We strive to preserve the heritage of clogging and build contemporary clogging skills by taking a modern approach to the traditional style of clogging. We incorporate jazz, hip-hop, and challenging rhythmic artistic elements into our clogging style.

Tap dance uses sounds of metal taps affixed to the heel and toe of shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. These classes focus on exercises to increase control, coordination, and rhythm.

From forward rolls to backhand springs and tucks, the student learns the fundamentals of gymnastics, tumbling and acrobatics to use in cheer and dance. These classes are for floor work only, and we do not use bars and beams, etc.

Contemporary classes are an expressive style of dance that combines elements of jazz, lyrical, ballet and modern.

This form of dance is based off of the high energy street dancing using today’s popular hip-hop and pop music. Great for building stamina.

Lyrical is a style of Dance that combines ballet and jazz techniques. It is performed to music with lyrics so that it encourages the expression of emotions.

Our jazz classes are designed to focus on traditional and commercial jazz. They build strength, flexibility, and coordination, while developing confidence, musicality, and strength. It is recommended to take with a ballet class or a stretch turn and jump class.

Classical ballet classes gives students detailed knowledge of technique, alignment, terminology, musicality, and artistry. As the student progresses, they can advance to pointe work, which is determined at the teachers discretion.
