CLASSES

Class Placement...

Class placement/schedule is tentative for the first two months. Lyrical classes require a student to also be enrolled in either Ballet or Jazz due to technicallity.

Students will be placed in a class according to age and technical ability. They will also be evaluated on physical and emotional readiness, musicality, consistency, and attitude. A minimum or maximum number of students are required for each class. an insufficient number will result in the class being dissolved or redistributed.

Ballet
Classes will focus on body alignment with grace, balance, flexibility, and strength. To achieve this, classes will concentrate on technique barre, centre, and across the floor mainly in the Vaganova method terminology and discipline will be stressed

Jazz

Classes are up-tempo to age appropriate music. Basic warm-ups are given to increase flexibility and correct body alignment. Classes include progressions across the floor with kicks, leaps, and turns.

Hip-Hop

These classes are a more grounded and funky type of class. They will incorporate the latest hip-hop and street style movements to age appropriate music.

Lyrical

This dance genre is a beautiful contemporary style of dance which incorporates jazz, ballet, and modern techniques. Therefore, it is only offered to the older students with experience and who are also enrolled in a ballet or jazz class. Lyrical combines the grace of ballet with the strength and style of jazz with the unique movements of modern to tell a story, usually to lyrics. Concentration will be on flexibility, balance, and expression through movement.

Tap

Classes include a basic warm-up with center floor combinations. Tap integrates rhythms, musicality, timing, and precision to create a percussive musician.

Pop- Hop

These classes are a more grounded and funky type of class. They will incorporate the latest hip-hop and street style movements to age appropriate music. This class is a little less about technique and more about learning to move to the music. This class is for our younger dancers ages 5-7 years old

Mini's (pre-ballet)

Classes will focus on body alignment with grace, balance, flexibility, and strength. They will learn many of their ballet positions through fun music games, and songs that give them directions for movement. The mini classes are for our younger beginning dancers ages 3-4 years old.
