These fun, upbeat classes are designed for adults who wish to connect and enjoy the art of dance. All skill levels are welcome.

For our older dancers. Contemporary merges elements of ballet, jazz, lyrical and modern into a very grounded, unique style of dance. Although movement is often fluid, contemporary is also characterized by quirky, off-balance moves that typically require a lot of floor work. Contemporary classes develop body-awareness and expression of movement while dancers explore their own movement thru choreography and/or improvisation.

Lyrical is a fusion of ballet and jazz dance techniques. Dancers learn how to interpret the lyrics of the song through movement and expression of emotions, developing proper technique and flexibility. This style is a great addition to a jazz or ballet class.

Hip hop is a class that infuses many styles of street dancing, breaking, popping and locking. Dancers work to develop strength, stamina, balance and coordination to successfully perform moves and skills. We believe in the fundamentals of hip hop using age-appropriate movements and music.
