Styles of Dance
BALLET
Ballet is a formalized kind of performance dance. It is a highly technical form of dance with it's own vocabulary. It is a poised style of dance that incorporates the foundational technique for many other dance forms. This type of dancing is very hard to achieve and takes much practice to master.
HIP HOP
Hip-Hop, or Street Dance is a class that incorporates both jazz class technique with the excitement of street and club dance moves most commonly used in music videos.
TAP DANCE
Basic tap technique is taught at all levels. The higher levels will also learn rhythmic tapping and the "hoofer style" of tap dance.
POM PON
Basic pom pon technique incorporating jazz technique and progressions.
CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary dance is a form of dance influenced by both classical ballet and modern dance. It permits a greater range of movement that may not adhere to the strict body lines set forth by ballet technique. Many of its concepts come from modern dance, including floor work and turning in of the legs.
HIP-HOP / STREET
Basic jazz technique is designed to strengthen as well as promote flexibility. Progressions and turns will also be incorporated into the class.
