TURNS & LEAPS

TUMBLING

Tumbling class is the act, practice, or art of performing acrobatic tumbles, especially on a mat or on the ground.

TAP

Tap dance is a rhythmic dance done with small metal plates attached to the bottom of the dancer’s shoes that make a “tapping” sound when they touch a hard floor. Tap involves rhythmic patterns and percussion along with many technical moves.

STRETCH & STRENGTH

Flexibility can be improved with stretching exercises. While stretching does not increase your muscle strength, it is an important part of reducing injury risk and soreness that results from activity.

PRE-POINTE

To ensure aspiring ballerinas are ready for pointe, many schools require students to take pre-pointe, a class separate from regular ballet technique. The curriculum allows teachers ample time to help students build the strength and alignment necessary for pointe work. It also helps them assess readiness, which lessens the risk of injury once students are in their shoes.

POINTE

Pointe teaches students to learn to be able to get on a position on the extreme tips of the toes.

MUSICAL THEATER

LYRICAL/CONTEMPORARY

A style of contemporary, modern or jazz dance that has emerged from the fusion of one of those three types of dance with ballet and pop music (mainly). It combines simple choreographic vocabulary with technically difficult moves, in an expressive style that follows the lyrics of songs and is often interpreted in the short solo format.

JAZZ

HIP HOP

Hip hop is a high-energy form of dance that incorporates much individuality and rhythm into the executed movements. There is a lot of room for personal style and creativity to come through in hip hop, and it is much more diverse rather than structured when compared to most other varieties of dance.

HEEL & LEG

BALLROOM YOUTH

BALLROOM ADULT

BALLET

Ballet is a theatrical art form using dancing, music, and scenery to convey a story, theme, or atmosphere.
