Ballet -
Like other dance forms, ballet may tell a story, express
a mood, or simply reflect the music.
But a ballet dancer's
technique (way of performing) and special skills is what
differentiates him or her
from other dancers. Ballet students
will understand how to take a ballet class and learn about
their bodies as
they relate movement to the technique of
ballet. |

Tap -
Considered by legendary tap dance master Steve Condos to
be “the tempo of America," tap has come a
long way from its humble origins and is more popular
than ever. This class maintains a fun and lively approach
to tap as an art form. Students will learn the necessary
tools of rhythm, coordination,
foot articulation, and
weight changes in order to build confidence in entering
basic level tap classes.

Jazz -
This is the most entertaining class for parents to watch
as students are given plenty of latitude to express
their own personal style as they take on the fox-trot,
shimmy, rag, Charleston, black bottom and other various
dance steps. We also use pop and
other musical styles
are utilized with good strong beats, as well as syncopated
and intricate rhythms,
to motivate our students toward
self expression.

Hip
Hop -
With little debate Hip Hop music is one of the most popular
and relevant genres of music today. And the dance moves
it created have been turned into a fun and artistic
discipline. Through pop and Hip Hop music, this class
helps perfect the student's performance level and gain
confidence as a dancer. Students will learn the basics
of being sharp and energetic, and get a taste of what
professional commercial dancers do to prepare for a
music video or tour.

Modern
Dance - If none of the above styles fit the
student's desires, there's always the fun and popular
Modern Dance class. In this class, students experiment
with a more natural movement, in contrast to the stricter
conventions of traditional ballet. They work with a combination
of different styles that focus on alignment, balance
and flexibility. This style of dance is constantly open
to change and results in more of the student's unique
personality coming through on the dance floor.
