In these classes; geared towards our youngest dancers, our major goal is for
children to experience the joy of dance, enrich their skills, and learn to
appreciate this art. Students are familiarized with the structure of a dance class.
They are introduced to different rhythms and counts of music. Children learn
how to move and improvise with their bodies. We put a strong emphasis on
developing coordination and moving gracefully. Finally, students learn how to
use the space and become familiar with basic formations used in ballet and
jazz, all the while having lots of FUN!!!

Ballet
Ballet is the basis of a well rounded dance education. It helps children develop
co-ordination of mind and body, and nurtures the ability to focus, and maintain
intense concentration.
Ballet provides a strong foundation for all other forms of dance. Not only does it
aid, and enhance performance ability in other dance forms, it also provides
strength and control for gymnastics, skating, and all other sports.

due to its popularity on television shows, movies, music videos and

energetic. Jazz dancing is a form of dance that showcases a dancer's
individual style and originality. With its roots in traditional ballet technique, jazz
is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and
quick turns.

Tap
The name comes from the tapping sound made when the small metal plates
on the dancer's shoes touch a hard surface. This lively, rhythmic dance makes
the performer not just a dancer, but also a percussive musician! Tap can either
be done with music and follow the beats provided or without musical
accompaniment, otherwise known as a capella dancing. From broadway to
rhythm tap style; tap dance is fun!

Lyrical / Contemporary
Lyrical dance is a modern dance form which fuses modern dance, jazz, and
ballet. Lyrical dance is often referred to as contemporary dance. It requires
excellent technique to perform, as the moves are often difficult and precise.
Moreover, the dancer must be well aware of facial expressions, essentially
acting, to properly perform a lyrical dance piece.
