We offer age appropriate training for our students in each discipline of dance.  Training exercises are utilized in carefully devised levels, taking account not only the age, but more importantly the strength, maturity and experience of each individual student.  By adhering to this regimen, each student has the chance to properly master the necessary skills before progressing to the next level.

Jazz: A stylistic dance discipline that is based on primitive and social dances. Rhythmical movements, technique, flexibility, isolations, terminology, performance, core strength and style are all part of the jazz dance curriculum.

Tap: A percussive dance form teaching syncopation and rhythm. Students study traditional and contemporary styles of tap. Technique, style, musicality and terminology are included in the tap curriculum.

Modern/Contemporary:  A non-traditional dance form based on fundamental modern and contemporary techniques.  Modern dance encourages dancers to use their emotions and moods to design their own steps and routines. Another characteristic of modern dance in opposition to ballet is the deliberate use of gravity. Whereas classical ballet dancers strive to be light and airy on their feet, modern dancers often use their body weight to enhance movement. These classes have a diversity of music and include improvisation and core strengthening exercises.
