				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 or 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. TAP Each class works from a solid foundation of classical tap. All students will learn basic tap skills such as time-steps, shuffle, flap, and ball-change. As the student progresses, syncopated rhythms and more difficult progressions will be taught. 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. HIP-HOP 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. COMBO CLASS Students are introduced to the basic principles of ballet, tap, and jazz. This is a great class for children ages 6-7 to explore these different styles of dance. As the student progresses, he/she can enroll in classes that are focused on a single dance genre. BALLET Class emphasis is on placement, strength development, body awareness and quality of movement. Class alternates between a purely classical and a more contemporary approach. Every class includes a comprehensive barre and center practice.
