Class Descriptions

Ballet / Tap (Age 4-8) Students are introduced to basic ballet terms and movements during an active and fun warm-up performed to a variety of classical masterpieces. During the second part of class tap shoes become percussion instruments as dancers practice steps that are then choreographed into repeating patterns. Rhythm, sequencing, coordination, and creative expression are emphasized through out class.

Ballet / Modern(Age 8-12) Students become familiar with both a classical ballet and modern warm up, which alternate week to week. Class works on choreography from both dance genres, and has the opportunity to choreograph phrases of movement in small groups and alone. Technique and creative expansion are equally important components of this class work.

Ballet (Adult) Class warms up with a 45 minute classical ballet barre, followed by floor or barre stretch. In center, adagio students practice control and examine line and form. A variety of turns, jumps, and leaps are introduced and performed in short combinations to a wide selection of classical and new age music.

Modern Dance(Adult) Students warm up from the core outward; developing strong supple backs, open loose hips, articulate feet, and a good relationship to breath and energy flow. Class works on choreography that travels, challenges balance, creates body rhythms, plays with gravity, and allows for creative expression in each individual dancer.

Tap (Age 7 - 11) Students are introduced to tap vocabulary in a series of warm up combinations that are repeated and built upon week to week. Class also works on a dance choreographed to hone technique and develop performance skills.
