Ballet
Our Ballet classes enhance posture, flexibility, fitness, balance, self-discipline, and self-assurance. Dancers receive instruction in correct body positioning, alignment, barre exercises, center floor routines, and across-the-floor sequences. As students advance in age, the technique becomes progressively challenging and intricate.
Jazz Basics
In our Jazz classes, we blend classical ballet and modern dance techniques with contemporary dance styles. We place a significant focus on energy, rhythm, and style. Each session includes warm-up exercises, isolations, stretching routines, across-the-floor movements, and choreographed combinations.
Hip-Hop
Our Hip-hop classes offer a dynamic and high-energy dance experience, featuring the latest street and urban dance moves set to hip-hop music. It encompasses various street styles like breaking, locking, and popping. Specifically tailored for young dancers, the class emphasizes rhythm and coordination while fostering individual style.
Modern & Lyrical
In our Modern & Lyrical classes, we blend these two dance styles to provide a well-rounded understanding of both. In the Modern aspect, dancers will concentrate on contractions, spirals, fundamental floor techniques, and elemental principles of space, time, and force. They will also develop core strength and flexibility. In our Lyrical segment, the focus shifts to grace, fluidity, musicality, and expressiveness, enabling dancers to convey emotion through their movements.
Musical Theater Jazz
Step into the world of Broadway with our exhilarating Musical Theater Jazz class! Designed for dancers of all levels, this class combines the energy and technique of jazz dance with the storytelling and emotion of musical theater. Throughout the class, dancers will learn a variety of choreography inspired by iconic Broadway shows, from classic favorites to contemporary hits. Each combination is carefully crafted to challenge and inspire dancers while allowing them to express their creativity and develop your performance skills.

Leaps & Turns is a technique-focused class aimed at refining dancers' skills in the leaps, jumps, and turns characteristic of ballet and jazz dance. It serves as a dedicated platform for improving technique in executing these movements. Participation in ballet and/or jazz classes alongside Leaps & Turns is strongly encouraged to maximize progress.
