Modern with Marlo
Marlo’s class concentrates on building clean, sound and strong technique. Moving gently from the floor to standing, each exercise stresses the importance of strengthening the core in order to enhance integrated mobility throughout the entire body. Marlo borrows from her training in Barteniff Fundamentals™ and Laban™ to challenge each student with the art of musicality and weight shifting. Be ready to sweat while working on strength and mobility as you gain freedom in your dancing.

Pointe
This Beginning/Intermediate Pointe class is for students with strong ballet training who are interested in starting/revisiting pointe work. The hour long class is divided into two parts: strengthening and variation work. All students will work at the barre on strengthening, participate in short exercises across the floor, and be given tips on how to improve technique. After strengthening, some students will be asked to change to flat shoes as we begin to learn more difficult variations. As the more beginning pointe student improves, there will be opportunities for her to work in the shoes for longer periods of time.

Gentle Ballet & Stretch
This is a low-level ballet class that includes warm-up exercises on mats, a strengthening barre with lots of stretching, lyrical center-floor combinations, and more long stretching on mats. This is a great class for beginners and a wonderful relaxing work-out for any level.

Ballet
Class emphasis is on placement, strength development, body awareness and quality of movement. Class approach alternates between a purely classical style and those designed with a more contemporary approach to ballet technique. You can therefore, use this class to reinforce your technique for other dance forms, or continue perfecting placement and classical lines. Every class includes a comprehensive barre and center practice.

Jazz
All classes explore the various styles of jazz including lyrical, modern, commercial, and musical-theatre. Class begins with a comprehensive warm-up that focuses on building strength and flexibility. Students will develop their technique through challenging leaps, turns, and progressions.
