Sandi’s School of Dance

Dancers will work on ballet and tap skills: rhythm and musicality, choreography, weight shifting, technique, and more. We use Show Stars curriculum.

Tap is the fastest way to develop coordination and instill rhythm. It brings great satisfaction to children with high energy levels. Tap teaches a sense of tempo, timing, and counting.

This class is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, acting and dance with a Jazz basis. The story, movement, and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole.

Show Stars Lyrical is a fusion of ballet with jazz and contemporary dance techniques. Lyrical dancing is performed to music with lyrics to inspire movements to express strong emotions. Lyrical dancing focuses on the dancers' individual approach and expressiveness rather than the precision of their movements.

This class consists of stretch & strengthening, leaps & turns, and jazz technique. These disciplines are crucial for any dancer who wishes to excel in any style.

Our jazz and dance theater classes incorporate many styles like Broadway, Contemporary, L.A. Commercial, and more! Many drill teams and cheerleading squads perform jazz and students simply love it.
