CREATIVE DANCE: for children age 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 These classes serve as an introduction
to rhythmic dance and creative movement. Basic fundamental loco motor
skills and movement vocabulary are developed through creative movement/dance.
Young dancers use props and games to help advance coordination and motor skills
BALLET: The foundation of dance. This class will focus on the classical
elements of ballet, teaching students proper technique and body
alignment. Classes demand high focus from the student but are very
valuable to their progression as a dancer. Sound ballet technique is
essential for strength, power, and execution of each dancer.
TAP: These classes (depending on
age of dancer) is designed to introduce children/adults to the techniques
of tap dance. Classes typically consist of center floor warm
ups, isolation's, and movement transitions across the floor. Children/Adults
will explore basic tap combination's including sound definition, improvisation,
and technique.
HIP HOP: These classes begin with an isolation warm-up, progress to across the floor
movements and end with center combination. Dancers are encouraged to push themselves to explore new movements and
to understand the elements of choreography, music, and performance.
JAZZ: Classes focus on both classic and current styles of jazz, while
keeping emphasis on technique, center, and placement. Creative routines
are taught and dancers learn how to interpret their music with control
and fluidity. Classes integrate the fundamentals of ballet for proper
technique, while using exciting music and fresh moves. We highly
recommend students continue ballet training while taking jazz.
