Learn to Speak the Many Languages of Dance

Ballet & Lyrical
Each dancer will learn posture, technique, balance, strength, body placement, flexibility, positions of feet, arms, head and body through classical ballet. Classes will also cover barre, center work and across the floor progressions. Dancers will also learn lyrical ballet which teaches the student to express emotion through movement.


Tap
Tap is a dance step tapped out audibly with the feet. Students will learn different types of tap, the correct terminology, counts and rhythms while increasing coordination. This lively, rhythmic tapping makes the performer not just a dancer but a percussive musician.

Pre school-Ballet
Pre-ballet starts as early as the age of 2.9 by September and potty-trained and is for the pre-school ages. This class introduces ballet in a fun way to the little ballerina through the fundamentals of beginner dance and basics of ballet.


Jazz & Hip-Hop
Students who desire a flair for the modern will gain knowledge and skill in different styles of jazz & hip-hop dance.  This class requires a lot of strength and coordination.


Pointe
Offered only with permission of Miss Nicole. Students must have a significant amount of ballet experience.


Technique*
This class places great emphasis on the method and execution of movement in ballet and jazz. Dancers will learn the names, meanings and precise technique of each movement they learn. Emphasis is placed on building strength in the legs and upper body, and developing flexibility.

With this additional day of dance instruction one day a week, students will have a rock solid foundation upon which to build their skills, making them stronger, better dancers.

*This class is optional for all dancers at least seven years of age, and mandatory for any competition class.

Class Design
Classes begin in September. From September through December, students will learn proper technique in each disciplined area along with different combinations. From January through May, students will continue to learn new steps, working towards learning choreographed dances for their year end showcase in late May early June
