PARENT & TOT
This class is for our tiniest dancers aged 1-2. Instructors lead dancers and their parent/guardian in a fun filled 30 minute class. Each class consists of rhymes, rhythms, creative movement, dance exercises and play. This class is a great way to introduce little dancers to a class setting and begins to teach them to follow instruction and musical cues. Dancers must be accompanied by an adult in this class.
PRESCHOOL
DANCE
Welcome to dance! Preschool Dance is the perfect intro class for your new dancer. Instructors lead students aged 2-4 through a fun class that starts to build a strong foundation in each dancer. Classes are designed to build coordination, musicality, social skills, independence and creativity. This class is not parent participation.
JAZZ
These fast paced classes focus on technical dance steps. Starting with a warm up and stretch and strengthening exercises, jazz classes build proper alignment and posture for turns, jumps and upbeat choreography.
BALLET
These classes focus on building a strong foundation in classical ballet training. Dancers work to build postural awareness, coordination and strong technique.
HIP HOP
Bring your energy for these upbeat classes! Current music and energetic choreography make hip hop the perfect choice for dancers who want to move and groove.
LYRICAL
Lyrical is a fluid style of dance that combines ballet and jazz techniques. Lyrical choreography expresses emotion that is inspired by lyrics and music.
CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary dance combines elements of several dance forms but has no fixed or established movement patterns.Dancers work toconnect the mind and body in this expressive dance style.
POINTE
Pointe work is a classical ballet technique that involves dancers moving on the tips of their toes in specialized dance shoes called pointe shoes. Previous ballet training is required for this class. Dancers will start this class without pointe shoes to ensure they develop the proper foot and ankle strength needed to execute proper and safe pointe technique.
TAP
Tap dance is a high energy style of dance characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. These classes focus on rhythm, style, musicality and technique by learning a variety of tap steps, exercises and choreography.
ALUMNI DANCE

STAGE
Also known as theatre or Broadway dance, Stage focuses on story telling and characterization through dance. Dancers work on establishing character and performance quality during these fun and energetic classes. No singing is required for this class.
ADULT DANCE
No experience necessary!
Adult dancers learn steps and choreography in a fun and encouraging environment. Adult classes are scheduled in 5 week sessions so it's easy to fit in with busy schedules without the long term commitment of an entire season. Adult Dance does not perform in the year end recital.
