Class Descriptions

We fully believe that we have best teaching talent available!  Our teachers are consistently looking at what is "in" and new on the field while maintaining the fundamentals and technique of each dance style.

    Ages 3-4 yrs

  • Combo I & II

    This class will introduce your dancer to both tap and ballet.

    Ages 5-8 years

  • Ballet

    All dance technique comes from the classical training and exercises you learn in ballet.  We consider ballet a fundamental building block of any dance education.  Ballet not only strengthens and tones but it also builds character and teaches dancers discipline through each movement.

    Ages 6 yrs old and up.

  • Pre-Pointe/Pointe

    Every ballet dancer dreams of the day they will be able to dance en pointe.  This class builds ankle strength and requires the use of toe shoes.

    **By Audition Only.

  • Contemporary

    

    Contemporary is a form of dance influenced by both classical ballet, modern and jazz dance.  The technique used in this art form originates from classical ballet, although it permits a greater range of movement that may not adhere to the strict body lines set forth by ballet technique. Classes focus on teaching dancers about body & core strength, creative expression, musical timing, facial expression and telling a story through movement.

    **Must take additional Ballet classes or have previous Ballet experience to participate.

     

    Ages 7 yrs and up.

  • Rhythmic Gymnastics

    Rhythmic Gymnastics is a great fusion of ballet, dance, and art intertwined with gymnastics. Rhythmic Gymnastics combines graceful body movements with music and dance while sometimes using ribbons, ropes, and hoops in a choreographed dance and tumble schedule. Rhythmic Gymnastics tests the power, rhythmic, agility, flexibility and balance of all girls. This Rhythmic Gymnastics requires lot of meditation, confidence, attitude and most importantly a lot of practice.

  • Jazz

    A class that will teach your dancer basic Jazz steps while learning stage presence and coordination.  We teach a wide variety of styles including but not limited to Broadway, Modern, and Competitive.

    Ages 6 yrs old and up.

  • Hip-Hop

    Hip-Hop classes offer a structured form of street dance often found in music videos and movies such as Step Up and High School Musical. It is designed to teach your dancer coordination, strength, quickness, agility and endurance. We also suggest, but do not require, that you take ballet as well to further your hip-hop abilities.

    Ages 4 yrs and up.

    This is a high energy class that will instill proper technique of making sounds with your feet.  Tap is excellent at creating coordination and teaching balance while learning fun fast paced rhythms and beats.

    The Stretch and Conditioning segment improves the dancer's balance, movement and flexibility through a 30 minute session of core exercises and deep stretching.  During Leaps & Turns the dancers are taught all of the extra tips and tricks to perfecting advanced movements such as switch leaps and fouette turns.
