Ballet
Classical ballet-introduction of French words for ballet steps, proper body placement, use of the feet, use of the arms, jumps, center balance and strengthening steps, and traveling steps across the floor. Ballet is the foundation for all other forms of dance. It is a strong foundation to build upon.

Jazz
Incorporates warm up stretches, basic steps, combinations, turns, jumps, leaps with many forms and styles of music and percussion. Builds upon classical jazz technique, proper placement, and centering of the body. Many different styles of jazz may be taught, depending upon the individual teacher's experience and abilities, as well as the experience and age of the students in the class.

Hip Hop
Consists of 'Street Dance' an ever-changing, multi-styled, expressive form of dance using music of today. Movements and steps similar to those in music videos. Innovative movements with no apparent technique (more stylistic and individualized.)

Tap
Creating sounds and rhythms with taps. Tap technique, rhythms, and basic steps are taught at the beginning level. Each level progressively gets more difficult as the steps become faster, with smaller movements of the foot and ankle. A variety of styles may be taught, from traditional to a cappella. Many different types of music may be used, or no music at all, from Broadway musicals to funky rhythms. Steps begin with single, double, and triple sounds, moving to mutltiple combinations, reversing steps, time steps, syncopation, pull-backs,
wings, pick-ups, cramp rolls, paradiddles, flash tricks and turns.

Combo classes
Wonderful opportunity for students to explore the many different kinds of dance. Classes offer two or three different styles of dance from ballet, jazz, tap, and hip-hop. The variety allows dancers to explore the world of dance and find their interests.

Mother and Daughter Dance
This class was created so mothers and daughters can share the joy of dancing together. There are no age limits in this class, and more than one daughter is welcomed! Dances will be to music that all generations will love and appreciate!.
