3 Yrs - Kindergarten: Ballet & Tap
50 Minutes
Beginner
Each class begins with a creative warm-up that incorporates stretch and strength with basic technique. Warm up is followed by a ballet lesson where students learn and expand their vocabulary and repertoire of ballet movement. After ballet, we encourage the students to unwind and use their imaginations as we teach about stage presence and introduce other elements of dance through across the floor exercises and activities. Each session concludes with the tap portion, consisting of song and dance.
1st - 5th: Ballet / Jazz / Tap
55 Minutes
Beginner- Intermediate
In these combination classes students expand upon their ballet and tap technique and are introduced to jazz. We begin each class with a fun warm-up in the center, where students begin to truly learn the importance of stretching. Students focus on gaining strength, balance and flexibility. Following the warm-up, students focus on ballet and jazz technique at the barre and across the floor. Each class consists of a choreography section to challenge the student’s memory and developmental skills. Class concludes with a tap lesson.
6th - 12th: Jazz & Tap
Level I (Intermediate- One Hour) / Level II (Advanced (admittance required) - Hour and 15 Minutes)
Each class is geared towards Jazz and Tap. The classes begin with a fun, upbeat warm-up on the floor where students deepen their understanding of stretch and strength dynamics and how it coincides with their dance technique. After warm-up students further their learning in Jazz and Tap through across the floor exercises and choreography.
