Class Descriptions
Ballet
Hip Hop
Ballet is a classical dance form demanding grace and
precision; employing formalized steps and gestures set in
intricate, flowing patterns to create expression through
movement. Ballet is the foundation for all formal dance
training and plays a vital role in the development of a
dancer. In class, students learn classical ballet terminology
while growing technically as a dancer. Dancers start class
at the barre where they warm up and progress to exercises
across the floor. Ballet improves overall body alignment
and posture, balance, strength, and flexibility. Students
will learn classical ballet terminology while growing
technically as a dancer.
Hip Hop focuses on rhythm, syncopation and stage
presence. Derived from a combination of jazz funk and
street jazz, this style of dance requires high energy,
attention to detail and an understanding of complex
rhythms.
Tap
Students learn jumps, motion techniques, cheers and cheer
dances. This class helps children prepare for the great
sport of cheer that enhances coordination and flexibility.
The rhythm and movement of tap, created by the metal
taps on the heels and toes of a dancer’s shoes, transforms
the dancer into a percussive musician. Students learn
coordination, timing/rhythm and vocabulary. Tap dance
emphasizes the flow of movement by teaching the dancer
to find rhythms and beats not only in music but in their
own bodies.
Jazz
Jazz dance combines techniques of classical ballet and
modern dance with the current forms of popular dance.
Jazz also has its own movement vocabulary ranging from
the isolation of certain body parts to the movement of the
entire body with the accents of musical rhythms. Jazz
dance can take on many different characteristics and
styles, including Street Jazz, Percussive, Broadway,
Contemporary and Lyrical. Jazz classes can be patterned
in any of these styles or a combination of them. Emphasis
is on the importance of energy, rhythmical accuracy, and
style.
Pointe
Dancing on pointe is the act of standing on the tips of the
toes while performing steps from ballet. Also known as
pointe work, it is performed using hard–toed and stiffshanked pointe shoes. Dancing on pointe requires strength
and skill, so prior permission from an instructor is required
before students begin taking pointe classes. Weekly
attendance in a ballet class is required to participate in a
pointe class.
Boys Unlimited
A class for boys ONLY! Students express themselves and
unleash their creativity to the beats of hip-hop, jazz and
breakdance. No dance experience is necessary, just a desire
