Ballet
Ballet is the foundation of dance. Through ballet, dancers learn poise, grace, and self-discipline that carry throughout the dance world and into life. Students are instructed using the Royal Academy of Dance Syllabus. The R.A.D provides students with a sound knowledge of ballet steps, while emphasizing a high standard of performance. It encourages a love for dance and the art of movement.
Tap
Tap is not only a noisy form of dance, but is fun and exciting as well. Tap provides dancers with a strong sense of musicality and rhythm. A variety of teaching methods, incorporating music vocabulary into dance, will be used in this class. Students can enhance their rhythm and shuffle their way through this class.
Acro
Acrobatics is a very beautiful genre of dance, which incorporates elements of gymnastics, jazz, tumbling, and basic contortion. Students learn Acrobatic tricks such as handstands, cartwheels, chest rolls, elbow stands, walkovers and aerials.
Trick movements are usually executed slowly to emphasize gracefulness, body lines and picturesque extension. To master an Acro trick students must develop a good foundation of strength and flexibility, thus emphasis is placed on an extensive conditioning and stretching portion in class. When students are learning new tricks, the instructor utilizes professional spotting techniques; which is necessary to ensure safety and build confidence.
Tappin Toes
Tappin Toes is a beginner class encorporating a rhythmical combination of movement, sound, and style. The sound is achieved by metal taps on the shoes accenting various beats in the music. Tap is an excellent avenue to achieve arm, leg, and body coordination and to develop a sense of rhythm! Our tiny tappers are always a hit at the recital!
