Hip Hop
Dancers come to Hip Hop for innovative and contemporary movement in an atmosphere of safe self-expression and fun! This dance form combines elements of various street dance styles, blending Old School, New School break dancing, and even jazz, performed to up beat, current, and popular music. Hip Hop is not limited to one style or technique. Variety in Hip Hop is a MUST!
Tap
Creating rhythms and sounds, tap dancing is truly unique. Tap dancers develop musicality, rhythm, quick thinking, and the ability to "hear" music. Tap is regarded as a truly American dance form that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Jazz
Studying Jazz is an exciting journey. Jazz relies on a dancer's classical training, yet pushes him/her to connect emotionally to music and movement. Jazz encompass technique and style, while introducing Theater Dance, Contemporary, Funky, African, and many more. Classes consist of floor stretches, turns, isolations, progressions, and combinations.
Ballet / Pointe
The ballet class is one of the most challenging, yet most gratifying classes that we offer. Giving students precise technique, ballet offers a lot more than what meets the eye. It is the foundation for many other dance forms. Ballet teaches alignment, placement, balance and elegance. If you are a student of dance and looking for a great class, try BALLET - and give yourself a chance to experience art in its purest form.
(Pointe for advanced Levels 2, 3 & 4 students only)

Lyrical dance is a fusion of ballet and jazz dance techniques. This form of dance challenges dancers to use motion to interpret music and express emotion.

Ballet Tech classes
Ballet Technique classes are the foundation for training and focus on developing a solid ballet technique with emphasis on understanding correct body placement, proper use of turn out, coordination of the upper body (epaulement), and use of arms (port de bras).
