Class Descriptions & Times


Class times and openings listed at the bottom.
COMBO ( Creative movement- J/B/T Jazz, Ballet, Tap) – For children three to six years of age, with little or no experience in dance. Class time includes a total of 45 minutes. Ballet and Tap shoes are required.  These classes are great for building social skills while focusing on developing gross motor skills, coordination, and rhythm. Children must be three years old by September 1st to enter the program.

BALLET – What separates the good dancers from the amazing ones? Ballet! Ballet!! It is the foundation of all dance. Correct postural alignment, flexibility, strength, proper technique and turn-out are all achieved through barre, center floor work, and traditional variations. Ballet also develops grace, poise, and beauty. Pointe and Pre-Pointe will be offered ONLY FROM RECOMMENDATION OF THE INSTRUCTOR.

JAZZ – Jazz dance is basically ballet with a punch! Jazz is as technical as ballet, but it is done mainly in a parallel position and with lots of different, powerful styles! Jazz is fun, stylistic and technical. All classes will cover various turns, leaps, and technical problems in an across the floor format.

LYRICAL – Is a fusion of ballet and jazz techniques.  Lyrical dance challenges choreographers and dancers to use emotion to interpret music and express emotion.  A lyrical dancer's movements attempt to show the meaning of the music.

MODERN - A style of theatrical dance that rejects the limitations of classical ballet and favors movement deriving from the expression of inner feeling.

TAP – Tap develops rhythm, coordination, timing, and musicality. Unlike jazz and ballet, tap focuses on the left side or the mathematical/logical side of the brain. Great for little ones! Standard time steps and soft-shoe styles to more complicated rhythmic steps are taught.

HIP-HOP – Hip Hop is a known “Street Dance” that is high energy, fast paced and non technical. It is choreographed to a funky beat.

COMPETITIVE DANCE TEAMS – Our teams will have the unique opportunity to bond as a team and progress together. Dancers treasure their relationships and gain experience that will last a life time. Teams start at a young age and progress to the college level, with the Emeralds, Sapphires, and Diamonds teams. Competitive teams travel to local and distant venues for competitions, performances, camps and conventions. Our teams and staff have been involved in Competition for many years. This is a great experience for parents and students alike. All members of the team will be required to take Ballet Technique as well as Jazz Technique in order to compete. NO EXCEPTIONS!  These students are chosen thru an audition process in the spring.
