Ballet This classical style is taught at all levels and is a great beginning place for any dancer. Ballet is a graceful, structured form of dance where the steps are built upon year after year. The students learn the proper French names for movement as well as the English translation. Ballet gives a dancer strength, flexibility, focus and coordination, and is the foundation of the dance world. *Ages 3-5 (no experience); Ages 4-6 (1+ years experience). Tap The world of tap is full of magical rhythm and sounds. Tap dancing focuses more on the feet and what they can do instead of using the whole body to tell the story. Tap compliments ballet nicely for students because it works on the fine motor skills of the feet. Tap is also a progressive style of dance where you build on what you have learned. Jazz Jazz is a more energetic, free-flowing style of dance. Students can begin jazz at the age of seven and may find some similarities between it and ballet. Not as slow-moving as ballet, jazz takes the same steps from ballet and incorporates them into its own style. Lyrical A combination of jazz and ballet techniques; emphasizes storytelling through graceful movements that interpret the lyrics and emotions of the song. Hip Hop Hip hop blends the rhythm of jazz and jazz funk with high-energy movement, set to the latest age-appropriate hits. Students have the freedom to incorporate their own personal style with every step. Adult Tap/Jazz Whether you want to shake off the work day or or learn fun choreography to some of your favorite music Adult dance offers a fun, judgement-free environment for those new to dance and those wanted to get back into it. You’ll learn fun steps to while building strength, rhythm and confidence.
