Summer Class Schedule

Ages 3-5          55 minutes

These classes introduce young children to dance fostering good posture, grace, and musicality while encouraging creativity and self-expression through movement. Students ages 3-5 typically start in either a ballet/tap combo class or pre-ballet class. These classes feature simple singing and dancing routines used to help young students memorize dance moves, along with using props such as stuffed animals/baby dolls and magic wands.

Ages 6-Teen         1 Hour

These classes are a beginning to ballet and will introduce new steps, vocabulary, and emphasize correct body mechanics. They focus on fine-tuning technique and working on more advanced combinations, featuring a variety of turns, jumps, spins, leaps, extensions, and more. As students near the age of 12 and become more serious about pursuing ballet, they will begin to be evaluated for leveling up and being put en pointe.

Ages 12-18          90 min

This class focuses on proper execution of classical ballet training and technique, as well as specific strengthening for those on pointe. Class will consist of barre-work followed by stretching and then center and across the floor work. Combinations include working on various pirouettes, grand jetes, double and triple piques, fouette turns, petit allegro, and adagio, as well as many other traditional ballet moves.

Ages 6-Adult       60 min

Jazz is a performance-based style that focuses on a more modern and theatric version of the extensions and proper technique seen in ballet. These classes begin with warm ups to fun music, and combinations featuring turns, leaps, and other routines that emphasize spontaneous, fashionable, and dramatic movements full of character.

These classes are paired with tap, which is a style that focuses on quick, syncopated movement of the feet and making cool sounds!

Ages 5-18              1 hour

This class is an introduction to the world of "popping and locking". It's all about letting go and being loose with our body movements, while at the same time learning to control and isolate them. We encourage our dancers to step outside their comfort zones and learn new performative and technical skills, while learning how to hype up a crowd! Whether we go at a fast or slow tempo, Hip Hop is a style of dance that is full of character, attitude, and fun!

Ages 4-12               1 Hour

Taught by a former gymnast of 8 years, this class will teach students acro and tumbling tricks across the mats in a safe and supervised environment. Preceded by a detailed warm up, students will learn basic skills that will progress in difficulty depending on age and experience. Want to learn a back handspring or simply a cartwheel? Students will receive one-on-one time if the clock permits.

Ages 6-Adult                  1 Hour
Through this class, we aim to push our dancers and their movement in new directions. Our class is heavily focused on ballet technique and terminology such as pirouettes, jetés, battements, etc. Experimentation and improvisation also play a major role in this class, where we get to explore how our body moves through space, shifting weight, floor work, and overall movement control. Through across the floor exercises and various combos, this class encourages dancers to feel their movement from within and share that feeling through performance.
