Leveled Classes
Leveled classes are for the experienced dancer aged 9 and older wishing to make dance a priority over other types of activities they may be involved with. These classes are for dancers wanting to be in the studio a little more time each week with more focused technique. We have level 3 for ages 9-11, level 4 for ages 11-13 and level 5 for ages 14 and up in Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical/Contemporary & Pointe.
Hip Hop
Our hip hop classes are fun, fast paced, and always age appropriate in music and movement. We have five levels of hip hop classes for ages 4 and up.
Lyrical/Contemporary
We offer Lyrical/Contemporary classes for ages 5 and up. Lyrical is a slow, expressive type of dance that incorporates ballet technique. This dance style’s main goal is to interpret the lyrics of the song through movement. Contemporary dance is a dance style that rejects many of the strict rules of classical ballet but while maintaining a ballet base, while focusing on the expression of inner feelings, emphasizing creativity in choreography and performance.
Acrobatics and Stretch & Strengthen
We offer acrobatic and stretch & strengthen classes for beginner to advanced levels ages 6 and older. Our “acro” classes encourage flexibility, balance, body control, and strength. Our stretch & strengthen classes focus on the body’s center, from which all movements begin and end, making it possible to maintain balance while executing high extensions and graceful powerful movements
Stretch & Strengthen ages 8-12 & Acro Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4
