This is a beautiful fusion of ballet and modern dance was originally popularized by the idea of breaking the lines, poise, and fluidity that Classical Ballet demands while maintaining the same level of grace and strength in movement. Our Contemporary classes combines the balancing, imagery, isolations, fall and recovery of Modern Dance as well as the expressive nature of Lyrical Dance.

POINTE

Pointe training is the beginning of advanced level Classical Ballet requiring dancers to wear special "Pointe" shoes that enables the dancer to dance on the tips of their toes. Pointe training is for serious dancers that display both the physical capability and technique. A doctors approval may be required to clear dancers for Pointe. Dancers under 12 will not be allowed to advanced to Pointe regardless of technical ability; this is due to the underdevelopment of the bones in a dancers foot rendering them unfit to dance en Pointe without risk of serious or permanent injury.

Our curriculum is focused on Classical Ballet techniques teaching balance, posture, articulation, poise, flexibility, coordination, timing, musicality, jumps, turns, and leaps.
