We will do additional work on rhythm skills and gross motor skills. This class prepares your child for the combo level one class the following season. Children who attend this class LOVE it !! It helps smooth the transition and make for a more successful experience in the combo level one. Get ready for FUN!
This class explores the basics of ballet and tap. Ballet at this level utilizes large gross motor skills, tap builds rhythm and fine motor control skills. We use a wide variety of music from classical to the latest in clean kids pop ! We also include creative movement exercises to stimulate your child's free spirit and creativity. A great all around class to give your child the foundations of dance technique and Get your child spinning and jumping with joy ! This class prepares your child for combo level two.
A continuation of level one. This class produces an amazing progression from level one. Technical skills make rapid progress, The children can count music and complete new material at a faster tempo and with more confidence. A fun class with all the creativity of level one. New challenges and new material. This class prepares students for their first full hour, one subject class the following season.
This class is designed for students who have completed the Ballet/Tap Combo 2 class, but still would like both ballet and tap in their single hour class. The Combo 3 class will cover approximately half of the ballet material covered in Ballet 1 and half of the Tap 1 curriculum.
Perfect for the beginning student wishing to explore both dance options. This class is a fun option for students looking for fun and exercise. For a more detailed, in depth dance education a full hour of ballet or jazz is recommended. Super fun!!!!!
Full hour ballet based on the italian Cecchetti system and accented by French and Russian techniques. We believe that ballet provides the basic foundations for all the dance arts, as well as for gymnastics, skating, and cheerleading. Ballet may be the most important foundation you can give your child. Pointe classes are available by teacher recommendation only. A minimum of 2 classes a week are required for pointe.
A class for our tiny ballerinas who want to explore the world of dance and ballet. A fun introdutory class.
A class designed especially for young ladies wanting "only" ballet instead of a ballet and tap combination class. A fun class filled with imagination.
- BEGINNING POINTE
Must have instructor's approval before taking this class. This class is designed as the first "en Pointe" instruction for a ballerina. It will be a slow introduction to pointe work with a safe, methodical approach. Requires a doctor's clearance indicating at least 75% ossification in the foot joints to ensure sufficient bone development prior to pointe work.
The tap syllabus is based on Charles Kelly and Al Gilbert systems. It is also accented with some of the newest trends used in tap today. GET THOSE TOES TAPPING!
Jazz incorporates a multitude of styles and techniques. We teach traditional techniques from master teachers Gus Giordano, Luigi, and Cathy Roe. We also accent classes with the latest Hip-Hop and Street Jam. It is strongly recommended that all Jazz 2 students and above take a ballet class. We will use the latest really cool music and have a Hip-Hoppin, Jazz dancing great time.
- THEATRE JAZZ & TAP
This is a combined theatre class which will include basic acting techniques as well a theatrical dance styles. Broadway musicals will be the primary influence of the style merged with current music and child-appropriate theater trends.
- HIP HOP
This class rocks. feel the music , feel the beat, this up tempo class is available for several age groups and levels. We even have beginning teen classes (no dance experience required) as well as intermediate and advanced levels. Get your body moving!!!!
An excellent class for dancers age 10+ with prior jazz training who want to move into hip hop and "video" dance styles while remaining age appropriate both in dance and music selections.
Attention boys! Here is your chance to work on all those cool moves in a class designed just for you! No prior dance training is required.
For students who like to dance and want to develop additional skills in jazz and tap. Excellent for those who want exposure to both genres, or as a compliment to Ballet 1 or 2.
This class builds on early ballet and/or jazz training to begin exploration of the world of modern dance at a level appropriate for students age 9 and above. Modern uses ballet skills and training, but allows for additional self expression.
In this class, students will work on flexibility and muscle toning, similar to pilates and yoga. The instructor will work with the students in the class as they determine goals and tailor the class to best meet the needs of the participants. For ages 8 through adult.
Calling all aspiring actors and actresses! Rising Stars is a venue to work on development of theatre skills including character development, enunciation, voice control and more. Each class will be tailored to meet the experience of the participants.
