Classes
Creative Combo
45 min
Very basic introduction to tap, ballet, & jazz. We use a lot of holiday/seasonal songs throughout the year, and do many different exercises/songs to keep the little ones interested. Students should be close to 3 yrs at the start of classes and preferably be potty-trained. Mature/older 2 year olds may be accepted.
Combination Class
1 hr to 1 hr 15 min
(Pre-K through Advanced levels)
We start with the basics of tap/ballet/jazz in the lower level combo classes and build on these skills as the students move up. Higher level combo classes are strictly tap/jazz and we recommend ballet as a separate class (especially for the serious dancer).
Combination classes will perform two numbers in recitals: 1 tap, 1 ballet or jazz
Ballet & Contemporary Basics
1 hr
(7 years and up)
Ballet is the technical foundation for any good dancer and is highly recommended for all serious dancers 7 and up. It is a disciplined class consisting of barre and center work in which students learn technique, body placement, and control. Some of the choreography will lean to a more contemporary style of movement. Students who want to compete need to be enrolled in ballet. Also, this class will prepare students for advanced ballet & advanced contemporary.
Hip Hop
1/2 hr
(6 years and up)
Hip-hop is usually considered more of a street style dance. This class is shorter than our other classes and is recommended as an additional class but can be taken alone (tuition is less due to shorter time).
Acrobatics
45 min
(5 years and up)
Beginner & Intermediate levels may be combined. Students will work on stretching, strength work, and gymnastic type movement/tricks (rolls, cartwheels, backbends, etc) Acro is a great class to work on flexibility and learn tricks that can be incorporated into dances. No student will be forced to do anything beyond his/her ability. 1/2 hr Advanced Acro offered following Jazz Conditioning if enough students interested.
Advanced Ballet
1 hr
Strictly classical barre, center, and choreography.
Pointe - 1/2 hour Pointe class offered following Adv Ballet if enough students are interested)
Contemporary
45 min
Advanced level class consisting of warm-up/stretch, center and across the floor technique work, and learning contemporary choreography with focus on expressive movement and emotion. Dancers must have AT LEAST two years of ballet (one on a non-recital year) and be at least 12 in order to be accepted into contemporary class.
Jazz Technique & Conditioning
1 hr
One hour of stretching, technique, & jazz choreography with a lot of work on jumps and turns. Great class for the dancer who wishes to become more flexible and/or wants a full hour of jazz as opposed to tap/jazz combo class or in addition to tap/jazz combo.
