Descriptions of Classes

Acro/Tumbling: These are done with just floor mats. We suggest the study of ballet with this class, as it gives the child a stronger foundation to execute the moves required for physical strength and technique.

Ballet: Most all dance comes from ballet. It teaches students the correct disciplines of dance, ballet positions, body alignment and center body work, as well as terminology.

Kids Hip-Hop & Jam: is a combo class that includes a little tumbling, jazz and hip hop dance. A fast moving fun class for the child who wants to go fast!

Hip-Hop: The beginning class is an introduction to basic street dance and learning to count to the beat and how to move the entire body “loosely” to the beat of funky music. Intermediate and advanced are more challenging. These classes work only dances and steps are added on each week. It is fast-paced and weekly attendance is important!

Jazz: Whether it be classical, contemporary, urban or modern, ballet technique is a plus. All jazz classes have a center warm-up, down the floor combinations and exercises to strengthen the body. Try each one and decide what movements and music will make your jazz class appealing to you.  Watch for our Kids Kool Jazz and Hot/Cool Jazz classes coming this fall.

Mommy & Me: Tumbling and/or pre-ballet and tap in which Mom gets involved helping his or her little one learn along with the teacher. Good exercise for Mom too!

Tap: This type of dance uses special shoes to make various rhythms and sounds. An art form that originated from the Spanish gypsy flamenco dance and transported to this country to become what it is today - Fast and furious or smooth and graceful, there are no boundaries here!  Classes to look for:  "Tap Those Feet" and "Tap Tap - Boom."

Kids' Theater Workshop: This class involves movement (for those who do not want a dance class) and singing and acting out theater games that build self-confidence and self-esteem. A fun-packed hour where children learn the excitement and enchantment of performing and being comfortable on stage.
