Ballet
A classical dance form of dance focusing on proper body alignment and fluid movement. Barre, center floor and across the floor progressive movements are all used to develop proper technique. Ballet is the foundation upon which most dance forms are based. Pre-Pointe supplements the training of junior and teen level dancers by incorporating exercises to strengthen one’s core, ankles and feet.
Jazz
Set to upbeat, popular music, this class combines stylized movement with technique. Jazz dance is based on ballet principles. Each class consists of warm-up using isolated movements, across the floor progressions, and current choreography.
Hip Hop
This popular, energetic form of dance allows dancers to perform with freedom of movement, adding in their own personalities. This class is inspired by today’s latest music and hippest trends in dance. Age appropriate Hip Hop music and movement is used for each class.
Modern/Contemporary

Dancers are also encouraged to explore their emotions and movement through improvisation. A strong ballet and jazz foundation enhances the quality of movement.
Tap
A style of dance using special shoes to create different rhythms and sounds. Tap is great for developing musicality and coordination skills.
