Class descriptions
Ballet
Ballet classes focus on classical technique, proper body alignment, placement, and terminology. Each class begins with barre exercises before progressing to center work and more complex combinations across the floor. Dancers refine their technique while developing strength, flexibility, balance, posture, and control. Ballet training builds discipline and artistry while providing a strong technical foundation for other dance styles.
Tap
Tap focuses on rhythm, musicality, and intricate footwork as dancers create sounds and patterns with their tap shoes. Through technical exercises, combinations, and choreography, dancers develop precision, clarity of sound, timing, and coordination. Classes also incorporate upper-body movement, dynamics, and performance quality as dancers expand their tap vocabulary and refine their technique.
Jazz
Jazz is a dynamic style of dance that combines strong technical foundations with expressive movement and performance. Dancers work on leaps, jumps, turns, isolations, and more advanced combinations while developing strength, flexibility, coordination, and musicality. Classes explore a variety of jazz styles, including Broadway and contemporary influences, allowing dancers to refine their technique, challenge themselves, and develop their individual performance style.
