Class Descriptions
At this age students have many class options to choose from and are ready to learn more skills and technique than in the intro level classes. These classes will typically include a warmup, technique drills, and choreography. Some classes are geared toward the beginner student while others require some previous dance experience.
Ballet
Ballet is one of the classical styles of dance and the foundation for many other styles. Dancers will focus on proper alignment, vocabulary, and strengthening exercises: at the barre, in the center, and across the floor. They will learn to move with grace as they become stronger, more flexible, and confident dancers.
Tap & Jazz
Our tap class is all about rhythm, coordination, and musicality. Dancers will learn tap terminology and proper technique while becoming great rhythm-makers! This technique is essential to the development of well-rounded, musical dancers.
Jazz, like ballet, is a classical dance style rooted in technique. In this class dancers will be exposed to many different styles of jazz and will learn proper technique and how to move with power and precision.
Hip Hop
Hip Hop is a broad genre of dance which includes locking, breaking, and popping, among other techniques. In this class dancers will learn some of the fundamentals of hip hop dance as well as creative, high-energy choreography.
Modern, Lyrical, Contemporary
Modern dance classes follow a specific technique much in the same way that ballet does. There are many different modern techniques and we focus on Horton, which emphasizes strength, balance, and grace
Lyrical is a descendant of jazz and calls upon ballet technique and artistry to tell a story or convey a feeling. As the name implies, lyrical dance is movement tied to the lyrics and intention of the music.
Musical Theater
Musical Theater is a genre of jazz dance that emphasizes acting and storytelling within the dance. Performance pieces for this class are typically from from Broadway musicals or movie musicals.
Acro & Tumbling (when available)
This is an athletic skill building class for dancers who want to increase strength, balance, and flexibility. Students will learn the fundamentals of acrobatic/tumbling skills for dance.
