Full Year (Sept-Jun) Classes

This Ballet based class introduces a formally structured dance setting while encouraging the imaginative play that preschoolers desire. Beginner music and dance concepts such as body identification and spatial awareness are applied through the use of learning props. This is a great opportunity for children to explore creativity with their peers and it often is the first introduction to a lifelong love of dance!

This high energy class introduces basic Jazz dance concepts in a structured class format. Children will learn body identification, spatial awareness, listening skills, and have an opportunity to express themselves through movement games and prop accompaniment.

Acro(batics) for dancers! This class teaches basic gymnastics principles that weave their way into dance choreography. We follow the Acrobatic Arts syllabus, and teach exercises that focus on strength training, flexibility, and balance. Dancers are able to work as a group and also on their own personal goals.

Ballet is the foundation of all dance. If your dancer takes but one class, let this be it! All dance styles stem from ballet technique and the mental and physical benefits developed from training in this style are unmatched; discipline, grace, muscle strength from the inside out, posture, etc. In traditional format, all Ballet classes include work beginning at the barre and progressing to center and traveling exercises. Once a certain age and level are reached, pointe work will be offered to ready students.

The most rhythmic form of dance. Special shoes are worn to sound out beats and rhythms. Tap dance develops musicality skills that are necessary for all dancers. Much like a Ballet class, exercises are performed at the barre, center, and traveling across the floor.

Jazz dance encompasses a little bit of everything. It draws from Ballet concepts and adds its own flair ranging in styles from African to Musical Theatre to Funk. In addition to center work that develops a strong core and correct body alignment, technique classes incorporate leaps, turns, and various style elements.

Hip Hop has gained widespread popularity over the years thanks to pop culture and because it is FUN! As with all classes, age appropriate music and themes are explored. In addition to learning specialized Hip Hop techniques (breakdance, pop and lock, etc.) classes incorporate Jazz exercises throughout to reinforce classic dance principles.

This style of dance fuses classical technique with an opportunity to express oneself to the lyrics of the music. It is a wonderful introduction to Contemporary dance.

Possibly the most popular style of dance amongst advanced dancers, Contemporary dance is a fusion of different styles used to express abstract ideas. It draws from classical techniques and then allows for artistic expression to change and distort movement into something totally unique.
