Classes:
PreK-Combo
These classes are an introduction class to our most important dance styles, students will learn the basic movements for jazz, tap and ballet. Students will also be taught rhythm, basic following skills, and will receive an appreciation for dance. Sorry no mommies and daddies allowed in the room with our dancers.
Ballet
Ballet is the basic of all forms of dance. In these classes we work on technique and classical ballet style. This form of dance allows all students to excel in their other styles. The level of technique and barre work, strenghtening and grand allegrao depends upon the level of class. Pointe students will only go up on pointe at the discretion of the studio. This is for the safety and protection of all of our students.
Lyrical
This is for the student who wants the strength and dynamic of a ballet class without the sometimes restrictive technique of a ballet class. The focus is upon artistic expression, musical phrasing and interpretation.
Leaps and Turns
This is our jazz class. Focus is upon technique needed for leaps and turns. This mixes the technique of a ballet class and the fun of a hip hop class.
Irish
For the more serious student. This program was made popular by the styling of Lord of the Dance. Students begin by learning the technique in softshoe and as they progress will develop into hardshoe technique.
Tap
Tap is a concentration of footwork and rhythm. Elements of both rhythm and broadway are taught.
Hip Hop
A collective term for arguably the most popular stye of dance around.
