CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
CREATIVE MOVEMENT
Creative Movement classes are taught by our highly trained faculty who encourage students to develop their imagination and self-expression. Each class uses props and music to help each child create and discover their own voice. At this early stage children will learn the basic structure and discipline of a dance class as they explore the fun of moving, singing, and acting! All of our Creative Movement classes are divided into ½ hour ballet and ½ hour tap. This class creates a solid foundation for children who choose to continue with dance and provides great tools for children in all areas of their development such as in social interaction, school, and athletics.

COMBO CLASS I and II
Students are introduced to the basic principles of ballet, tap, and jazz. This is a great class for children ages 5-7 to explore these different styles of dance. Combo I provides students with the basic steps and terminology of ballet and tap. Combo II further explores these basic concepts as the student begins to practice alignment and the appropriate motor skills required to progress to the next levels of dance.

BALLET
Ballet is the foundation for all types of dance. It is strongly suggested that all dancers enroll in ballet (as well as their choice of other classes). Class emphasis is on placement, strength and flexibility development, body awareness and quality of movement. Ballet is essential for the development of strong, clear, and correct technique. Class alternates between a purely classical and a more contemporary approach. Every class includes a comprehensive barre and center practice.

JAZZ
In the early stages of training dancers will learn the basics of jazz as they concentrate on increasing their strength and flexibility through safe and effective exercises. As the jazz student progresses they will learn the various styles of jazz including lyrical, modern, commercial, and musical-theatre. All classes begin with a comprehensive warm-up that focuses on building coordination, stamina, style, strength and flexibility. Students will further develop their technique through challenging leaps, turns, and progressions.

TAP
Each class works from a solid foundation of classical tap. All students will learn basic tap skills such as various time-steps, shuffle, flap, and ball-change. As the student progresses, syncopated rhythms, faster footwork, and more difficult progressions will be taught.

HIP-HOP
Hip-hop is a fun and high energy class for dancers of any age or level. Students will be taught to isolate their bodies with clear dynamics as they study the various styles of hip-hop through unique and current choreography.

MODERN
Modern is a wonderful dance genre that is based on breaking down and manipulating the technique of ballet. Dancers will have the opportunity to fully explore their own movement potential, creativity, and physical coordination. All modern classes are designed to create strong, aligned, and focused dancers.
