ABOUT OUR CLASSES
Creative Movement teaches the basic elements of ballet and creative movement (expression, creativity, imagination) in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The child is encouraged to discover dance within, while increasing self-control, flexibility and coordination. This is a structured class.
Creative Dance Making teaches dancers basic elements of choreography, while allowing them to create their own dance pieces, with guidance from our trained teachers.
Combination classes for ages 3-1st grade incorporate creative movement, basic ballet, basic tap steps and tumbling at an age appropriate level. These are structured dance classes.
Ballet classes emphasize posture, placement, body positions, combinations, discipline, structure and proper technique through a strictly defined classical vocabulary. We strongly recommend ballet for all students since it encourages strength and discipline. At the more advanced levels, speed, stage presence and timing become more of a focus.
Pointe is by teacher advancement only after at least 3 years of ballet technique. The female dancer has to be at least 11 years of age and be able to perform basic technique with correctness. Her legs and feet must be sufficiently strong and developed.
Hip hop classes include a style of street dance that incorporates elements of “music video” choreography, popping, locking, footwork, and freezes at an age appropriate level.
Jazz classes include warm-ups, isolations, combinations, floor patterns and stretching. Our style is a combination of classic Broadway jazz and current popular dance choreography.
Contemporary Lyrical classes incorporate the use of balance, flexibility, and control utilizing the lyrics or mood of the music.
Musical Theatre classes include basic jazz warm-ups and routines interpreting songs from Broadway or movie musicals.
Tap classes consist of drill exercises, floor techniques, combinations, and dances. Tap develops alert, quick thinking, coordination, sense of rhythm, shading, timing and phrasing.
