Rhythm & Tumbling

Age 3 & 4

(Must be potty-trained.)

Rhythm and Tumbling is perfect to help little ones prepare for other dance classes like Ballet, Jazz, etc. then learn how to behave in dance class. Along with easier acro movements such as somersaults, bridges, kick-ups and more. They also learn basic dance steps that are used in most dance styles!

​

Class is Monday 5:30-6:30

Ballet

Beginner

Intermediate

Advanced

Ages 4-18

As the basis for almost all other dance styles, Ballet offers the technique needed in styles such as Jazz & Lyrical/Contemporary. Having a good foundation in technique helps a dancer to perform movements in all styles properly. It also assists in flexibility, muscle strength/tone, and posture. We offer different levels of Ballet in a variety of ages. Private lessons are available upon request, for any age including adults.

​

Level 1 Classes:

Mini Tuesday 6:00-7:00

Junior and Teen Wednesday 7:00-8:00

​

Lyrical/Contemporary

Lyrical:Ages 9 and up

Contemporary: 9+

By merging Ballet and Jazz, you have a more fluid/quicker dance style. Though it's not as fast as Jazz, it is smoother and quicker than Ballet. Being more emotion oriented, the dancer focuses on expressing feelings through movement rather than performing structured choreography such as Ballet. Lyrical will follow a Ballet class, the technique taught  in Ballet will then be applied in Lyrical.

​

Open Contemporary class (all ages)

Monday 4:30-5:30

Lyrical-contact us for times

Pointe

Ages 12 & up

(unless the student has been approved by a Doctor and teacher to start sooner.)

Once a dancer has strengthened their ankles and feet through the training of Ballet technique classes, and they are of proper ability as seen fit by the teacher, students are put en pointe. This advanced form of Ballet takes balance and proper technique to ensure all movements are performed properly while en pointe. We offer beginner and advanced classes. Pointe is usually following a Ballet/Lyrical class.

Tap

Ages 5 & up

Tap is a form of dance that focuses on using your feet to create sounds that rhythmically match or compliment the music. Here they'll work on getting individual steps as well as combinations of steps. We recommend starting Tap no younger than 7 years of age, as this class requires more focus/listening skills than many other styles. This style also needs more skill in balance as many steps are performed on one foot. We offer different levels of classes for a variety of ages. This includes an adult Tap class!
