Classes are designed to train the student in Classical Ballet technique. Classes will focus on technique and alignment in addition to grace, coordination and flexibility.
Dancers will learn the rhythm patterns, jumping and turning movements of jazz and finally jazz progressions as well as fun hip hop routines comprised of age appropriate hip hop movements and will also work on body isolations.
A style of dance that teaches the basic arm placements/movements of cheer leading and incorporates sharp dance movements into the choreography. Students will also learn basic cheer leading jumps. Short combinations of choreography and jumps will be taught in each class that will eventually turn into a complete recital dance.
This is a beginner class where children will learn to move their body in a flowing manner to music. It will incorporate more emotional movements that differ from ballet or jazz. The dancers will learn to try new things and be creative with the way their bodies can move. A class for the child who is willing to step out of the box a little bit and loves to dance!
: A class focused primarily on turns and leaps found within several different styles of dance including ballet, jazz, modern, and hip hop. Students will learn technique fundamentals and will emerge as stronger dancers.

This class is an introductory class to modern dance. This style of dance is based on movements that are grounded, graceful and simple. It's a fun new way to think about movement. The intensity level of class is nothing more than a typical workout. There will be routines that we will learn for fun and the focus is learning how to move in different ways. There is also an emphasis on learning to move in a flowing and graceful manner to music.
