Advanced dancers will find their class tailored to the individual dancer's needs by fine-tuning technique, giving advanced turn and jump combinations, and recommending personal goals. Ballet shoes required.

POINTE Ballet technique en pointe. Taught at Beg-Int level

ELEMENTARY COMBO (Grades K-3) In a combination of ballet, tap, and jazz, elementary-aged children will learn and then build on the basics in each style. Each class is a combination of barre work, across the floor, center floor combinations and technique. Suggested designations indicate age of dancer: A=Grades K-1 B=Grades 2-3

CONTEMPORARY Contemporary Dance is a feel-good, self-expression based movement. Dancers should have a basic knowledge of ballet technique and desire a quicker paced, choreography based class. Full warm up with technique training exercises, across the floor and a focus on the weekly combos.

HIP-HOP Have a fabulous time dancing to fun, age-appropriate hip hop music! Young dancers will stretch, learn weekly high energy, youth friendly combinations, and practice hip-hop isolations in a positive, nurturing environment!

JAZZ Classic jazz technique and combinations with tricks, leaps, and turns. Combinations focus on style, stage presence, and execution and continuously strengthen and sharpen movements. Soft-soled jazz shoes required.

TAP Stylized rhythmic tap with technique practice and weekly combinations. Tap shoes required.
