INTRODUCTION TO DANCE

A 1 hour long class specifically designed for beginners. Students will have ballet for the first half hour of class each week, then alternate between tap and jazz every other week. We offer Intro to Dance 1 (Teeny Weenies) for those with a year or less dance experience, and Intro to Dance 2 (Teeny Tinies) for those who’ve had more than one year of dance.

HIP HOP

A class in which students will be introduced to the concepts of freestyle/street dance. Dance experience is not necessary but is helpful. Students must be at least 6 years old to enroll. We have a Junior Hip Hop class for ages 6 - 10, Teen Hip Hop class for 11 - 14 and a Senior Hip Hop class for ages 15 - 18.

BALLET

A class in which students will learn the Cecchetti method of ballet. Classes consist of barre work and floor work. Students will learn the ballet terms and proper technique of this elegant style of dance.

POINTE

Another form of ballet in which students wear specially made shoes to stand on their toes. This class is only offered to advanced students ages 11 and up. It is the teacher’s discretion if a student is ready for pointe or not. One must have strong feet and ankles to participate.

TAP

A style of dance in which the rhythm is sounded out by the clicking taps on the heels and toes of a dancer's shoes. Students will learn how to project different rhythms of the tap technique.

JAZZ

This class consists of a warm up, stretching, and across the floor exercises. Emphasis continues to be placed on proper body placement and proper usage of the muscles. Students focus upon achieving maximum flexibility, body isolations, turns, kicks, leaps and jumps. The wide array of jazz styles is introduced in this class.

NOTE, As students complete each dance year, their placement in the next class level is determined by their progress over the current year and their having mastered the skills presented to them in the current level.
