Creative Movement: A beginning class for very young children, based on song and dance, this 40 minute class introduces the very first basic steps in the ballet vocabulary, and provides an introduction to tap in the Spring.
Ballet & Tap Combo: The next progression for young dancers, this 1-hour class teaches both ballet fundamentals and basic tap rhythms.
Ballet, Jazz, & Tap Combo: Moving to the next level of advancement, this 2 to 2.5-hour (depending on a child’s age and previous dance experience) class builds the basic steps learned in ballet and tap into combinations, and adds in jazz dance.
Hip Hop: This 45 minute class is great for both experienced and inexperienced dancers (no previous dance background is required). Students learn movement that has a much more natural, “street” feeling. The class is just good fun!
Ballet: As the dancers become more advanced, ballet becomes its own 1-hour class. The style we teach is contemporary, with a Balanchine influence – clean technique, graceful movements, agility, and emotion.
Ballet Technique: This 1.5 hour class helps to strengthen dancers by focusing on technical proficiency. Dancers have the opportunity to advance and perfect their body alignment, flexibility, and focus. This class does not perform a dance in the recital.
Jazz: Progressing to the full 1-hour, these classes are also more contemporary, introducing popular video dance to broadway styles of jazz movement.
Tap: This 45 minute or 1 hour class incorporates tapping with a jazzy movement style, using musical & harmonious rhythms.
Contemporary/Modern: Only available for our older, more developed dancers, this 1-hour class uses a lyrical, ballet-influenced modern movement repertory that produces a very physical dance which includes floor work, complex footwork, and flight.
