Class Descriptions





PRESCHOOL CLASSES



These classes are 1 hour long and include ballet, tumbling & tap. We introduce our little ones to the basics of dance & rhythm, while learning classroom skills, making friends and having fun! Our preschoolers perform in our recitals, and are DEFINITELY the stars of the show!






​COMPANY CLASSES


These classes are by invitation only and are for more serious dancers. These students have expressed an interest in dancing multiple times a week and are ready to take their dancing to the next level. Besides taking weekly classes, these students are required to take additional technique classes throughout the year using the Punch Card system.



COMBINATION CLASSES



These classes are 1 hour long and include a variety of ballet, tap, jazz, and tumbling. Combination classes are very important for young dancers because they teach the basic fundamentals of all dance. Teachers focus on timing and rhythm while working on coordination and body control. These classes will perform 2 dances in the recital.




BALLET TECHNIQUE


This class is a must if you are interested in Pointe. We require 1 year of ballet technique before going on your toes to dance. Anyone in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade is eligible for this class. This class is a lot of hard work, but if properly trained, Pointe dancing is very beautiful and self-rewarding.

LYRICAL



Because lyrical dancing has become so popular in the past few years, we are now offering it to our younger students. We have special classes for 2nd grade through High School. Lyrical is a dance form that focuses more on flowing body movements, flexibility, and feeling. To enhance one's overall ability, we suggest taking both a Lyrical and a Jazz & Tap (combination) Class.



BOYS JAZZ & TAP


Does your son want to be the next Fred Astaire? Fred who? Well, it doesn't matter anyway - this class is designed for energetic boys who like to make noise! They will learn basic dance technique and skills, flexibility stretches, and make really cool tap sounds!






Punch Card Technique

HIP HOP



An urban dance form that involves popping, locking, tutting, isolations, stalls and intricate footwork. Be sure to wear baggy clothes, get ready to sweat, and dance outside your comfort zone with these fun classes!








ACROBATICS


Acrobatic skills are becoming more and more popular in contemporary, lyrical, hip hop and jazz routines! Our Acrodance program helps dancers learn these skills through safe and effective acro progressions that promote flexibility, strength, balancing, limbering, and tumbling. Starting Fall 2020, we are now an acrobatic arts certified studio! Students progress through a 12 level acrobatic program that focuses on building strong and technical dancers. Starting with level one, and working their way up, dancers will have fun and gain confidence in their tumbling and balancing!
