Combo Classes

This program offers a more structured class whereas students receive 45 minute-1hour of Ballet and Jazz/Hiphop. We continue to enhance the student’s motor skills, strength training, balance, timing, awareness of rhythm, proper dance terminology and interaction with other students and dance steps, technique and combinations. The foundation of ballet, jazz, and hip-hop technique will be taught. The individual instruction our dancers receive will give them the correct foundation and the fundamentals for their physical and mental development We have found that this “combination” technique helps to keep the kids excited, interested, and focused for the entire 45 minute-1hour period.



Tap

Lyrical



Creative Manager



The song's lyrics are a driving force and key inspiration for the movement account yrical dance is very similar to ballet, combining the technical elements of classical ballet with the freedom, fluidity, expressiveness and airier aspects of jazz, contemporary and modern dance. Lyrical dance is expressive. **Must take ballet class to take Lyrical



Hiphop

An upbeat class that helps develop muscle coordination. Dance style that is seen on many dance videos. This class has a full jazz warm-up, followed by a series of jazz steps with a Hip-Hop style.



Jazz



Art Director



Jazz combines many styles and techniques from ethnic and contemporary dance, to ballet. Rhythm, upon which all dance forms depend, is particularly integral to jazz dance. The first half of class consists of exercises which stretch and tone muscles and develop support for proper stress-free alignment of the skeletal structure. Using jazz, soul, R&B, ethnic and pop music, jazz classes are a great work-out and a fun way to release tension while attaining a body awareness that can be applied to everyday activities.

This class focuses on jazz dance along with singing and acting. Students will learn choreography to Broadway style songs.





Q: What is the difference between PBT and Technique?



A: Both PBT (Progressing Ballet Technique) and Technique provide similar strengthening technical results, but they cater to different levels and preferences. PBT is geared towards intermediate to advanced dancers, offering a unique training system focusing on ballet-technique specific exercises. Essentially, you can choose either depending on what suits your schedule best. However, it's worth noting that PBT is not recommended for ages 9 and under.
