Ballet/Tap Combo
Ages 3-6
A ballet/tap combo class is a dance class that combines elements of both ballet and tap dance styles, providing students with a diverse and well-rounded dance experience. This type of class is often designed for young dancers, typically ranging from preschool to early elementary school age, as it introduces them to the basics of two distinct dance forms in a fun and engaging way.
TAP
A tap dance class is a dynamic and rhythmic dance session that focuses on creating sounds and rhythms through the movement of the feet, often using special shoes with metal plates on the sole. Tap dancing is characterized by its lively and percussive nature, with dancers using their feet as instruments to produce intricate and syncopated rhythms. Tap classes cater to various skill levels, from beginners to advanced dancers, and provide a structured environment for learning and refining tap dance techniques.
Acrodance
Acrobatic Dance, or acro as it is commonly referred to, is the fusion of dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Often defined by unique choreography, acro dancers seamlessly blend musicality, emotional expression, line and extension with acrobatic movements in a dance context.
Students begin with basic stunts such as forward rolls, cartwheels, and beginner balances. More advanced students will continue to add to their repertoire with more advanced tumbling, balances, and partner lifts/stunts.
Jazz
Our jazz class is a dance session that combines the energy and flair of jazz dance with the theatricality and storytelling elements of Broadway-style performances. This dance style draws inspiration from both traditional jazz dance techniques and the dynamic choreography seen in musical theater productions. In this class, dancers learn to express emotions, tell stories, and capture the essence of stage quality performances through their movements.
Lyrical Ballet
Lyrical ballet is a style of dance that blends elements of jazz and modern dance with the foundational technique of ballet, focusing on expressing emotions, storytelling, and interpreting music through movement. It is characterized by its fluid and graceful movements that often convey deep emotions and lyrical themes. Lyrical dance is known for its connection to music, allowing dancers to convey the lyrics and emotions of a song through their choreography.
MODERN
In this Modern Dance class, we blend the revolutionary techniques to create a holistic approach to movement. These techniques emphasize breath, contraction, release, and intricate body isolations to convey emotion, strength, and storytelling through movement.
