We Have Classes For You!
Classes that are fun, challenging and ranging from beginner to pro.
3 - 6 Yrs. Programs
Our Programs for ages 3 - 6 years is a joyful way for children to explore movement through music, develop physical skills, learn focus, stimulate imagination and promote creativity. Creative movement uses body actions to: communicate an image (the wind), communicate an idea (a journey) or communicate a feeling (strength).
Through movement, children learn about their bodies (head, shoulders, knees and toes), the space around them, and each other. Both boys and girls enjoy these classes. All children can benefit, including children with communication, sensory, developmental or physical challenges.
Pre-Ballet
Our Pre-Ballet program is designed for young dancers aged 6 to 7 years old, offering an engaging introduction to the world of ballet. Classes focus on developing basic ballet techniques, coordination, musicality, and creativity in a fun and supportive environment. This program emphasizes the fundamentals of ballet etiquette while fostering a love for dance, making it the perfect starting point for young aspiring dancers.
Ballet
Ballet (French: [balɛ]) is a type of performance dance that originated during the Italian Renaissance in the fifteenth century and later developed into a concert dance form in France and Russia. It has since become a widespread and highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary. Ballet has been influential globally and has defined the foundational techniques which are used in many other dance genres and cultures. Various schools around the world have incorporated their own cultures. As a result, ballet has evolved in distinct ways.
Pointe
Pointe technique (/pwænt/ pwant) is part of classical ballet involving a technique that concerns pointe work, in which a ballet dancer supports all body weight on the tips of fully extended feet when wearing pointe shoes. A dancer is said to be en pointe when the body is supported in this manner, and a fully extended vertical foot is said to be en pointe when touching the floor, even when not bearing weight.
Pointe technique resulted from a desire for female dancers to appear weightless and sylph-like. Although both men and women are capable of pointe work, it is most often performed by women. Extensive training and practice are required to develop the strength and technique needed for pointe work. Typically, dance teachers consider factors such as age, experience, strength and alignment when deciding whether to allow a dancer to begin pointe work.
Contemporary
Contemporary dance is a style of interpretive dance that embraces innovation, blending techniques from various genres, including classical ballet, jazz, modern dance, and lyrical dance.
Worship Dance
Worship dance or liturgical dance take on several forms of sacred dance in Christianity and Messianic Judaism, and is usually incorporated into liturgies or worship services. Beginning in the second half of the 20th century, and especially following the Second Vatican Council, there was a significant growth in the use of dance in Christian worship. This received a boost from the charismatic movement of the 1970s, which initiated a transition to contemporary worship in many churches.
Jazz
Jazz Dance is a performance dance and style that arose in the United States in the early 20th century when African American dancers began blending traditional African steps with European styles of movement.
Hip Hop
Hip hop dance is a range of street dance styles primarily performed to hip hop music or that have evolved as part of hip hop culture. It is influenced by a wide range of styles that were created in the 1970s and made popular by dance crews in the United States. The television show Soul Train and the 1980s films Breakin', Beat Street, and Wild Style showcased these crews and dance styles in their early stages; therefore, giving hip-hop dance mainstream exposure.
Acro
Acro is the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the athleticism of Acrobatic skills. Its roots are in traditional Chinese dance, later appearing on the Vaudeville stage and more recently gaining popularity with contemporary circus productions like Cirque du Soleil and main stream TV shows like ‘So You Think You Can Dance’.
This style of dance teaches students the importance of being spatially aware, persistent and confident. It often includes working with a partner or group and using balance and agility skills to work together and achieve a common goal.
