Preschool Ballet teaches dancers the basic concepts of Ballet. Students are introduced to the positions of feet and arms while touching on basic Ballet vocabulary. The instructor will introduce basic level combinations and exercises, while using simple props to promote creativity and artistic expression. Students will have the opportunity to perform in our Year - End Recital.
Preschool Jazz
Preschool Jazz focuses on helping dancers to develop their imagination, body awareness, direction awareness and use of space in a fun environment. As the children progress they are taught the basic dance movements and skills of jazz. Students will have the opportunity to perform in our Year- End Recital.
Preschool Tap
Preschool Tap focuses on teaching dancers coordination, rhythm and music skills, while learning the basics and fundamentals of Tap dance and Creative Movement and allows them an opportunity to be active and have fun in a positive, nurturing environment. Students will have an opportunity to perform in our Year-End Recital.
Preschool Hip Hop
Preschool Hip Hop teaches foundational dance concepts such as learning rhythms, imitating choreography, and developing body control. All instruction takes place using kid-friendly Hip Hop music and movement, often integrated into games to keep our young ones motivated and having fun. This class is great for helping outgoing children to learn to express themselves properly in a group environment, as well as help those who are more shy to gain more confidence.
Jazz
Jazz dance incorporates stylized dance moves and dynamic steps such as jumps, turns, and kicks. Jazz is a very high-energy class that teaches students essential dance skills including body coordination, flexibility and self-expression. Jazz classes will be following the ADAPT syllabus this year and may have the opportunity to participate in dance exams. All jazz classes will participate in 3 festivals this season.
Tap
Tap dancing is an energetic dance style where students learn rhythm, style and technique through percussive footwork. Tap develops strong co-ordination and a sense of timing and musicality. Tap classes will be following Al Gilbert and ADAPT syllabus this year and may have the opportunity to participate in dance exams. All tap classes will participate in 3 festivals this season.
Ballet
Ballet is the foundation of all dance styles and is recommended for all dancers. Ballet classes will utilize classical technique and free movement; the structure and discipline in these classes allows students to develop in areas that are necessary for all dance forms. Students are educated throughout their lessons as to muscle strength, grace, posture, expression and the beauty of the art of dance. All Ballet classes will be following the Royal Academy of Ballet Syllabus. All ballet classes will participate in 3 festivals this season
Lyrical
Lyrical combines the best of Ballet with Jazz and a dash of modern. It is one of the most expressive forms of dance. It requires excellent technique to perform, as the moves are often difficult and precise. The goal is to help dancers learn to convey the emotions of a song by making them aware of their facial expressions, and body movements. All lyrical classes will participate in 3 festivals this season.
Hip Hop
A funky dance class filled with the latest popular dance steps and music. Students will get a taste of several styles and be able to use basic steps to create explosive Hip Hop moves and find their own unique style as a Hip Hop dancer. All these elements make the dance exciting, energetic and inspiring. All hip hop classes will participate in 3 festival this season.
Modern
Modern dance is a highly expressive style of dance that challenges the structured dance technique of classical ballet. The focus of modern dance is expression, rather than following a rigid set of postures or technical positions that ballet dancers are trained in. Modern dance movements are considered freeform and fluid, and are often inspired by other dance styles—like African dance, ballet, and folk dance.
Flexibility, Strength
& Conditioning
This class is a combination of deep stretching and body conditioning. The class is heavy in cardio to increase endurance for the dancer. The class includes several arms, abdominal, and leg exercises to strengthen the entire body. Strong muscles are vital for protecting the body and of course improving dance skills! Healthy muscles are important to let you move freely and keep your body strong. This class will include the Alixa Flexibility, PBT and The Rosina Andrews Method syllabus
Adult Tap & Jazz Performance Program
Our adult performance program is for those with previous dance experience looking to reconnect with their love of dance and performing. Our adult performance program will learn both a tap and jazz dance to perform at dance festivals.
Adult Beginner Tap
No previous experience required! This class will learn a tap routine for festivals and recital. Those who wish to learn to tap but not participate in festivals or recital are also welcome to participate.
Acrobatic Arts
The acrobatics arts program is designed to promote excellence in tumbling, flexibility, strength, balance, contortion and partner/group stunting for dancers. Acro is a genre of dance which fuses elements of gymnastics tricks, balancing, tumbling and jazz. Students learn tricks such as handstands, cartwheels, chest stands, walkovers and more!
Festival Large Jazz Group
We are offering the opportunity to perform in a large jazz group for festivals this upcoming season for all jazz dancers. Date of classes to be determined. Dancers must be registered in a regular season jazz class to participate.
Fees: One time $50 fee plus costume and festival fees.
Sessional programs
< Return To Home Page
Sessional programming allows dancers to try different disciplines without the commitment of a performance. This is the perfect avenue for families new to dance or new to a specific discipline of dance who would like to explore their interest without committing to 9 months of classes. Dancers who are nervous to perform will find comfort in being able to focus solely on dance technique without the pressure of a recital or competition.
Sessional dancers will learn a combination of disciplines using one of the full year program unit plans for 45 minutes once a week, for the specified amount of time. Our sessional classes are 6 weeks in length and there are no costumes or extra performance fees associated with sessional classes.
