Dance Programs

Preschool Dance Program (Kindergarten Dance)
Ages 3 - 5 . Our Preschool Class is an introduction to dance in ballet and tap. The primary goal is to foster a love of movement. The creative component is quite large. Several fun or special activities happen in each class. Taking part in dancing out a narrative helps children to understand that dancing is expression. It is a means of communicating feelings and actions. The vocabulary covered are all steps which a 3 year old can master and they build self-confidence. Class length is 45 minutes, 1 time per week.

Hip Hop

Hip Hop I-II
This beginner program allows student to take the 2 most popular forms of dance in one class. The Hip Hop I-II class teaches fundamental jazz steps and combines the element of hip hop moves and contemporary music. We have found that the combination of jazz and hip hop is ideal for this age. Students learn the necessary elements of jazz which are crucial to success in hip hop, but also get to learn hip hop moves which require the coordination and balance learned from jazz. When students complete this class they are ready to progress to the next level which introduces more complex moves and routines. Class length is 45 minutes, 1 time per week.

Hip Hop III
These are introductory hip hop classes for 9-12 year old and 13-17 year old students that are just starting hip hop. The 9-12 year old or teen students are developed and coordinated enough to learn the hip hop moves and routines without any jazz training or background. Class length is 45 minutes, 1 time per week.

Combination Classes
In this introductory class students learn the tap and ballet fundamentals and work on a routine for the year end show. Classes are set up for ages 5-6 years, 7-10 years, and teen classes. Class length is 45 minutes, 1 time per week.

Adult Classes

Ladies Jazz & Tap
