Available Classes

Check with your teacher for shoe requirements.

Ballet

 Classical ballet technique will be focused on in each level of class. Positions, barre, center work, adagio, and allegro combinations will be worked on in class, building upon basic technique and advancing with each level of class.

 

Tap

 Basic tap technique will be taught and used in combinations and dances during the year. Each class will focus on basic steps and choreography with styles as diverse as Broadway and funk. 



Jazz

Each class is taught with the most current music and dance styles. Flexibility and strength are focused on during warm-ups, and combinations vary each week in order to increase a full knowledge of all jazz styles. 

Hip Hop

 The most urban styles of hip hop are taught in each class. Always changing, hip hop is less technique and more "attitude" compared to a traditional jazz class. 



Performance Skills

Whether you're preparing for college dance teams or simply want to dance with more impact and personality, this class will help you build the tools to stand out with confidence.

Each session blends multiple dance styles and focuses on the core elements of performance: Expression, storytelling, musicality, and connection with the audience. You'll explore choreography while honing your performance skills while becoming a more captivating and confident performer.
