| Classical Ballet | |
|---|---|
| Level: All levels from beginner to advanced. | |
| Ballet is the foundation of all dancing and is included in all of the combination classes starting from Tiny Tots all the way to Advanced Combo. Many different classes are available, including pointe work and multiple weekly classes. All Ballet classes are classically based and we offer a large selection of different classes, teachers and levels. Classes start at the 'barre', which supports the balance of the body while completing various combinations designed to increase strength, mobility and 'turn out' (a rotation of the entire leg outwards from the hip joint giving the distinctive 'classical line' associated with ballet and enabling the body to balance more efficiently). The discipline required for ballet develops a heightened sense of grace, poise, and technique needed to excel in other areas of dance. | |
| Christian and Classical music is used during all classes. | |
| Tap | |
| Level: All levels from beginner to advanced | |
|
Tap is included in all of the combination classes beginning with Tiny Tots
all the way to Advanced Combo. There is also a variety of different
tap classes throughout the week including beginner, intermediate and
advanced levels.
Tap dancing uniquely teaches rhythm and coordination while strengthening the feet and legs. Traditional style tap is taught in all of the classes, however “hoofin” and “jazz-tap” styles influence many of the intermediate and advanced level classes. Tap has proven to be a fun and entertaining discipline. | |
| Christian and Classical music is used during all classes. | |
| Jazz | |
| Levels: All levels from kindergarten to advanced | |
| Jazz is included in all of the combination classes from Kindergarten all the way to adult. We offer a strong foundation in traditional jazz dance that is the basis of many different jazz trends. Jazz consists of high-energy fast movements including isolations, stretches, and footwork.. All classes start with a warm-up and stretch, followed by movement across the floor and center combinations. | |
| Christian and Classical music is used during all classes. | |
| Pre Primary I & II | |
| Level: Ages 3 - 5 | |
| Pre Primary I & II introduces the primary curriculum of both ballet and tap genres while improving motor skills and development. The students leave with a solid foundation in ballet learning foot positioning, grace, and energetic choreography. | |
| Tiny Tots | |
| Levels: Ages 2 - 3 | |
| Much like Pre Ballet and Tap, Tiny Tots is offered for the dancer that wants a jump start into the dance world. The students are instructed in motor skills and development using the basic genres of ballet and tap. Creative movement and motivational songs encourage these young ones during this 45 minute class. | |
| Lyrical | |
| Levels: All levels from beginner to advanced. | |
| Lyrical combines strong ballet technique with freedom of movement and expression. Lyrical dance can also be described as a mix between ballet and slow jazz movements that combine to tell a story. This class includes balance, control, flexibility, and interpretation of music with dance. Lyrical dance is a powerful instrument in praise and worhip. | |
| Christian and Classical music is used during all classes. | |
| Pointe | |
| Levels: Placement only | |
| Pointe is the literal action of rising to the tips of the toes while performing steps from ballet technique. Pointe work is done using hard toed pointe shoes and requires considerable strength and skill. Children should not be allowed to go on pointe until the bones of their feet are fully developed--typically about the age of 11 or 12. | |
| Christian and Classical music is used during all classes. | |
| Hip Hop | |
| Hip-Hop is a very popular class combining jazz with the latest urban street styles. This class starts with a conditioning warm-up and teaches contemporary street dance. Cool choreography with style that sets this genre apart from any other. Hip Hop class is high energy and athletic atmosphere. | |
| Christian music is used during all classes. | |
| Praise Dance | |
| Levels: All levels from beginner to advanced | |
| Praise Dancing unites body movement and worship, often used in ministry settings and churches. The emphasis is on liturgical movement rather that high technique and skill levels. Many different props are used such as ribbons and tambourines. | |
| Clogging | |
| Levels: Beginner to Intermediate | |
| Clogging: Similar to tap, clogging consists of instruction in rhythm and coordination through double time stomping and tap steps resembling a tap dance. Fun and energetic, this class will encourage any age. | |
| Modern Dance | |
| Levels: Intermediate to Adult | |
| Modern dance is a style of dancing that is not as restricted as classical ballet; movements are expressive of feelings, complex emotions and abstract ideas. | |
