BALLET

(ages 6+) All ballet classes are taught in a classical manner, combining Vaganova (Russian), French, and Cechetti (Italian) Styles. We stress correct terminology, body placement, body direction, proper technique and controlled stretching. As ballet is the foundation on all dance forms, it is strongly encouraged for all serious students. All elements of barre, center adagio & allegro, and across the floor are worked weekly.

​

POINTE (age 11+)

A student should not begin pointe until they are quite accomplished in ballet, as pointe is only an extension on ballet. Children should not begin pointe until their bone and muscle structures have been fully developed and strengthened (not before 11 or 12 years of age and with a minimum of 2 years training), as this can cause permanent damage to the entire skeletal system.

​

MODERN

Modern dance is a form of dance that relies on movement that is more natural and organic for the body. In this class students will explore the techniques of Martha Graham, Lester Horton and Jose Limon. Dancers will experiment with movement principals such as fall and recovery, contraction and release and lateral movement. The students will begin to push the limits of their technique by discovering new ways of using music and sound to intensify the emotion in their movement.

​

​TAP (ages 6+)

The Drum Beat of Dance - All tap classes are taught on the balls of the feet, with proper ankle technique, to develop rhythm, style and grace, while working towards our aim of speed and clarity. Exciting progressions and combinations are taught weekly for memory and performance skills.

​

​JAZZ (ages 6+)

A combination of MTV, Hip Hop, Broadway and Hollywood, taught to todays popular music. Classes offer proper technique, stretching, terminology, and incorporate ballet technique to develop a strong jazz foundation. Exciting warm-up on barre, center, isolations, down floor progressions and dynamic combinations are taught weekly for memory, performance skills and fun.

​

​LYRICAL (age 8+)
