Class Descriptions        ▲Top

Ballet- The foundation for all dance. Ballet teaches grace, self expression, proper body placement, body control and the look of effortless grace. We teach a combination of French and Cechetti ballet. Our classes offer a variety of adage and allegro, so the dancers can be versatile. Ballet is the technical backbone for all genres of dance. We highly recommend ballet for all dancers. 

Tap-The instrument is you feet. A large focus is on timing and developing rhythms. We teach classical tap as well as the newer rhythm tap (Stomp influenced). Tap is a great to learn musicality and to make melodies with your own feet. 

Jazz-Jazz is the culmination of theater, ballet, and modern. Jazz dance teaches technique in pirouettes, traveling steps, leaps, and core body movement. Jazz also works on flexibility, endurance, and strength. Ballet is strongly recommended for anyone interested in Jazz 

Hip Hop- Hip Hop combines the newest moves in street dancing as well as what you would see in music videos.  A high energy class and a great aerobic workout. We incorporate new styles of hip hop with the old. 

Lyrical- An offspring of ballet, lyrical dancing conveys a message with the music. The movement is fluid and controlled. An emotion or story is told through the body movement, a large focus is on working your core. Students must have a ballet background.

Modern/Abstract-Modern dance is routed from ballet but involves self expression and more off centered movements. The emphasis is on body control, connecting movements, and body lines. Students must have a ballet background.

 Storybook Theater- A great introduction to acting for the little ones. A story is read and the students act the story out and the emotions they would feel. A great class to let the imagination wander. 

Pilates- A great class to build full body strength and tone muscles. Pilates works on developing flexibility, breathing properly while exercising and maintaining a fit healthy body. Pilates is great everyone and results are seen immediately. 

Turns & Leaps-This class focuses on proper technique for a wide variety of turns used in Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Lyrical and Tap. We work on controlling turns and leaps and the transitions to get into them. An emphasis is also put on stretching to extend the lines of leaps and turns. A must class for the intermediate to advanced dancer, you will see much improvement.

Irish- We offer the hard shoe version of Irish step dancing. Irish is similar to tap but the emphasis is on proper foot placement and building interesting rhythms with the feet. Irish was made popular by “Lord of the Dance” and “Riverdance”.

Ballroom- We hope to offer a 6 week ball room session again bringing you back to the 20's, 30's, 40's.
