Dance Styles
Ballet
We teach the Russian method of Ballet which is commonly used in performing companies and is considered to have precise movements that express clean lines. Students receive the strong classical dance foundation needed for all other forms of dance.
Jazz
Movement dynamics, body isolations and performance expression will introduce an entirely different movement style to the dancer’s repertoire. Class includes supplemental stretching as well as across the floor movement with increasingly complex turns and leaps. Style, musicality and dynamic will be a focus of this class.
​
Pointe
Beginning Pointe class can be taken on flat or in pointe shoes at the instructor's discretion. All pointe classes are designed for students with previous ballet training. Each class includes barre exercises, center floor work and across the floor combinations. These exercises focus on strengthening the feet and ankles.
Tap
Students will explore all tap styles from Broadway to Rhythm tap. The first classes will begin with introduction to the sounds that the parts of the feet make leading to more advanced concepts such as complex phrasing and rhythms. The dancer will be challenged to develop coordination, musicality and style within the technique.
​
Modern
Modern dance is one of the techniques along with Ballet that students often need to enter into most magnet schools and university dance programs. Modern dance is imperative to teach dancers how to curve, bend, find off center balances and drop their weight. Class work is performed barefoot true to the technique of modern dance.
​
Hip-Hop
A blend of several styles of Hip-Hop, popular dance and jazz. Strength and stamina will be developed to successfully perform moves. The class includes upper and lower body conditioning as well as a rigorous cardio warm-up to help prepare students for more intense movements.

Specialty Classes
Specialty Classes are designed to supplement regular technique classes. These are challenging classes designed to be fun and expressive. If you want to propel yourself to the next level, strength, expressive movement, form and flexibility are key!
