Boys-Only Hip Hop & Tap (ages 6-8)

We are ecstatic to see more boys interested in dance and due to increased demand, we have created a combo class for boys-only. It is a 45 minute class in which boys will learn the latest hip hop moves from Miss Twyla, followed with an introduction to tap dancing taught by Miss Maria. 

The following dance classes are for ages 8 and up. Single discipline classes are more technique focused and help challenge the dancer. Intermediate to advanced level technique classes require the approval of the dance instructor before enrollment is granted.

(please see schedule for exact age requirements)

Ballet - Ballet is the subject most encouraged to any student, as the technique learned in class translates to other forms of dance.  Barre work emphasizes alignment, poise, control and proper execution of all steps.  Center work emphasizes carriage of body, grace and fluidity, along with performance skills.  Across the floor work incorporates jumps, leaps and turns.

Tap - The focus of this class is on the development of musicality, rhythm and coordination.  Students will develop an appreciation for timing and body percussion. Class work will include use of the ballet barre in order to help understand proper weight placement.

Jazz - This class will begin with a full body stretch, focusing on personal awareness of body movements and abilities. Use of isolation work and locomotive progressions include turns, leaps, kicks, and jumps.  Memorization skills will be improved while learning short combinations. Different movement themes will be explored through the introduction of various music styles such as blues, lyrical, fast and funky, and classical jazz.

Contemporary Lyrical - This style of dance is a fusion of modern dance, ballet and jazz. It is an interpretive form of dance that exudes various levels of emotion and feelings. The class requires strong ballet technique and students that excel in this class take both ballet and Contemporary Lyrical.

Modern - Modern dance initially emerged as an expression of rebellion against classical ballet. It is very free-flowing and less structured than ballet. However, similar to contemporary lyrical as dancers reflect their emotions and individual feelings through the dance steps. Pioneers of this style of dance include Isadora Duncan and Martha Graham. 

Hip Hop – Hip hop is about character. It is a culture and an attitude, and it is exciting, yet grounded. In this class, students learn the latest dance steps including street funk, break dancing, popping, locking and other cool ways to move. The class starts with a warm-up working body isolations and stretching, and continues with a high-energy dance combination set to age appropriate Hip Hop and R&B music.  Students will be able to share their own moves and improvise in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.
