This class focuses directly on the dance technique for pre-ballet and
tap. Class is divided into 30 minutes on each subject. Students learn to
count music and they learn to utilize opposite arms and legs while
dancing. This is the same type program as described above with out the
tumbling and allowing more time for dancing.

This class is for students who have already completed a year of
pre-ballet and tap and are not yet in Kindergarten. Students in this
class continue to work on the same concept but in greater degrees of
complexity. They learn the proper terminology for dance steps. We also
offer this class with tumbling in a 1 hour and 15 minute class.
GRADE
SCHOOL CLASSES
MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES
Ballet
Technique focuses on
placement, ease of movement and musicality. Careful explanations of
exercises and theory help students to use the ballet vocabulary in a
simple, practical way. Exercises at the barre prepare for more
complicated rhythms and combinations in the center.
Tap
dance explores rhythm,
syncopation, and musicality. These classes will consist of warm-ups
followed by stylized movements across the floor and aggressive, funky,
rhythm oriented combinations.
Jazz
dance will focus on
elements of weight, rhythm, and sharp movement qualities. These classes
begin with a center floor warm-up, continue with isolations, and end
with across the floor exercises and contemporary combinations. These
classes will combine fast paced funk, classical jazz, and lyrical
movements for a well-rounded jazz dancer.
Modern
dance is the study of
various practices that work with balance, direction and momentum,
release of the joints, and individual expression. These classes are
designed to prepare the dancer to move fully through space, to use
personal expression, and to develop an awareness of self.
