2023 REGISTRATION OPEN

Ballet is the foundation of all dance forms. Using precise movements, this technique provides the grace, poise, and technique needed to be proficient in all other dance forms. From beginning to advanced levels, our ballet classes focus on posture, flexibility, natural turnout, fitness, balance, and self-confidence. The unique structure of our ballet classes helps mold our young ballerinas into role models. 

Pointe and Repertoire classes are offered to our students as they transition into intermediate and advanced levels.

Pre-Ballet begins at 20 month-3 years of age and offers our youngest dancers an opportunity to explore movement and music accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Beginning Ballet offers young dancers ages 3-4 years an opportunity to explore movement and learn about the wonderful world of dance. Our skilled and creative instructors use games, stories, and songs to teach balance, rhythm, movement, coordination, and basic ballet steps.

​

Ballet I introduces Ballet vocabulary and strong technique to our students ages  5-6 years in a fun and enjoyable setting. Emphasis is placed on coordination, musicality, rhythm, and concentration while exploring space and enjoying movement.

*2 classes weekly is recommended for this age.

Ballet II,III & IV  - Dancers ages 7-18 years train in a Vaganava focused curriculum in a positive and encouraging setting.  Pre-pointe, Pointe and Repertoire classes are offered to students as they transition into intermediate and advanced levels.

Acro-Tumbling combines classical dance technique with precision acrobatic elements. Strong emphasis is placed on proper technique of acrobatic basics and fundamentals. Classes will work on coordination, flexibility, confidence and strength building.   Younger students learn forward rolls, log rolls, cartwheels, splits, backbends and more!

Hip-Hop Instructors use fresh and innovative choreography to equip dancers with the ability to perform a variety of styles.  Dancers learn elements of musicality and body mechanics in a fun atmosphere.  

Tap classes from beginning to advanced are taught with an emphasis on building basic vocabulary.  A balanced blend of both traditional broadway and rhythmic hoofing styles are taught for a well-rounded curriculum.   

Contemporary dance combines ballet and modern techniques through organic movements using unrestricted lines. Our contemporary classes are an empowering fusion of technique, strength, musicality, acro, self-expression, and emotion.  

Jazz is a very distinct style of dance that is constantly growing and evolving. From beginning to advanced levels, our classes focus on the fundamentals such as isolations, developing complex rhythms and movements, and more. From Fosse to contemporary styles, we include proper warm-ups, stretching, across-the-floor progressions, and intricate upbeat combinations. As students progress, classes become increasingly more detailed and complex.
