Dance Intro
A dance introduction class for young children 3-4 years old. This class teaches children some disciplined actions of dance, interaction with other children through the use of music and rhythm. Dance movements are based on ballet and jazz.
Ballet
Traditional classical training to music without lyrics. Ballet technique based on RAD with examinations with the CDTA. Most of our routines for recital and competition will be to lyrical music. Ballet is slower paced and suitable for any age.
Jazz
Technical dance training to modern music (dance, house, rap, and classical jazz). This is a fast paced class and is recommended for children over 5. Students can take exams with CDTA.
Hip Hop
Dance movements to modern music (as seen in dance videos) with no technical bases. This is stylistic and therefore suitable to older children and teens.
Tap
Jazz dancing with the use of tap shoes to make rhymes with the feet. It is recommended that students have taken some dance before or are taking jazz or ballet as well. Exams are available for older students. Tap takes a lot of coordination and is suitable for students 6 and older.
Musical Theatre
This class uses drama exercises to increase performance ability. Focus is on lip syncing and dancing rather than singing. Suitable for over age 7 as some reading of scripts is necessary.
Modern
A technical dance technique which uses body expressions and rhythms for performance. A mature attitude is needed to understand fall and release or contractions of the body. Suitable for ages 11 and over.
Acro
The combination of floor gymnastic movements and dance to music. Suitable for children 5 years and older who have strong motor skills, strength and flexibility.
Point
This is ballet technique up on the full point of toes rather than on the ball of foot, done in special shoes. For students with at least 2 years of ballet experience and over 11 years of age.
