JAZZ

Basic jazz techniques are taught in all of our jazz classes. All classes start with a warm-up which involves both flexibility and strengthening exercises. This is followed by across the floor combinations and finished up with either center floor combinations and/or jazz routines.

 

TAP

All tap classes begin with warm-up exercises to help build tap technique. We work on the 3 C’s: cleanliness, clarity and crisp rhythms of tap sounds. These tap basics are taught in all tap classes and at all levels.

 

BALLET/POINTE

Our ballet program starts with the basics and progresses to more advanced levels of ballet. All ballet classes begin with barre work and then progress to center floor. Emphasis is placed on good ballet technique and body placement. Since ballet is the core of all dance styles, we provide dancers with all of the necessary tools to improve their dance skills for any style of dance they wish to pursue.

 

HIP-HOP

We offer a fun and kid-friendly hip-hop program. Our hip-hop classes have a funky street style feel. However, all the material and all music is age and level appropriate so all of our hip-hop dancers enjoy dancing in a fun environment.

 

LYRICAL

The best way to describe lyrical is to say that it is a cross between ballet and jazz techniques. Lyrical classes reflect the mood and lyrics of the music using the control of ballet with the emotional execution of contemporary dance forms.

 

 

TURNS & LEAPS

This is a skill building class which is vital for any jazz or lyrical dancer. No choreography is learned here, as emphasis is on building technical turning and leaping skills

 

 

IRISH DANCE

Our Irish dance program incorporates beginning through advanced levels of the traditional Irish dance style. This includes a “Riverdance” style of Irish dance which was made famous by Michael Flatley of “Lord of the Dance”.
