Kinderdance
The perfect combination class to transition into more technical styles of dance.
Jazz
This upbeat class is some serious fun! Jazz is a fusion of ballet and modern layered with a faster-paced, high-energy dance style. Children will learn to take on different characters and performance styles. At this level we introduce connecting emotion to movement and how to tell a story with our bodies. Energy, style, rhythmical accuracy and, of course, fun are all at the forefront.
Acro Dance
Acrobatic dance combines classical dance technique with gymnastics. Acro is classified by it's athletic nature and seamless insertion of acrobatics into choreography.
I.S.T.D Modern Theatre
Modern Theatre dance is a rhythmic dance style which originated in America before travelling to the rest of the world. It is often seen on the stages of musical productions and is known for its theatrical qualities. The style uses travelling steps, high kicks, leaps, and turns which all need strength and flexibility. This is a highly energetic dance style.
Hip-hop
Learn the basics of hip-hop in this fast paced, high energy class. Tutting, whacking, floor work and stalls are just some of the skills we practice. The funky music will have everyone bopping along. This groove class is perfect for kids with energy to burn!
Teen Combo
Recreational Teen Class that combines elements of Ballet, Lyrical, Jazz and hiphop. Great chance for the first-time dancer to try many different types of dance without a huge time commitment. This class is the ultimate dance party!
Dance Team
Dance Team is a technique and Choreography class for dancers who want to perform and train more than the recreational level offers. Class focuses on elements of ballet, modern, jazz and acro. Dance Team A&B students must be enrolled into at least 1 Modern Theatre Class. Solos, Duos, and Trios are ONLY available to dance team participants. This is NOT a competition team, as we are more focused on individual and team growth through performance and training. However, we may attend local competitions periodically IF they add value to the program.
