class descriptions
lyrical & contemporary
Lyrical and Contemporary are newer styles to the dance world and have become increasingly popular because of shows like So You Think You Can Dance. These styles are a combination of Ballet and Jazz and often access more emotional topics and tell a deep story. These styles are also incredibly athletic and involve more floor work.
Ballet & advanced ballet
Ballet is the foundation of all dance. The technique learned in this class can and will be carried into all other styles the dancers take on. It is important to the success of all dancers to enroll in this class and take it seriously to improve as a dancer overall.
**Advanced Ballet- Previous experience is required. Placement in class is at the instructor’s discretion.**
stretch & strength
This class is for serious dancers taking more than four hours of class per week. This class will focus on the specific strength and stretch dancers need to succeed in their classes. It will help tone and build muscle to accomplish more intricate steps and build endurance.
pre-pointe
Pointe is an advanced style of dance and is an extension of Ballet training. Dancers hoping to take this class will be required to take at least TWO ballet classes a week and will need to be evaluated before registration for the class will be approved.
