Pre-School Programs:
Our pre-school programs are specially designed for the child 18 months to 6 years of age. Each pre-school class has built in "benchmarks" for each child to reach, so that YOU can see your child's success. The focus is on creative play, fine and gross motor skills, basic ballet, coordination, and role playing. Our Pre-School classes are a great place for young children to explore their creative minds! All pre school classes have small class sizes to promote individual instruction. There are always two teachers in the room- One of them being a licensed educator!
Creative Movement: (Ages 3-4)
This basic creative movement class is for young dancers who want to explore movement, rhythm, and play. Basic ballet positions are taught, as well as role-playing, memory and dance sequences. Great for a first time young dancer. Tap dance may be incorporated into this class as well.
Combo Dance: (2 Class Offerings Ages 5+)
This dance class is a combo of ballet and tap. Students will spend time in the slow and fluid movements of ballet and then move on to the rhythms of tap. The combo classes are the most advanced of the pre-school and elementary age classes and great for young dancers who have already progressed through the Creative Movement program.
School-Age Programs : (7yrs-College)
Our school-age programs focus on correct technique, terminology, and placement. These classes are designed for students to receive the maximum amount of dance training in each style and also focus on dance history, and developing a love for the arts.
Ballet (Levels I/II and III)
Ballet is the core of dance and our ballet classes prepare the dancer for all other styles of dance. Discipline, technique, and a focus on movement quality is emphasized in our ballet classes.
Jazz (Levels I/II and III)
Jazz is an up-beat and stylized type of dance. Our jazz classes focus on rhythm, technique, choreography, and performance. We teach traditional jazz, broadway style jazz, and contemporary jazz styles to teach the dancer how jazz dance has progressed through time.
Tap (Levels I/II and III)
Tap dance is based in basic rhythms and sounds. Classes will focus on clean tap sounds and basic tap skills. More advanced students will experiment with footwork, movement, and choreography. Traditional, Funk, and Broadway Style tap dance are all incorporated into tap class.
Hip Hop (Levels I and II Plus an all boys class)
Hip hop dancing is an ideal way to express one's creativeness. There is breaking, popping, locking, and free styling in hip hop dances. The jumps, breakages, and rotations in the movements are combined in such a way that the dance style becomes an informal but high energy style.
Lyrical/Choreography
Finally! A class where the STUDENT can take control. In this class we explore lyrical and expressive dance while allowing students the freedom to experiment with movement and choreography. Students will work with dynamics of music and movement while thinking outside the box! Great for intermediate and advanced dancers, this is one of our most popular classes.
