feet.

Jazz

Jazz is an American dance form which evolves and changes. Students work on placement and technique while learning modern and contemporary jazz styles. The class consists of warm-ups, floor progressions and combinations.

Contemporary

Modern dance is usually a lyrical and poetic way of moving, which evolved as dancers found the need to break away from the rigidity of Classical Ballet and express themselves using a more free style. Modern Dance is characterized by its bending of the spine into spirals and contractions as well as the use of off center movement such as tilts and layouts. It lends itself to various types of music and is traditionally danced barefoot.

PROGRESSING BALLET TECHNIQUE (PBT)

PBT is a program developed to help students advance in all dance forms by training muscle memory. PBT focuses on core stability, weight placement and alignment. PBT is practiced internationally.

Pointe

Pointe requires a solid foundation of advanced ballet technique. The Director determines when a student is technically and physically capable of beginning pointe work.

TINY DANCERS

Ballet class for our youngest dancers age 3+

Ballet

Ballet is the basic foundation of all dance forms. It teaches proper placement, carriage, grace & poise. Barre exercises develop strength and flexibility while center work allows students to practice classic dance principles. Ballet is a beautiful and athletic dance form.
