Dance classes consist of 30-45 minutes of instruction from basic and beginner levels to advanced.
The most classic and often serious dance form, "Ballet" teaches young dancers the most rudimentary terms and techniques and is monumentally important for all dancers to establish and maintain proper form. Our "Ballet" classes include intensive barre work, center exercises, patterns in movement across the floor, both allegro and adagio combinations and our students will be fluent in the terminology they have learned.
"Pointe" is the most advanced form of Ballet and can, only be taught to the more advanced dancers. The distinguishing characteristic of this style is that the dancers perform all the steps completely on the tops of their toes, which can be painful for the performer, but appears lovely and graceful from the audience. Our "Pointe" class includes intensive amounts of barre work, ankle strengthening, center turn preparations, and patterns across the floor, and an extensive knowledge of terminology.
"Tap" is a percussive style of dance. Special shoes are worn by tap dancers to create various rhythms on the floor. While the rest of the body is still crucial to this art form, and general balance and grace are important, the fundamental characteristic of "Tap" is the sound it creates. Our "Tap" classes include tap-barre, center exercises, tap-turns both center and across the floor, and extensive rhythm, tap technique and terminology which will greatly enhance their coordination skills.
This style of dance is not always performed to "Jazz" music, but can often use the popular music of today. Combining the basic techniques of ballet with the more modern steps found in pop and Broadway, "Jazz" is an upbeat, stylish, and versatile dance form. Our "Jazz" classes include intensive strengthening warm ups, stretching techniques to elongate and encourage muscle strength, across the floor movements, leaps, turns and center combination work to fun and upbeat, recognizable music.
Lyrical dance is a fusion of ballet and jazz dance techniques. Lyrical dance challenges choreographers and dancers to use motion to interpret music and express emotion. The lyrics of a song are the driving force for the inspiration of the movement. Choreography is often emotional, gripping and delicate all at the same time. Movements in Lyrical dance are characterized by their fluidity and grace. Leaps are executed high and with a soaring quality; turns are airy and flowing.
