 Acro

Acro is a combination of dance and gymnastics. At this level is an intro to basic gymnastics skills and elements (i.e. forward rolls, handstands, cartwheels, as well as gymnastics games set to music). Dancers will also work on flexibility and strength! As always, the class will progress to more challenging skills based on each student’s ability!

Ballet is the foundation of all forms of dance. In ballet, the focus is on posture, gracefulness, body placement, footwork, turns, jumps, and leaps.

Project Broadway

Musical Theatre  allows dancers to become characters through their dancing –  we use musicals from both broadway and movies to inspire our classes. For example, students learn about Chicago, Fosse, Wicked, Hairspray, West Side Story, Annie, High School Musical, Cinderella, the Sound of Music and many many more! Sometimes we even take a song we love and create our own characters and storyline!

Lyrical & Contemporary

Lyrical dance is a wonderful way for dancers to learn to truly express themselves as artists. We tell stories of love, sadness, friendship and hope through this genre. Lyrical is a combination of the techniques learned in ballet, jazz and modern. Choreography encompasses the use of balance, flexibility and control utilizing the lyrics and feeling of the music. In level 6 & 7, we also work on Contemporary Dance techniques too – which a real combination of all genres of dance and allows the choreographer (and subsequently his/her students’) to create truly unique ways of moving.
