Grow with Me

An introductory movement class designed with the specific needs of a two year old in mind. Our class will use parent participation to help orient the child to the classroom, while encouraging their natural movement. When each class is ready, they will no longer require the aid of their parents (usually after about six months).

Jumpin’ Beans

An enticing class for little ones designed to introduce young students to movement. In each class we’ll read stories, create small drama scenes and play dress-up too! Lots of fun and action. Age appropriate activities to help with concentration!

Mini Movers & Kids in Motion

A specially designed class where students develop a broad range of movement skills enhancing co-ordination, rhythm and creativity. Kids have fun learning to explore space, time and energy in dance through music, stories, props and class interaction. This brain-compatible approach to dance leads children naturally in the study of many other dance forms.

Pre-Ballet

Pre-ballet is a gentle lead-in to ballet which introduces more technique while still employing the creative vehicles of Creative Movement.

Rhythm Kids

A great new introduction to pre-tap skills! Should be taken in conjunction with Creative Movement/Ballet classes for proper skill development. Students with learn rhythm and music skills using basic Orf instruments, tap shoes will be introduced as students progress!

Boyz in the House

Designed with the active young man in mind! All the basics of dance presented in a way that makes it more appropriate for boys. Hip Hop and Jazz basics introduced as well as Creative Movement components.

Students studying jazz, tap and/or musical theatre are encouraged to take ballet in conjunction with their chosen dance discipline. This will help to develop a strong overall technique.

Ballet

Ballet is an exciting, inspiring art form that teaches students the beauty of dance and movement. Through ballet classes, students develop the balance, poise, flexibility, strength, discipline and confidence required not just for dance but for every day healthy living. Classes for young people are offered from beginner through advanced. Senior students may progress to pointe work (at the teacher’s discretion).

Modern

Modern is a synthesis of ballet and jazz, emphasizing technique, body placement, body alignment and performance quality. Dancers explore basic modern principles of movement, learn Bartinieff fundamentals, rhythmic structures and contemporary choreography.

Tap

Tap, one of the most stylish and rhythmic dance forms of all time, is a fun way to exercise and is terrific for developing co-ordination and fitness. Your feet become musical instruments!

Jazz

Jazz is a blend of dance styles featuring energetic, expressive and rhythmical motion with funky and lyrical styles. This popular and dynamic dance style improves co-ordination and flexibility. Students learn technique as well as combinations set to current music in a fast-paced, challenging and fun environment.

Musical Theatre

Musical Theatre classes introduce student to a blend of acting, singing and dancing, often called the triple threat of performing. Students round out performance skills by rehearsing and performing excerpts from musicals, gaining self-confidence in the process of putting all three theatre skills together. Students work with a choreographer and a vocal instructor. For Intermediate and Senior M.Theatre, students must be enrolled in at least one other dance class.

**NEW** Introductory Musical Theatre includes the dance component and is open to students 7 years and up!

Hip Hop

Hip Hop is a contemporary form of dance which incorporates jazz, street and funk styles. This is a high energy, fun class to let yourself loose in. The Hip Hop styles can be seen in many of the latest music videos.

Lyrical

Lyrical is a style of dance in which there is interpretation through sustained extensions and expressive emotion. It relies on a direct relationship between the lyrics of various songs and specific dance movements. It also tells a story through dance and combines classical ballet, modern and jazz technique. This class helps develop strength, flexibility and balance with a strong ballet base.
