Reflections of Grace Performing Arts School

In these classes, students take a ballet and a jazz class combined for a discounted rate. Ballet classes incorporate posture, flexibility, barre technique, across-the-floor, and center-floor movements. Jazz classes incorporate a variety of movements including, flexibility, strength and conditioning, and different dance techniques. Each class will learn a choreographed dance number for the corresponding recital.

Lyrical dance is a combination of ballet and jazz dance that often uses music with lyrics to inspire the movements and emotions of the dancer. It’s like ballet without the rules!

In ballet classes, students are encouraged to practice fine motor skills, posture, balance, flexibility, and combinations/technique of barre, across-the-floor, and center-floor movements.

Little Ones Classes include an introduction to movement that is creative, fun, educational, and musical. Within these classes students engage gross motor skills while dancing to themed music, boys are also encouraged to join.

This program focuses on the opportunity to train and mentor specifically our 30-50 pre-teen and teen students. We give them leadership positions meant to develop their confidence, teach life skills, and encourage their character development. We are aware of the pressure these students are under and want them to have a safe place to talk and feel supported.

This program promotes and models community service to our 20-30 dancers. We serve our community using the vehicle of dance at over 10 nursing/assisted living homes, 8 churches, 6 schools, and 10 businesses in Oshkosh and surrounding communities.

This program incorporates inclusive, adaptive, and integrated dance classes designed for people in the ID/DD population, including children and adults. Classes are designed to improve physical strength and balance while increasing range of motion, strength, and coordination.

This program offers technical dance training to 60-80 young children, pre-teens, teens, and adults a year. We encourage modest dress, appropriate movement, and clean music. It equips, models, and teaches character development and promotes the focus on students well being above performance. We desire that our dancers feel loved, encouraged, and safe.
