CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Ballet technique is the fundamentals of all dancing.
Ballet is soft, yet sharp. Strong, yet appears delicate and fragile. Ballet is a perfect starting point for those wondering where their passion lies with dancing.
We recommend all children looking to begin dance for the very first time start with Ballet (and Acrobatics).
In Ballet class the students will learn the basic positions of of the feet and arms, basic body alignment and special awareness.
The technique taught in ballet class helps carry you through all of the other genres of dance.

Hip-Hop dance is an energetic form of dance that combines improvisational movements to create a cultural piece of art.

Acrobatics (commonly abbreviated Acro) is the use of the flexibility and strength of the back and legs to execute (usually) slow and controlled movement. Acrobatics also incorporates tumbling passes, aerial skills and conditioning. In acrobatics class we work on our alignment, our flexibility and most of all our strength and core.
Acrobatics & Tumbling builds confidence, raises self esteem, teaches the student how to use/stretch and train their muscles correctly. We learn how to sense where our bodies are in space, trust our instructors, and ourselves.
Acro is an excellent choice of class to pair with Ballet for those looking to start dance for the very first time.

Mommy & Me classes are our exciting classes for children ages 2-5 that are ready to get into movement, but aren’t quite ready to go to dance class alone. A Parent/Guardian/Babysitter/Nanny/Family Member is welcome to accompany their little one to class and participate at any level they are comfortable with (if that means you’re just in the building in case they want to run out for a hug, that’s great. We just want the littles to feel safe and comfortable in their first dancing journey.
Mommy & Me classes are where littles learn how to interact with other children socially, work together as a team to accomplish group tasks, wait in line for their turn, and learn basic classroom etiquette in an safe and comfortable setting.
Mommy & Me classes are offered in Acrobatics. Our littles work on learning their very first basic acro skills in a fun, upbeat environment. This is a no pressure, introductory class for our littles to become aquatinted to going to dance class and getting them moving and stretching!
