Class is in Session.

In technique class, dancers have the opportunity to refine the technical aspects they learn in their other classes. This includes working on flexibility, turns, leaps, and other technical skills tailored to each dancer's specific needs. The class focuses more on training than on performance and is beneficial for dancers of all ages and dance styles. It is mandatory for Team Members.

Ballet is one of the oldest dance styles. It is based on a vocabulary and technique that focuses on strength, mobility, and grace. Ballet is the foundation for most styles of dance. Classes combine stretching, barre exercises, and center technique work. Ballet is one of the most disciplined dance styles and provides a deep foundation for any dancer. It is required for team members.

An advanced form of classical ballet training is open to those with several years of ballet experience, where the dancer supports all body weight on the tips of fully extended feet when wearing pointe shoes. This class is by invitation only due to the nature of the discipline and the effort it requires reserved for those 11 years of age (minimum) and older.  We require a pre-pointe season to ensure the dancers are ready for this next level.  Other factors that weigh the decision to start pointe work are desire to learn, commitment level, alignment, strength, technical ability, and facility.

Hip Hop, originally a form of street dance, has become a popular way to get active, have fun, and learn performance elements of this specific genre. Our Hip Hop classes combine a warm-up, grooves, across-the-floor exercises, and fun dance combos that challenge the dancers. This hard-hitting and powerful form of dance is a great way to let energy out while learning new tricks or working on old ones! 

Tap is a traditional style of dance that focuses on musicality and rhythm. In the first levels, dancers learn basic tap skills and terminology and build on those movements as they progress in the genre. Fundamental skills such as balance and general alignment are important aspects mastered in tap class.

Lyrical dance combines elements of ballet and jazz while focusing on musicality, emotion, and storytelling through movement. Dancers will continue building technique while learning how to connect their movement to the music and express themselves with confidence.

Improv gives dancers the freedom to move without set choreography. It encourages creativity, individuality, and confidence while helping dancers explore different ways to interpret music and express emotion through movement.

Our dance-focused acro and tumbling classes teach flexibility, balance, strength, and coordination by combining dance technique and tumbling skills. Agility and posture will be a focus as we safely instruct dancers on the acro moves they need to take their training step-by-step in this genre. Prerequisites are required for specific levels, and each dancer develops at their own rate: differentiating skill sessions within one class is common in this genre.

This class is designed to improve a dancer’s range of motion, enhance muscle flexibility, heighten a dancer’s balance, teach students how to utilize their strength and increase their control while they dance, and, by improving range of motion and muscle flexibility, enhance dancers' flexibility, balance, strength, and control during performances.

This class focuses on building the strength, flexibility, and control dancers need to improve their overall technique. Students will work on core strength, balance, stability, and proper stretching techniques to help increase mobility, prevent injury, and support stronger movement in all styles of dance.

Leaps & Jumps is designed to help dancers improve their power, height, control, and technique in a variety of jumps and leaps. Students will work on proper preparation, alignment, flexibility, and landings while building the strength needed to execute these skills safely and confidently.

Broadway Basics introduces dancers to the energetic and expressive style of musical theatre dance. Students will work on jazz-based movement, performance quality, facial expressions, character work, and storytelling while learning how to bring choreography to life on stage.
