BALLET – Ballet is the basis of all performing arts dance. It is encouraged whether or not this is the dancers primary

interest. Ballet improves posture, balance, strength, flexibility and coordination. These skills will enable the child to

improve in many other activities such as sports, cheerleading, gymnastics and other dance styles. Please consider ballet as

a wonderful base for your child’s physical education.

JAZZ – A very popular form of dance because it includes so many varied styles. We try to give students a wide range of

choreography that might include Broadway style to hip-hop. We use pop music for warm-ups and many routines. Most

of the dance you see on TV is considered jazz as well as the dance teams at school. This class will help with coordination

and flexibility and would compliment other activities such as poms, cheerleading, tap, and stage musicals.

“Beginning Teen Class” for older beginniners – Grade 4 and up

TAP –“ Funky Tap” is the new direction tap dancing is going across the country. Although we continue to teach basic

steps and technique, we are putting them to new pop music with jazz moves for a more contemporary look. These classes

enhance rhythm and coordination. For flexibility, basic jumps and turns, tap students are recommended to also take a

jazz or ballet class.

dance style. Kids love this free form of movement done to interesting music such as ethnic, folk, percussion, new age,

etc. Strengthens upper body, improves balance and coordination.
