Classes

Triple Threat

This class is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance. The story and emotional content of a musical – humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through the words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole. Musical vocal coaching throughout the year also.

Silks

Aerial silks is an exciting class that utilizes the silk apparatus! Movers will learn different poses and skills on the silk while growing in their strength, flexibility, and balance.

Acro (Level 1-6)

A style of dance that combines classical dance technique with precision acrobatic elements! Our instructors are trained in the Acrobatic Arts syllabus that encompasses acro anatomy, technique, progressions, lesson planning, choreography, and more.

Broadway Jazz

Merging theatrics and jazz dance technique, this class is full of fun! Dancers will learn basic jazz technique including rhythm, isolation, and expression while getting a taste of Broadway choreography and songs. This class is recommended for our students who also take Triple Threat.

Stretch & Strengthening (Beginner-Advanced)

This class is designed to improve a dancer's range of motion, enhance muscle flexibility and increase their level of core muscle strength. Through a variety of stretches and strengthening exercises, dancers will also increase their awareness of their own body's potential as it connects to expression through movement.

Tap (Beginner-Advanced)

Classes emphasize the development and strengthening of basic tap technique and terminology highlighting the importance of rhythm and sound. Tap focuses on rhythms and intricate footwork, creating a percussion instrument out of the dancer’s feet.

Hip Hop (Level 1-6)

A structured form of street dance often found in music videos, designed to teach coordination, strength, quickness, agility and endurance accompanied with popular R&B and jazz music.

Modern (Level 3-6)

Modern dance is a contemporary dance form that has its roots in ballet. It emphasizes the use of the floor for centering and grounding oneself in movement. This class focuses on the breath (inhale/exhale), which brings quality to one’s movement.

Contemporary (Level 3-6)

Contemporary dance is the exploration of the total movement potential of the body. It differs from commercial or competitive dance in that it is not bound by set standards, as well as defined styles such as ballet or Jazz dance. Instead, it seeks to express a personalized vision, often through experimentation and collaboration for the development of new, more individualized approaches to the moving body and choreographic possibilities.

Lyrical (Level 1-2)

Lyrical is a fusion of ballet with jazz and contemporary techniques. It emphasizes interpretation of music lyrics while telling a story with movement that can be fluid or abstract. The dancer is taught to interpret his or her movement with feeling, motion and style. They will learn to tell a story or create the picture of the song. This style combines the fluid beauty of ballet with the more sharp moves in jazz

Jazz (Level 1-6)

An exciting and ever evolving dance form full of rhythm, syncopation, passion and life. Steeped in the rhythm of jazz music, a true American art form, jazz dance brings energy and life to all those who dance it. Classes explore body isolations of the head, shoulders, ribcage, feet and arms and encourage individual expression and the development of personal style.

Pointe (Beginner-Advanced)

Utilization of pointe shoes is an exciting accomplishment for dancers! Pointe class teaches dancers how to utilize pointe shoes in their technique. Pointe work requires the dancer to stand with the tips of the toes fully extended while executing movement. Dancers will learn what is necessary both technically and artistically for pointe work, focusing on strength building and articulation of the feet. Pointe technique can be utilized in classical ballet, neo-classical ballet, and contemporary techniques. Any dancer desiring to participate in pointe class will be considered based on age, strength, experience, and alignment.

Pre-pointe

Pre-Pointe classes are a prerequisite to pointe classes. This class is designed as preparation for dancers who are expected to progress to pointe work. Dancers will execute technique designed for strengthening the legs, ankles, and feet. Correct alignment, joint stability, core strength and understanding of pointe shoes will be taught. Malalignments of the body will be addressed in order for the dancer to properly be prepared for pointe work. Dancers must be in level IIB ballet technique to begin pre-pointe.

Ballet (Level 1-6)

Ballet is the classical dance form that can be mastered by itself or used as a technical base or supplement to other dance forms. Classes focus on overall body alignment and awareness with emphasis on proper usage of feet and legs and execution of turnout. Carriage and usage of upper torso and arms are also stressed. Traditional barre work, center work and combinations are included in all classes.
