These classes are recommended for children ages 4-5.  They will continue to learn how to wait their turn patiently, respectfully and quietly and to take turns graciously. Join us for a class that allows young dancers to continue to build a strong technical ballet and tap foundations to begin and foster their love for dance. 

This energetic class combines stretching and basic jazz technique.  Dancers will have fun mastering specific jazz elements and then working on them throughout the season.  These fundamentals will include jazz progressions, turns, leaps and center work. 

Lyrical and Contemporary classes combine the movement quality of jazz with the technical component of Ballet.  Lyrical and Contemporary are typically danced to slower music, either ballads with words or instrumental.  These genres allow dancers to combine steps together in more of an artistic format typically danced in the center of the floor. 

Tap dance is a high-energy, rhythmic style where your feet become part of the music. Dancers will learn to create intricate sounds and patterns using precise footwork, building coordination, timing, and musicality.

Acrobatics gives the dancers a chance to perfect flexibility based tricks that can be incorporated into dance routines. These tricks take years of practice and this class allows our dancers to work on everything from cartwheels, balances, partner tricks and flips of all kinds.  Enrollment in a ballet, lyrical, and/or jazz class is required to register for our acro classes.  

 Progressions allows the dancers to perfect the technical elements they work on in their other classes.  Turn combinations take many years of practice and this class allows our dancers to work on everything from pirouettes, leg spins, leaping, strength and flexibility. All of this is practiced while incorporating strong technical accountability and improvement
