Jazz is a highly expressive and unique genre of dance. It enables dancers to show off their style and originality. Jazz dance is an energetic way to highlight turns, leaps and fancy footwork. To excel in jazz, dancers need a strong foundation in ballet, as it focuses on grace and balance.

This class is a great way for dancers to work on performance skills, stage presence, and confidence. A variety of genres will be used to assist dancers in finding their niche. This is a great class for any dancer considering team tryouts, college dance teams, or other performance groups in their future.

This class will explore the art of storytelling through dance. While incorporating the foundational techniques of ballet, dancers will create new lines and complex movements to expand their capabilities and skill sets.

Tap dance is a unique style using quick and rhythmic footwork. Tap dancers wear shoes equipped with metal plates on the toe and heel of the shoe. Tapping, sliding and clicking are some of the ways percussive rhythms are created.

Pointe is an extension of ballet technique, where a dancer uses special shoes called pointe or toe shoes. These shoes aid in supporting the body on the tips of fully extended feet. At Sole Expressions we offer pre-pointe work during our Level Five Ballet class. This portion of class focuses on correct body placement, strength, and technique for those dancers working toward earning their pointe shoes. Pointe shoes are earned by teacher recommendation considering their health and safety as top priority. At Sole Expressions we offer Pointe to those students who have earned their pointe shoes.
