The technique of tap is a wonderful way to learn a sense of rhythm and coordination!
Tap is a rhythmic dance style that focuses on creating sounds and patterns through precise footwork and musicality. Students will learn fundamental tap techniques, steps, and combinations while developing timing, coordination, balance, and rhythm. All tap classes are designed to provide progress in easy stages from basic steps to more complex variations.
JAZZ CLASSES:
Warm-up, stretch and strengthen those muscles! Jazz is a dynamic and energetic dance style that combines strong technical training with expressive movement and performance. Students will develop proper body alignment, flexibility, strength, coordination, turns, jumps, and musicality through structured warm-ups, across-the-floor progressions, and engaging choreography.
Dancers will explore a variety of jazz styles and learn to perform with energy, expression, and individuality in a positive and supportive environment.
CLASSICAL BALLET CLASSES:
Classical Ballet is the foundation of all dance forms, emphasizing proper technique, strength, grace, discipline, and artistry. Students will develop correct body alignment, posture, flexibility, coordination, musicality, and balance through structured barre work, center exercises, and across-the-floor combinations.

Hip Hop is a high-energy dance class that encourages creativity, confidence, and self-expression through dynamic movement and age-appropriate choreography. Dancers will learn foundational hip hop techniques, grooves, footwork, isolations, and combinations while developing rhythm, coordination, strength, and musicality.
LYRICAL PERFORMANCE:
Lyrical is a form of jazz focusing on strength, fluidity, balance, extension and emotion. The choreography uses movement and expression to convey the meaning of the music. A strong ballet technique is recommended prior to entering into lyrical studies.
ACRO CLASSES:
Acro is an exciting style that combines the grace and technique of dance with the strength, flexibility, and athleticism of acrobatics. Students will learn foundational acro skills such as rolls, balances, handstands, cartwheels, bridges, and walkovers while developing proper technique in a safe and supportive environment.
