Class Descriptions

Ballet/Tap/Tumble 18 months- 2 years This class is for our itty bitty movers! Dancers will have fun learning pre-ballet and tap movements to children’s music through singing and movement games. Props such as bean bags, scarves, hula hoops, parachutes, and more will be used! Class sizes are kept very small to assure plenty of individual attention for our youngest dancers.

Ballet/Tap/Tumble 3-5 years This combination class is designed for students to express themselves through the art of dance. This class introduces students to ballet, tap, and basic tumbling skills through activities, movement games, and singing. Students will have fun learning basic ballet and tap terminology, as well as dancing with the use of props such as bean bags, scarves, hula hoops, parachutes, and more!

Hip hop Hip Hop is a high-energy class that includes the latest street dancing, popping, and locking. Classes will encourage students to step outside of their comfort zone by bringing their own individual styles and personality to the movements.

Ballet Students will learn classic ballet techniques and terminology. Each class will include barre, center, and across-the-floor work. As students progress techniques will get more complex and intricate.

Students will get the opportunity to explore various styles of jazz dance like Broadway, street, and contemporary jazz. Class includes a proper warm-up, stretches, isolations, across-the-floor progressions, and combinations.
