Classes
We offer dance classes for boys and girls, ages 3 and up, held in a nurturing, creative environment...descriptions below…

For ages 3-5 years old... Creative Dance is a combination of either ballet and tumbling, or ballet and tap, depending on the class chosen. This 45 minute class is playful yet structured, taught by patient, nurturing instructors. Utilizing many props and our most creative imaginations, we jump, balance and twirl our way toward more developed coordination, greater confidence, improved counting skills, and classroom etiquette (such as listening skills, taking turns, forming a line, etc.).

For 2 1/2—3 1/2 year olds...Gym n’ Play is a ballet and tumbling class in preparation for Creative Dance as structured above. This 30 minute class involves both dancing and tumbling (basic rolls and other coordination activities) while learning to follow basic instruction, and develop good listening skills. A fun way to develop future classroom skills and etiquette! This class is offered in short term sessions, once or twice during the year…call the studio for specific info!

Classical Ballet…(for ages 6 and up, and in Creative Dance classes, as described above) Our ballet classes follow a creatively structured syllabus, following traditional barre and center exercises. The syllabus is designed to create a solid technique, developing grace, balance, strength, and flexibility, as well as musicality and the ability to express oneself onstage.

Pointe…Available to students who, after several years of training, have demonstrated strength through the lower back, feet, and legs. Must attend a minimum of three classes per week.

Tap…(for ages 6 and up, and in Creative Dance classes, as described above) A fun and lively dance form, tap dance is excellent for increasing coordination, developing rhythm, timing, and musical expression.

HipHop/Jazz…(for ages 6 and up) HipHop/Jazz is a very popular style of dance, especially with teens, using top 40 music. Both music and costumes used in performance are age-appropriate, and the kids love both! This class is very beneficial to those wishing to try out for cheerleading or dance/drill teams alike!
