Prep Steps

This class is a combination class for the beginner dancer. Usually ages 2.5yr old through 5 yr old. The class includes Ballet elements and Tap elements. It is a 45 minute class ( 20mins. of each style with approximately five minute interval to change shoes). Dancers will learn basics and beginning fundamentals of dance such as listening, focus, learning, and memory. The dance steps are very basic & repetitive. Parents are encouraged to watch through our viewing windows & join class every once in a while.

Hip Hop

This is a popular dance class, its dancing style is primarily associated with break dancing. Hip Hop has a wide definition, mainly classified as pop & lock or more aggressive forms. It's a performance to urban music and steps include upright, jumpy, popping, and posing into floor tricks. The loose dance movements does need great commitment to the style. The more fun you have dancing, the better it looks as a style. We have classes available for beginners through advanced level.

Jazz

This type of dance can be performed with fast or slow music combined with dramatic moves such as twists, kicks, turns, and rolls. Jazz dance includes many elements from ballet and theatre. It helps dancers with flexibility, quick movements, accurate feet, power for lifts, leaps, and steps across the floor. Most of our jazz classes are combined with tap or lyrical. These classes are usually for 6 yr olds & up from beginner to advanced.

Tap

The most fun class!!! Tap dancing is a form of dance in which a tapping sound is made when the metal plates on the dancer's shoes touch a hard surface. This type of dance is primarily using the legs and learning rhythm. Its very discipline and uses many elements from ballet. Tap steps include shuffles, flaps, cramp rolls, maxi fords, pullbacks, wings, stomps, etc. All these basic steps are often combined together to create new steps. Most of these classes are combined with ballet or jazz classes.

ACRO/ TUMBLING

This class is truly the foundation of all dance. It teaches self discipline, correct body placement, strength, and gracefulness. With good fundamentals, balance, and focus; such as turns as pirouette, pica', chanae', along with saut de chat, jete' leaps are achievable and making a good dancer grow & shape into a great performer. All dancers are encouraged to attend ballet classes. For the beginner dancer, ballet is part of their combination classes.

These two styles of dance have been exploding into the dance world these last few years. We are offering lyrical classes for those who enjoy ballet based dance movement with a little more fluidity to them. Our contemporary class is for those who are more open to modern and forming shapes, becoming fearless, and give overly the top creativity in step arrangement. Allowing the music to form a story or explore our passion for something through movement.

This class is all about gymnastics skills and learning tricks for other styles of dance. We provided 3 levels of training: Learn 2 Tumble, Level 1 and Level 2. Classes are designed to stretch, condition and strengthen the muscles for gymnastics. all skills are taught by age, level and ability.  All classes are held on gym mats, airtack and additional mats are used to help provide help through the learning process of each skill.

 

SHOES REQUIRED for this class: bare feet only 

Technique

This class is our most informative class. We pride ourselves on teaching each dancer about the body & how it moves into these great positions which we call dance. Technique is a breakdown of all movement in dance. Learning to articulate the feet & hands, holding your center, strength of the arms, and overall the discipline to control the entire body. This class is closely networked with ballet. Both are the concrete to all of dance and styles. Without technique, dancers could not grow or be challenged. All dancers are encouraged to attend ballet class and jazz class. Its great for beginners through advance dancers. We explore many different steps & how to control the body.

STRETCH/ CONDITIONING

This class is for any dancer 6yr old & up who is working on their flexibility & wanting to build up their dance muscles.  Having the mobility in your hips, back, and legs will expand the development of a dancer.  Conditioning the body will help the stamina and overall dancer's confidence when performing. We suggest all our dancers attend these classes throughout the season.
