Class descriptions

Jazz, Leaps & Turns

Dancers work on skills needed for Jazz as well as various turns and leaps needed in today's ever changing dance world. All of this is practiced, while incorporating strong technical accountability and improvement. 

Acro

 This class is designed for students to increase flexibility, strength and balance. Students will learn to control various tricks, balances and tumbling skills, using mats designed for their safety.  

Ballet, Pointe, Variations

 

Ballet is a style of dance based on vocabulary and technique. Classes combine stretching, barre exercises and center technique work. Ballet is the most disciplined style of dance and is the foundation for any dancer. 


Once a student has adequate strength of the feet and ankles, they can begin Pointe Work. Approval is required for Pointe.  

Contemporary

 Contemporary allows dancers to combine steps together in more of an artistic format utilizing the technical component of Ballet. Contemporary is typically danced to slower music, either ballads with words or instrumental.
