CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Join Our Dance Community
BALLET AND POINTE
Ballet is the most important dance fundamental and provides the necessary technical foundation, quality of movement and artistry, which supports most genres of dance.
Pointe is a specialized ballet training that requires the proper development of muscles in order to prevent injuries and ensure success. Enrollment in this class is at the discretion of the teacher and students must meet a minimum ballet class requirement.
JAZZ LYRICAL AND CONTEMPORARY
Jazz dance is an American dance form which evolves and changes with the latest popular styles. Students work on placement and technique while also learning popular dances and current dance styles. This class consists of floor stretches, flexibility and balancing skills, leaps, turns and dance combinations. Jazz students are also encouraged to study ballet.
Lyrical incorporates the technical elements of ballet with jazz and modern movements. Students will learn how to express a wide range of emotions through their dance based on musical interpretation.
Contemporary is an extremely artistic style of dance. It is a fusion of ballet, jazz, and modern dance, and usually contains an emotional journey, or story. There is a lot of creative freedom when it comes to contemporary dance.
HIP HOP AND POP, DROP & ROLL
Hip Hop is a street style of dance that focuses on self-expression and movement that involves the whole body. Hip Hop focuses on techniques of gliding, popping, locking, breaking and whacking. Hip-Hop is perfect for the beginning or advanced student who has the desire to participate in a less structured dance form which does not require knowledge or training in classical technique.
Pop, Drop and Roll is a Bubble Gum Style Hip Hop that is fun and upbeat to popular pop music combined with Acro, (short for acrobatics). Students learn acrobatic movements to be incorporated with dance such as backbends, handstands, cartwheels, front and back walkovers, aerials & contortion.
LEAPS & TURNS AND ACRO/TUMBLING
Leaps and Turns class will dissect these two technical movements: teaching basic building blocks to master a variety of turns and leaps which are used in jazz and in choreography. Great emphasis will be placed on the body’s center, from which all movements begin and end, making it possible to maintain balance and control while executing turns, high extensions and powerful leaps. Spotting techniques will be studied to properly execute a variety of turns to reduce the dizzying effect of repeated rotation.
Acro/Tumbling includes flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, discipline & concentration. This class will focus on fundamental acrobatic technique. Students will learn such things as handstands, chin stands, elbow stands, cartwheels, back bends, walkovers, balance, & contortion tricks.
FLEXIBILITY, STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING
Flexibility, Strength and Conditioning will improve flexibility, body alignment, and strength. This class trains in cardio, builds strength by isolating specific muscle groups, and uses stretching to become a well-rounded athlete. Take this class to improve cardiovascular stamina, strength and flexibility. This class is recommended not only to cross train dancers, but athletes of any sport.
