BALLET 1, 2 & 3 & Pointe: Children & Adults

Ballet is the basic foundation of all dance disciplines; therefore, Ballet is the prerequisite to taking any dance discipline on our schedule. Ballet demands great physical virtuosity.  Students learn vocabulary of classical ballet and dance interpretation with adequate and proper feeling.  The class is divided into three sections: exercise at the barre, centre floor work where problems of balance and choreography are mastered.  Ballet 3 is for dancers who have advanced passed Ballet 1 & 2.

JAZZ: (All Levels)

Jazz is a feeling, an attitude, and a freedom of movement.  We combine jazz, modern dance, and ballet in an exciting infusion of energy and natural rhythm for all ages.  Dancers learn to express their feelings and learn how to dance with an attitude to popular music they enjoy.  Additionally, dancers learn basic Jazz techniques, choreography, and flexibility exercises. 

 

BALLET FOLKLORICO 1, 2 & 3: Children & Adults (Age 6 & Up)

Dancers learn about the Mexican culture while learning the art of Ballet Folklorico.  In addition, dancers learn the history and dances from different regions of Mexico while mastering Mexican footwork (zapateado) and the use of the ballet Folklorico skirt.  This is a stimulating, informative and valuable class for any child or adult wanting to learn traditional dance from the Mexican culture.  Ballet Folklorico 2 & 3 is for dancers who have advanced passed Ballet Folklorico 1. 

 

TAP:  Prerequisite Ballet/Tap Level 1, 2 or 3 or previous tap experience

This fun class will teach dancers the history of tap as well as time steps, rhythm tap, and combinations of steps and sounds. Tap is more than just making sounds with your feet. It is about expressing your self, percussively, with your feet and body, making music, and making statements.

Dancers will learn flamenco vocabulary, how to master footwork, the use of the

flamenco skirts, as well as how to play and master the castanets and the use of hands, arms and upper body movement.
