The Homeschool Dance Academy

Our Tap Classes introduce students to rhythm in the most exciting ways – who doesn’t want to make noise with their feet? Our tap program focuses on proper technique by laying a solid foundation from the very beginning with rhythm, weight changes, basic sounds and steps. Each class works on fundamental technique at the beginning of class and then adds progressively harder steps/combinations, improvisation, turns, choreography, and performance skills.

In our beginning ballet classes (Pre-Ballet – Ballet 1) we lay the foundation for the technique taught in our higher level ballet classes. We emphasize strength, coordination, and posture through movement based combinations. Your students will gain an appreciation for the art and etiquette of ballet, find new friendships, and develop a love of dance.

Our Ballet Technique classes build strength by learning a set barre routine. Practicing a set barre allows the students to focus on strength and connectivity – new combinations are added throughout the semester as students progress. The strength and technique developed at the barre provides a foundation for all of our center work and choreography. We start preparing students for pointe work in Ballet 3. Students will be evaluated and approved to start pointe work when they demonstrate the correct technique and strength required for pointe. Students stay in each level for at least 2-3 years before advancing into the next class.

Adult classes are a fantastic opportunity to start or refresh your dance skills. Everyone is welcome – no matter the skill level. Dance is fun exercise, and a challenge, so you’ll really understand how hard your dancers are working.

This class is important for dancers wanting to move into Ballet 4 in the future
