We offer classical ballet and contemporary dance classes for all levels of abilities and ages including:

ADULT DANCE CLASSES AND CHILDREN’S DANCE CLASSES

  • Creative Movement – is designed to enhance rhythmic and muscular development in 4 year olds by using simplified ballet exercises, rhythm patterns and creative play.
    Pre-Ballet – with a strong emphasis on body awareness, posture and stretching, this class teaches 5-7 year olds fundamentals of classical ballet, beginning ballet terminology and builds rhythmic and muscular development.
  • Classical Ballet: – Through the use of barre, center floor and traveling exercises and combinations, students learn Classical (Russian) technique beginning at age 8. (Strong emphasis is placed on technique.)
  • Pointe: These classes require a rigorous and technical ballet background; students must be developmentally ready and recommended for pointe classes.
  • Modern (also called Contemporary Dance): Though very different from classical ballet the technical training is similar.  It is a barefoot technique; emphasis is placed on the development of strength and balance. (Graham based technique)
  • Tap Lessons: Rhythmic combinations, time steps and other basics to form the art of tap dancing.
  • Jazz Dance Classes: Classical jazz technique incorporating stretching, isolation and combination exercises designed to develop the necessary flexibility, strength and versatility for this stylized movement.
  • Dance Hip-Hop Classes: Movement choreographed to today’s pop and hip-hop music. The warm-up exercises are designed to improve stretch, strength and develop the technique necessary for this genre.
  • Musical Theater: is the vocal and staging component of the musical theater program.  Beginning students are challenged to develop basic acting skills and basic vocal technique for musical theater through simple games and exercises.  Students at the intermediate / advanced level will workshop songs individually and in groups.  Emphasis is placed on presentation.  (This class is only open to students enrolled in the musical theater program.)
