Ballet:

Hip Hop:
This popular dance style includes the latest "MTV" moves, and combines it with a great workout. A less technical form of dance, the training and technique is more individual, and while performing a routine the individual personality is shown.

Tap:
An intricate form of dance with many rhythmic patterns, this class includes all types of music, from soft shoe, to swing, to jazz and African rhythms. This class develops co-ordination and is a must for any students interested in musical theatre.

Lyrical:
This more up-beat ballet dance uses the performers interpretative moves, and combines ballet, jazz and drama into its performance.

Modern:
Often called contemporary dance, modern is very similar to ballet, but uses free, natural movement. This form is very expressive and offered to intermediate or higher level ballet students.
|
Musical Theatre:
This class will combine script reading, voice training and acting. Students must be 7 or older, and have an interest in both drama as well as performing musical song and dance numbers. These students will participate with the dance students in June to add depth to our annual Spring Concert.
