Our Classes

TINY MOVERS

Tiny Movers classes introduce young dancers, ages 2-3, to basic concepts of movement. Students will gain confidence and coordination as they practice gross motor skills such as hopping and skipping. Dancers will learn ballet fundamentals while reviewing colors, counting, shapes, and much more. Children will love this high energy class!

TAP

Tap classes challenge student's musicality, ankle strength, and sense of rhythm. Classes incorporate center drills, movements across the floor, and combinations. Students will gain greater understanding of timing and musicality while moving quickly and precisely.

CREATIVE ARTS

Creative Arts classes introduce young dancers, ages 3-7, to concepts of movement in ballet, tap, and jazz. They will build technique, strength, and flexibility through creative expression.

BALLET

Ballet is a technical art form that is the foundation for many other styles of dance. Combining traditional barre work, center work, and combinations, each ballet class will challenge students balance, strength, and flexibility.

CONTEMPORARY

Contemporary dance, for ages 8 and up, helps dancers explore movement and artistic expression. By using improvisation, traditional modern techniques, and combinations, contemporary helps dancers reach their full potential of movement quality.
