Tap

Tap is a style of American dance involving percussive footwork and rhythms. Our tap classes stress the basics of tap (shuffle, dig, scuff, chug, etc.) while teaching musicality and rhythm. Try tap for fun and fitness. Our classes range from 3 years to adult with many different experience levels.

Jazz

Jazz dance combines many styles and techniques, from ethnic and contemporary dance to ballet. Our jazz classes teach basic jazz dance combinations, terminology and style with an emphasis on proper technique, alignment and movement quality. These classes are great for all ages and are great fun too!

Hip Hop

Get in tune with the basics of hip hop culture, music and movement in Spotlight Vermont’s hip hop classes. These classes start at eight years old and grow with the dancer into high school. Our hip hop classes are geared toward teaching students basic hip hop steps, beats, and rhythms such as poppin’, locking, and breaking, as well as freestyle movement.

Contemporary/Lyrical/Modern

Spotlight Vermont offers a range of contemporary, lyrical, and modern classes. These classes start at age seven following into adulthood. Contemporary and Modern dance are great additions to a dancer’s skillset because they go far beyond physical technique, exploring freedom of expression, interpretation of music, principles of fall and recovery, control, breathing, balance and contraction/release. Lyrical dancers find themselves leaning on their ballet and jazz technique but with a twist, allowing them to move with emotion in telling a story.

NYC Jazz

NYC or Broadway-style jazz teaches choreography and show-stopping stage presence. With a focus on learning song-and-dance numbers from various musical productions, past and present, Broadway or NYC Jazz is an excellent class for students interested in Musical Theater.

Ballet/Pointe

Ballet classes at Spotlight Vermont range from beginning ballet technique through pointe and variations for the more advanced ballet dancer. Each class starts with barre exercises followed by center and ballet combinations. Ballet is the foundation of almost all modern-day dance disciplines. Our instructors will be able to help you or your dancer choose a suitable ballet class for your level and experience.
