Proper technical execution takes a lot of practice. Technique classes at BDS utilize repetition to build strength and muscle memory for skills and exciting tricks. A full warm-up along with conditioning exercises prepares dancers for the challenging classwork across the floor and in the center. Many of the principles that dancers learn in ballet class are reinforced in a Jumps & Turns or Technique class. Balance instructors enjoy connecting the dots between ballet tradition and jazz/contemporary repertoire. Dancers will gain a deeper understanding of all the integral parts of the body that work together to create beautiful extensions, turns, and leaps. Each teacher may have different themes that they focus on their technique classes, but all of the class material stems from the BDS ballet and jazz syllabi. It’s important for dancers to be fit and well-conditioned while they build their skill set. Enrolling your dancer in a technique class gives them an opportunity to tune their body, prevent injury, and polish their execution.

This style of dance is fun, energetic, and full of entertainment value. The genre has many commercial applications in the dance industry and has been dazzling audiences since the early 1900s. Jazz dance has roots in ballet, modern, acrobatics, African rhythm, salsa, and flamenco. Jazz dance is categorized by clarity, precision, and exuberance. We begin each class with a warm-up exercising muscles and joints to increase strength and mobility. Dancers will work to find balance by using their central core and practice coordination techniques/ isolations. Progressions across the floor are used to hone skills in transitions, footwork, turns, extensions, jumps, leaps, floor work etc. Most jazz classes culminate in a center combination that pushes the dancers to move sharply, swiftly, and with musical interpretation.

This is a class that stresses precision and strength while emphasizing the beauty of a traditional art form. Pointe shoes enhance the dancer’s grace, beauty, and lines for an ethereal aesthetic of floating across the stage. Dancers who have completed their pre-pointe class will then be enrolled in a pointe class where they will work year-round in their pointe shoes. Pointe work requires major physical strength and commitment from each dancer. Dancers will work both at the barre and in the center to strive to execute all ballet steps en pointe, from tendus to fouettes.

This class is geared for dancers who are ready for the transition into pointe shoes. Dancing en pointe should be considered a privilege, the reward for hard work in ballet technique. This is such an exciting time for dancers, but it is essential that we take great care in this transition to avoid injury. Dancers will be approved individually for this class which is structured to strengthen dancers in the first half of the year and allow them to begin working in pointe shoes the second. The first part of the class focuses on gaining strength and knowledge of the feet, legs, and abdominals in order to support the dancer’s body weight en pointe. Dancers will also learn anatomy as well as parts of the pointe shoe all in preparation for attaining their shoes mid-way through the year. Once they have received their shoes dancers will work en pointe at the barre continuing to gain strength in their shoes.

Acro incorporates strength, flexibility and trick (gymnastics) vocabulary in classes leveled 1-5. Students must continue to build muscle and flexibility in order to master more advanced tricks and tumbling, so body conditioning is always prominent in classes.
