Dance Classes

Acrobatics 

Age 4 and up

Students will learn acrobatic floor techniques and tricks. They will also gain physical strength, flexibility and coordination. Class placement for 2nd grade and up is based on individually-judged skill level.

Ballet 

Age 3 and up

Our ballet techniques are rooted in a French, Italian and Russian based curriculum. The barre work is very traditional with contemporary choreography incorporated in center combinations. It is a beginner-through advanced-level program. Students will be evaluated and placed in specific levels on an individual basis.

Creative Movement

Age 2 - 3

This is a creative movement class for two and three-year-olds. It helps them gain confidence and self esteem at a young age while encouraging independent skills. These young students will learn music recognition, acrobatic tricks and beginning ballet techniques.

Contemporary (Lyrical)

grades 5- 12 intermediate/advanced

Combining ballet, jazz and modern technique, this style of dance interprets music through movements

Jazz

2nd Grade and up

Our jazz curriculum includes a jazz warm-up that is used in the first two years of study.   As dancers progress the jazz class includes muscle-building exercises that will lead to center stretch, across-the-floor and jazz combinations. Students will be evaluated and placed in specific levels on an individual basis.

Pointe

6th grade and up who have already learned basic pointe

Students will be evaluated and placed in specific levels on an individual basis. For students who are ready to learn pointe but have never taken a class before, we offer a Pre-Pointe class as well.

Tap

Ages 3 and up

Our tap technique includes rhythm tap, Broadway-style tap and basic emphasis on universal tap skills. Students will be evaluated and placed in specific levels on an individual basis.
