Marianne Kelley's School of Dance

Learn how to do a classical ballet bun, and teach your child at the appropriate age/maturity level. Loose hair is not acceptable in this environment, and certainly not onstage.

When a dancer takes the stage, their movements are magnified, much like the distractions around them. For the performers, it will take practice to learn how to tune out all distractions, and focus on their task of executing choreographed dance movements.

Are you hosting an event and looking for a fun way to entertain your guests? Bring us in to teach a group class in any style: Ballroom, Hip hop, Ballet, and more!

Bring your employees, team members, clients, or troupes together to have some fun in the dance studio or at your location. We can offer group instruction to suit your needs.

Bride/Groom dance – surprise your guests with a choreographed dance that will leave them smiling as you share the special moment with your spouse. Other Wedding Dance services include: Father/Daughter, Mother/Son, Groomsmen and Bridesmaid dances.

We will custom make a dance routine or class for your special event, no experience required!

Up on your toes! Pointe is a serious ballet style that must be approved. It is typical to begin in middle school after 3 years of dance, minimum.

Hip hop classes explore rhythm, movement, isolations, and choreography for all ages.

Much like Lyrical, Contemporary uses components from ballet and modern to create a style of it’s own. Stretches, conditioning and balance are important pieces of this class. Some elements of Contemporary dance include improvisation (dancer instigates movement) as well.

Our broadway classes combine tap and musical theater to leave your child feeling like they just stepped off the stage in NYC!

Upbeat, fun class that uses technical components such as use of the floor, distribution of weight, body isolations, to create rhythmic movement.

Lyrical dance combines the fundamentals of ballet and modern dance to explore expression in dance with inspiration from lyrics in songs. Lyrical dance is done in bare feet.

A combination class provides instruction in both ballet and jazz, so students will need to bring both kinds of shoes and will switch out halfway through. Fundamentals of jazz dance involve isolations in the shoulders, ribs, and hips, with introductory jazz vocabulary taught such as Jazz Square, Lindy Hop, and Grapevine.

Ballet for these ages will continue teaching steps of this style. Plie’, Tendu’, Jete’… did you know ballet terms are in French? Your child won’t come out of this class fluent in French, but they will learn that Glissade means “to glide”!

The perfect start! The age-appropriate movement that will introduce your child to ballet. Basic ballet vocabulary, stretches, jumps, and of course… FUN!
