Predance
This is a creative movement class for ages 3 and 4.  The children learn basics in
ballet, tap, and jazz, but the class centers around the development of the child
through movement and adaptation to other children.  The class introduces
students to the basic elements of dance including locomotor movements (hopping,
skipping, jumping), beat and time, musical rhythm, simplified ballet steps,
coordination skills, left and right discrimination and patterns of movement.  

Ballet
This class is offered to ages 5 and up and is a classical form of dance that provides
a strong, solid technical base for all other dance forms. These very technical
classes consist of barre, center floor, and progressions across the floor.

Pointe
This class is an advanced form of ballet where the dancer is 'en pointe' (toes). The
student must be over the age of 11 with 4 or more years of ballet training.  The
instructor will decide when the student is ready for pointe work based on a list of
criteria that the student is required to meet.  The student must also continue to
stay enrolled in one or more ballet classes.

Jazz/Hip-Hop
This class is offered for ages 5 and up and is a fun, upbeat style of dance that
stems from ballet and combines today’s stylish moves with energetic, popular
music. Our jazz classes include traditional jazz as well as hip-hop.  Classes usually
begin with a warm-up, followed by technique, across the floor combinations and
choreography.

Tap
This class is offered for ages 5 and up and is great for developing rhythmic
coordination skills.  


Modern
This class is offered for ages 10 and up and is a style of theatrical dancing that is
not as restricted as classical ballet.  It is a freer form of movement that is expressive
of feelings.  Modern is considered interpretive dance allowing the body to
interpret certain feelings or emotions.
