Combo
Combo. class is the best way to introduce your dancer to different styles of dance! For ages 3-4 we offer Ballet & Jazz and Ballet &Tap class options. For our 5 and 6 year old dancers, we offer Ballet/Tap/Jazz as well as Jazz & Tap and Jazz & Hip-Hop classes! We teach the basics of these forms of dance plus discipline, other hand eye coordination, and motor skills in a fun, energetic and relaxed atmosphere.
Ballet
We have Ballet options for ages 6 and up! Intro. to Ballet is designed to teach Ballet basics plus discipline, other hand eye coordination and motor skills to each student in a fun, energetic and relaxed atmosphere. In Ballet 1 we incorporate the basic movements/steps into combinations, develop strength and technique, and form stronger dancers! At these levels, we also focus on dancer health, dance history, and beginning choreography.
TAP
Tap is a form of dance using the shoe, as well as the floor, as a percussive instrument. Students will learn both Rhythm Tap (focused more on music and rhythms) and Broadway Tap (focused more on dance), as well as musicality, improvisation and timing.
Hip Hop
Hip-Hop dance refers to street dance styles primarily performed to Hip-Hop music. This type of dance has evolved as part of Hip-Hop culture. Most new Hip-Hop styles have infused urban party dancing with studio technique. They involve a lot of footwork, radical movement and emphasis placed on musicality. Freestyle (improvisation) is still very important with every style of Hip-Hop. Traditionally Hip-Hop dance, or any form of the Street Dance, is not performed to counts, as these styles were created on the street rather in a studio setting. With the new styles, counting is sometimes used in class. Hip-Hop dance history will also be incorporated into all of our Hip-Hop classes.
Contemporary
We offer beginner through advanced level Contemporary classes. Contemporary dance is an expressive form of dance in which we explore the movement of the body and expression of emotion through dance and the elements around us. By not teaching one specific technique, our focus is to educate our students on multiple professional techniques and the history of Contemporary dance, encourage students to express their own creativity, and grow their movement vocabulary through the use of improvisation.
Acro-Dance
Acro-Dance is a fusion of artistic motion, technique of dance, and the athleticism of acrobatics. It is important to note that Acro-Dance is not the same as Gymnastics. In Gymnastics training, dance is secondary, but in Acro-Dance, skills are expected to seamlessly incorporate dance. This is why we require students take either Ballet, Jazz, or Modern in addition to Acro-Dance. This style of dance is performed on a hard floor without mats, (mats are used in training the skill, but to be performed without). Due to the importance of flexibility for Acro-Dance, these classes will include strength and flexibility drills to allow our students to perform skills safely and correctly.
Musical Theatre jazz
Musical Theatre class will focus on learning proper dance technique while exploring the various dance styles used in Broadway shows. Emphasis will also be placed on learning performance skills such as connecting with the audience and telling a story through dance and facial expressions.
