Street Dance” or what has evolved… performed to hip-hop music and what has evolved from “Hip-hop culture”.

A style of dance that merges together Ballet, Jazz and Contemporary techniques and is performed to music to inspire movements to express strong emotions. It focuses on expression and individual approach and the synthesis of the dancer, the choreographer, the music and what all forms of dance may bring to a piece of work.

Modern movements, current music and a great workout are the cornerstones to jazz, allowing individuals to express their own personal style and flair.

“America’s original art form” will be explored by stressing rhythm, style, and coordination, using several different types of music including many Big Band and Broadway songs.

A more structured class which stresses French terminology, correct placement and alignment, strength, muscularity and grace. Barre exercises and center floor work will be taught. Pointe classes are available for students after they have studied classical ballet for 3 years.

A lively and creative introduction to dance designed to develop poise, grace, rhythmic skills and basic coordination.
