energetic style of music to get the dancer moving. Floor work will be

dancer. This is a great way of having two classes in one. Leather ballet
shoes are required for this class. LEATHER BALLET SHOES, PINK LEOTARD,

BALLET PROGRAMS
Ballet
(Elementary to Advanced)
Ballet is the foundation of all dance forms. Our program is based on
the Royal Academy Of Dance Syllabus with elements of other ballet styles
to ensure a well rounded dancer. With each level of advancement, students
increase the frequency of study in order to build artistry and technique.
Students will be challenged in their studies to help push them to progress
in their classes. Mastery of certain skills as well as hourly requirements
must be met for advancement. Students will be instructed to follow proper
ballet etiquette in every class
Pre-Pointe
(Instructor placement only)
Dancers will continue to strengthen the musculature needed for the strenuous
activity of dancing on pointe. This is the time for students to gain
muscle awareness in their legs and core, which will be needed for pointe
work.
Pointe/Variation
(Instructor placement only)
Training En Pointe begins only after strong, consistent technique is
developed, and feet, legs and back have sufficiently matured. Class
will consist of proper technique in class work before beginning to learn
classical variations. Concurrent ballet training is required.
DANCE PROGRAMS
Tap Dance
Elementary to Advanced
Traditional techniques are taught with an introduction of a variety
of styles. Tap dancing develops a dancer's rhythm and timing, enhances
flexibility and strength in the knees and ankles, and creates in the
dancer greater coordination, speed and virtuosity.
Jazz Dance
Elementary to Advanced
A very "American" form of dance based originally on jazz music. Jazz
incorporates elements of ballet while emphasizing bodyline and a flexible
torso, rhythm awareness, isolations and fast, accurate footwork. Concurrent
ballet training is highly recommended.
Hip-Hop
Levels A and B
Hip-hop class is a fun alternative form of dance. Training will include
recreational dance, funk, pop-in and locking, and break dancing, with
a focus on terminology and technique. This class is aimed at giving
students an understanding of what Hip Hop is, enabling students to build
a more powerful repertoire for self expression.
Modern/Improvisation
Beginner-Intermediate to Advanced
In modern, students will be given the chance to further explore expression
and freedom of movement in dynamic way. Techniques that will be taught
in class are Martha Graham, Jose Limon, and Lester Horton. Improvisation
activities will be implemented into the class, to help stimulate individuality
and creativity. Previous or concurrent ballet training required.
Contemporary Dance
Beginner-Intermediate to Advanced
Contemporary dance employs systems and methods found in modern dance
and postmodern dance. Contemporary dance draws on modern dance techniques
as well as newer philosophies of movement that depart from classical
dance techniques by altogether omitting structured form and movement.
Acrobatics
Elementary, Level A, Level B
Students will learn all forms of tumbling/acrobatics, gain strength
and work on flexibility. Each student is encouraged to work to his/her
own potential.
