Class Offerings
CREATIVE DANCE
Creative Dance is open to ages 3-5. We will explore the fundamental basics of dance including coordination, musicality, space, rhythm, timing, and movement with props through theme-based curriculum.
BALLET LEVELS
These classes provide the technical basics of ballet movement. We offer classes from Beginner Level through Advanced Ballet. Students are grouped by age and ability. Classes progress in strength, flexibility, step knowledge, and vocabulary usage. Each child is encouraged to progress at their own pace. Barre exercises increase gradually in difficulty and endurance. Center work adds jumps, turns, and connecting movements to transform simple exercises into dance. Proper body alignment is coordinated with graceful arm and head movements to attain the esthetic beauty of ballet. Poise, posture, and self-confidence develop as the student advances through beginning and intermediate levels, culminating in the polished performance of an advanced dancer. Ballet teaches self-discipline, determination, concentration, and problem-solving skills.
JAZZ & POM LEVELS
Jazz and Pom classes are open to dancers ages 7 and up. All Jazz and Pom students are encouraged to study ballet. Ballet technique is critical for jazz and pom turns and leaps. Ballet classes are not mandatory, but students with ballet training may excel faster in these classes. Technique and fun choreography are taught and flexibility may be increased!
TAP LEVELS
Tap classes focus on rhythm and the foundation of tap technique.
All ages welcome!
LEAPS & TURNS
This is an advanced technique class that focuses on a variety of leaps and turns.
PILATES
The Pilates method focuses on correct alignment, control, breathing, flowing movement, and concentration. The core is believed to be the “powerhouse” of the body, so there is a focus on the core in every class. Through the practice of Pilates, you may see overall slimming, increased flexibility, and improved mobility. Since Pilates is low-impact, it is for everyone and every body. All ages welcome!
