Musical Theatre

is the class for the student who wants to be a “triple threat”. Dancing, acting, lip syncing, and singing will combine to catapult the student into Broadway culture. This class will assist the dancer while expressing themselves through the voice, body, and expression and promises to be one of the liveliest classes the studio offers. Starting with 2nd grade, there are two levels being offered. Students will be placed by the studio as to what level.

Hip Hop

is offered to students in kindergarten and up. This class will focus on the wide range of styles such as breaking, locking, popping, funk, and whacking. What separates hip hop from other styles of dance is its improvisational nature which will be used to bring self expression and warm sense of community among the students and teachers.

Stretch/Turns/Jumps

is designed for students with a desire to excel as a dancer in any genre. It will increase the student’s flexibility as well as improve upon more advanced turns and jump, and other tricks.

Pointe / Technique

To go en pointe, a student must have an understanding of and ability in ballet technique, strong ankles, solid alignment, and fully developed growth plates. This is also an excellent class for a student wanting more ballet technique, taking it in soft shoe.

Tap

is offered to students in Kindergarten and up. It will be a rhythmical journey through the many faces tap dance has to offer. It may consist of shuffling off to Buffalo – Broadway style, high kicking like the Rockettes, soft shoeing like Fred Astaire, or challenging the earthy sounds of the feet like Savion Glover. It promises to build intricate sounds, quick feet, rhythm, and a smile.

Contemporary

is open to students in 4th grade and up. It’s a luscious blend of movement. Taking movement patterns and ideas from ballet, lyrical, and modern dance, this class will encourage expression and full body engagement. We will dance on the horizontal, vertical, incorporate floor work, and tell stories through movement. We will play with dynamic quality and will take the student from moving to DANCING!

Ballet

is offered to students in Kindergarten and up. With a traditional base, this class will explore progression through barre work, adagio and allegro work, as well as across the floor and center floor combinations. It will concentrate on the dancer’s alignment, center of gravity, strength, and give each student a strong base for other dance genres.

Jazz

is offered to students in kindergarten and up. A great class to work on turns, leaps, and other tricks, it also will hone in on the rhythmical sense jazz dance has gained throughout the years. Isolations, syncopation, percussion, and full body incorporation will challenge the students, and to excel to new levels as dancers and performers.

Acrobatics

has a couple levels. Students will be placed in classes based on capability. Acro I is for students who have never taken acro, cannot get up from a backbend., or do a cartwheel on both sides. Intermediate/Advanced acro students will be working on balance/strength and control. This class will also work on tumbling. All work is done on floor and mats with the goal of using no mats for the show. This is a good foundational class for students wanting to excel in jazz, hip hop and contemporary technique classes. It focuses on strength, flexibility and makes the student more aware of how to control the body.

Pre-Dance

is offered to the child not yet in kindergarten. To participate in this class the student must be 4 years old by September 1st of this year. Pre-dance is a 45 minute class incorporating both tap and ballet. Classes are designed to teach both styles of dance, along with rhythm sticks, gross motor skills and singing.
