Ballet is an important part of a dancer's overall training – it's the root and foundation of all other dance forms. In ballet class, students will be instructed on proper body placement, balance, flexibility, alignment and technique, achieved both through barre and floor work.

Tap is a great dance class for all ages, especially the young ones. Tap involves creative movement and sounds of the feet as well as fun and expressive ways to let loose. Tap class develops musicality, rhythm and coordination. Proper execution is the key to perfecting each sound.

Jazz incorporates techniques and dance moves from a variety of dance styles ranging from contemporary to lyrical – jazz funk incorporates a bit of hip hop as well. Exciting music is usually played during class and the movements are imaginative and expressive. High kicks, leaps and turns are just a few of the moves these classes teach. Jazz is appropriate for ages seven and above, and to excel, dancers need a strong foundation in ballet, as it requires grace, balance and muscle control.

Lyrical dance is a unique combination of ballet and jazz with expressive movements that tell a story. Lyrical dance focuses on emotion and self-expression through proper dance technique. Our lyrical dance classes are recommended for Level 2- Adv. students . Ballet  is required with this class.

The  Pointe Program has been a solid and successful feature for many years – our dancers are amazing. The art of Pointe requires dedication, determination and discipline. Regular attendance is very important – this beautiful and rewarding dance form is worth the extra effort, and enrollment into the program will assure your continued development as a dancer.

Dancers are required to be approved by the Studio Director before starting Pointe and must complete a physical exam.  

Baton twirling is an excellent way of developing hand-eye coordination, rhythm, timing, poise and gracefulness, endurance, self-discipline, and overall total body coordination. Classes involve all aspects of baton twirling from fundamental tricks to advanced competitive combinations. Basic dance & flexibility skills are also included in all baton twirling classes.

Pom Pom dance is a high energy blend of jazz, hip hop, and dance team/cheer techniques.
