CLASSES

BALLET

The beginner ballet class is one of the most rewarding classes for someone starting dance. Ballet is the foundation for many other dance forms, such as jazz, tap, and even hip-hop. Ballet teaches alignment, placement, balance and elegance.

CLOGGING

Clogging is a truly American dance form that began in the Appalachian Mountains and now enjoys widespread popularity throughout the United States and around the world.

Clogging is a percussive dance. Dancers wear shoes that have double taps and beat out rhythms with their feet. Clogging was traditionally done to bluegrass music, but is now danced to all types of music, including country, pop, and hip-hop and has its roots in Irish, English, African and Cherokee dance.

LYRICAL

Lyrical classes interpret the words of a song through movement, and the technique used is a combination of ballet and modern. The Lyrical dance style has its primary basis in ballet, combining the many technical elements of classical ballet with the freedom, fluidity, expressiveness and airier aspects of jazz, contemporary and modern dance.

JAZZ

Jazz dance first appeared on the dance scene in the early 1900s in New Orleans and gained in popularity through the 1950s. It incorporates many of the same elements as ballet, including leaps and turns, while combining sharp rhythmic moves to upbeat music.

TAP

Tap classes build from the basic tap steps to complex syncopated rhythm patterns, and several tap styles. The class begins with with basic tap terminology as well as technique and build from there.

HIP-HOP

From R&B and House to Club and Pop, Hip Hop classes utilize upbeat music from various genres, in addition to the latest Hip Hop hits.

The resulting outcome is an energetic class that not only teaches you Hip Hop movements and technique but also instills rhythm and precision.
