Jazz is an exciting form of dance frequently seen on television, stage and films. It combines the discipline of correct technique training with the emphasis on over-all conditioning, stamina and developing different performance styles, using the latest dance moves with the popular music of today as well as show tunes. Tap is a dance form that expresses an intricate rhythmic pattern to various types of music. It develops flexibility, coordination, balance, timing and is fun to do. It is very useful to those interested in musical theatre or professional performing.
Hip Hop
1 Hour Class
(All Levels) - Popular dance style of the 21st century. Learn all of the latest video and "Club" moves while getting a great cardiovascular, aerobic workout. Hip Hop not only reinforces the basic premise of Jazz class (body isolation), but strengthens and tones the entire body. When added to a dancer's regular cirriculum, Hip Hop improves coordination and endurance, and enhances performance skills. Great excercise and lots of fun for dancers of all ages and levels!
Dance Companies
Co. Dance I, II, III, IV (ages 6 and up) were created for those students interested in a more intensified and involved dance experience. Ballet is required for all company dancers (classroom only) and solos, duos and trios (for performance) are offered soley to company dancers.
This as well as periodic studio sponsored in-classroom pizza or ice-cream parties and themed dance days (such as working with props, or dance vocabulary games) create lasting friendships and memories while learning proper technique and performance skills.
