1
Ballet
Our ballet program draws upon both traditional classic methods of training as well as incorporating modern approaches to ballet education. Each consecutive year, the number of technique classes increases as the skill and the ability of the student progresses.
2
Elementary Level Ballet
Students are instructed in proper stretching, primary positions, port de bras, fundamental movements across the floor, and classroom etiquette.
3
Intermediate and Advanced Ballet
Students train in classical technique as well as classical variations classes. Pointe and partnering are integrated into class depending on dancer age and level. Supplemental training in Pilates, Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT), GYROKINESIS®, and nutrition round out this high-standard training program.
4
Jazz
Jazz dance is a fusion genre, incorporating elements from Broadway, pop music, and Modern dance. Movement is characterized by sharp lines, versatile movement, and stylish characters. Dancers work on strengthening, stretching, increasingly complex movement combinations across the floor, jumps, and turns. Dances are often set to recognizable, upbeat music.
5
Lyrical
Lyrical is primarily focused on combining the many technical elements of classical ballet with the freedom and airier aspects of jazz, contemporary, and modern dance. Lyrical dance is expressive, simultaneously subtle, and dynamic, focused on conveying musicality and emotion through movement. Improvisation studies are often included alongside lyrical studies.
6
Tap
*Limited Availability Tap dance is a type of dance characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. Tap shoes are specially designed with a metal "tap" on the heel and toe. Classes are taught to upbeat, rhythmic music. Students learn to count the beat, execute tap combinations, and coordinate intricate foot and arm movements as appropriate for each level.
