TAP — percussion based dance by using the sounds of metal taps affixed to the heel and toe of shoes striking the floor; intricate rhythms and weight shifting ovements make this a favorite style of manye
BALLET — a classical dance form demanding grace and precision and employing formalized steps and gestures set in intricate, flowing patterns. A foundation of all dance styles, ballet is always a recommended style with which to start
JAZZ — a style of dance characterized by syncopation, improvisation and forceful rhythm. One of our most popular styles we offer starting in 1st grade.
HIP HOP — a range of street styles primarily performed to hip hop music and although not as much technique is taught, it’s a great alternative to jazz and very popular
LYRICAL — a mixture of ballet, jazz and contemporary technique. A strong ballet background is helpful but not required. Movements are fluid and graceful while also being strong and expressive. New for 2023-2024: we’re also offering this style as young as 3rd grade!
MODERN/CONTEMPORARY — modern and contemporary dance focus on serious expression of inner emotions, using a free-flowing, interpretive style rather than rigid rules of many other styles. We offer modern as young as 1st grade!
ACRO — new for 2023-2024 we are offering acro for dance. We have two levels of this class and enrollment in level 2 requires teacher permission after successful mastering of level 1. We’ll focus on basic acro movements, strength training and flexibility while also learning intermediate and advanced dance based tricks (see more info below)
