DANCE PROGRAMS


Mommy & Me
For ages (1 1/2 - 2 1/2), this 30 minute class is geared toward the little one that wants to dance with mommy in class. This is a great way to let your child explore their creative side. These are ballet based classes with tap added at the end. The teacher guides the student to learn in a way that makes discovering, balance and listening skills easy and fun. Mommies, wear comfortable shoes and get ready to move with your little dancer!

Ballet/Tap (Preschool Dance)  
Our preschool dance programs are divided by age: (2-3), (3-4), (4-5) & (5-6).  These are ballet based classes with tap added at the end. The teacher guides the student to learn in a way that makes discovering movement, balance and listening skills easy and fun.  By the end of the year the students will memorize simple exercises and sequences, and learn vocabulary that will prepare them for classes taken in the years to come.

Hip Hop Jr.

Your child will learn to count music, memorize dance steps, and will learn fun choreography to age appropriate and popular music. Join this class to learn the latest dance moves!

Ballet
Ballet is the fundamental of dance technique as it develops grace, flexibility, strength and balance. We recommend taking ballet by its self or as an added fundamental class weekly to support any other dance style like jazz tap or hip hop, even gymnastics and ice skating.  Ballet students at this age are required to wear appropriate attire (black leotard, pink tights with any color optional skirt and wear their hair in a clean bun).

{ Ballet I (6-9) and Beg. Ballet (Adult/ Teen/ Preteen) are our entry level classes usually taken for 1-2 years. Ballet II (6-9) and Beg. Int. Ballet (Adult/ Teen/ Preteen) students take 1-2 times a week. We also offer more advanced levels that are required to be taken twice week and usually will be recommended to take by the teacher.} 

Jazz
Jazz is an energetic class that focuses on core strength, flexibility, and technique. It’s ballet based, so it has a lot of the same fundamentals as ballet, but Jazz is high energy and fast paced! Your child will work on turns, leaps and will learn a number of new routines to fun songs ranging from pop to show tunes.

{ Jazz I (6-9) and Jazz I (Adult/ Teen/ Preteen) are our entry level classes usually taken 1-2 years. Jazz II (6-9) and Jazz I/ II (Adult/ Teen/ Preteen) students take 1-2 times a week. We also offer more advanced levels of jazz that are required to be taken with a ballet & jazz technique class and usually will be recommended to take by the teacher.}

Jazz Technique
Think of this class as a Jazz class boot camp! Jazz Technique class is for the dancer who wants to increase their technique in their current Jazz class. This class works specifically on turns and leaps by doing repetitive drills. It is filled with technical exercises that will increase strength, flexibility and dance technique. It is usually taken with a Ballet class, and of course a Jazz class. This class does not perform in the recital.

{ Jazz Tech is offered to  (6-9) and (Adult/ Teen/ Preteen) Tech. I is usually taken with Tech. II and III usually will be recommended to take by the teacher. }

Contemporary
Contemporary Dance is not classical like traditional Ballet or Broadway style Jazz. This genre is studied once a dancer has a strong Ballet & Jazz technical background.

Modern
Modern dance is a more relaxed, freestyle of dance in which choreographers use emotions & moods to design their own steps in contrast to structured code or steps. (Must be in Jazz II or higher)

Hip Hop
This is a high energy and upbeat dance class that focuses on coordination, confidence, and rhythm through exciting exercises. Your child will learn to count music, memorize of dance steps, and will learn fun choreography to age appropriate and popular music. Join this class to learn the latest dance moves!

{ Hip Hop I (6-9), Hip Hop I (9-12), and Hip Hop I (Adult, Teen) are our entry level classes usually taken 1-2 years. Hip Hop II (6-9) and Hip Hop I/ II (9-12) students usually take for 2-3 years.

Break Dance
This is a supplemental class to go along with furthering your Hip Hop skills. Popping, locking & tricks!

Tap
Tap is a great way to exercise the body as well as the mind! It challenges students to integrate rhythmic patterns using their feet as the instrument. Tap focuses on beat, timing, rhythm and coordination. As students become more advanced they will learn increasingly intricate combinations. Keep in mind, a one hour tap class requires a great deal of coordination and can be challenging to those under 9 years old, unless they have had previous dance experience
