We are justifiably proud of our classes and curriculum, which are positioned to inspire, motivate, and educate today’s dance students at a world-class level.
Ballet
A classical form which develops grace, poise, and posture, while at the same time developing muscle tone and control. Students are taught the fundamentals and language of Ballet in an atmosphere of warmth and discipline.
Jazz
A free style of dance that incorporates street dance. It redefines and reinvents many early jazz dances and movements, backed up by popular music.
Tap
Tap dancing is a style of dance where the dancer wears special shoes with metal plates, “taps,” on the heels and toes. The dancer creates rhythmic sounds by striking the floor using their feet, almost like a percussion instrument. Tap is especially important for young dancers because it builds musicality and rhythm and improves coordination and motor skills.
Kinderballet
Based on a class of 45 minutes, the programs are designed for the youngest students stressing coordination, motor skill development, musical awareness and listening skills.
Pointe
Pointe technique is the part of classical ballet technique that concerns pointe work, in which a ballet dancer supports all body weight on the tips of fully extended feet within pointe shoes.
Contemporary
Contemporary is a genre of dance borrowing from classical ballet, modern and jazz styles. It employs contract release, floorwork, fall and recovery and improvisation.
An essential element of the learning process for every dancer is actual stage experience. Therefore, the school’s nine months of dance education includes December’s performance of The Nutcracker and culminates with May’s student recital production.
Classical Ballet instruction with an emphasis on Pointe work, Jazz, Tap, Hip-Hop and Modern. Our Kinderballet classes, beginning at age 2 1/2, gives the children the gift of personal fulfillment by teaching them how to learn, explore and discover the fun and magic of dance.
