Younger siblings can join in for free; siblings older than 18 months, who are not in another class with us, can join for $20 + the cost of a prop bag.

Acro (3-5 Year-olds) – Dancers in this exciting class will be introduced to techniques in balancing, stretching, rolling, and other beginner Acro movements. (Imagine beginner floor gymnastics.) Classes will be 45 minutes long. (offered in 2 levels – age 3/4 and age 5/6)
Ballet (3-5 Year-olds) – Dancers will explore some fundamental Ballet steps through engaging music, the use of props, and a whole bunch of fun! This class is geared toward little ones who want to learn some early ballet technique while also using creative movement to explore the art of moving gracefully. Classes are 45 minutes long. (5 year-olds wanting a slightly more formal class can join the Early Beginner Ballet class.)
Tap & Hip Hop Combination Class (3-5 yr-olds) – This 45 minute class will really get your little ones moving! They will be introduced to some cool Hip Hop moves as well as the excitement of making sounds with their feet! They will learn some beginner Tap and Hip Hop steps and have lots of fun using their feet as instruments in a class where they are encouraged to be funky and make as much noise with their feet as they can!
AGE 6 to ADULT
Please note, ages listed for each class on our registration page are approximate. Because our studio is in its 8th year, we now have several experienced dancers; therefore, dancers with less dance experience overall or in that specific dance style may be moved to a lower level. Please keep this in mind if your dancer is switching dance styles.
Dance Party! – all ages
FALL SESSION (10 weeks) -$195 (includes a take-home prop bag. If dancer already has a prop bag from another class with us, or your child’s class will not need one, the price will be reduced by $15.) Our “Dance Party!” class (30 minutes) is for dancers of all ages, abilities and special needs, where we will enjoy moving and dancing to fun music, tailored to your dancer’s interests! This class is offered twice throughout the year: a session in Fall and one in Winter. **This class is offered as private lessons, so please contact us to find a time that would work for your child. (If you would like to gather a group of friends, we will gladly try to arrange a group class – the class fee for each student would be slightly reduced for group classes. Please contact Miss Deb if interested in this option.) ** Siblings are welcome to join for $20 + cost of prop bag, if applicable.
Acro – age 5/6+
These classes will teach dancers various acrobatic techniques, focusing on balance, flexibility, and strength. (This is sort of like floor gymnastics with more of a dance focus.) Dancers in these classes will perform in our Year-End Recital, and Level 2 and up may also perform in festivals, dependent on if the festivals we are doing have an Acro category and if we feel the dancers are ready. As this class works on movements that require complete, independent competency in previous foundational moves that increase in difficulty, for safety reasons, a dancer may be moved to a more suitable level class. Also, for safety reasons, anyone age 7+ new to Acro dance, must also take the 6-week, 30-minutes “Intro to Acro” class.
Ballet – age 5/6+
Ballet itself is a beautiful form of dance, and it is also the foundation for all dance styles, as it helps develop core strength, build muscles, increase balance, and teach grace and body control. All regular Ballet classes include technique and choreography. (Five year-olds wanting a less formal ballet class can join our Preschool Ballet class.) Please contact us to help find the best level for your dancer. (Dancers wanting to work more on their technique beyond this class are welcome to add a Ballet Technique class, but are not required to do so, unless doing a Ballet solo/duet. Please also see the “Ballet Technique” and “Ballet Pre-Pointe” descriptions below.
Ballet Technique – age 6+
In this 30-minute class, dancers will work on developing ballet techniques that are the foundation of all dance styles, but are especially critical for enhancing the grace, style, and technique required not only for Ballet, but also for Lyrical dance. Dancers in Lyrical, if not in a regular Ballet class, need to register for this class. Anyone in any style of class who wants to improve, clean, and build their technique is welcome and encouraged to take this class. Dancers already in a regular Ballet class can also add this class to further build and strengthen their skills. This is purely a technique class, so there are no costumes nor performances, so there will be no extra fees beyond the class fee. (Dancers NOT in other classes with us are also welcome to take this class for an increased fee).
Please note: Dancers doing a solo/duet in any genre other than Hip Hop, Musical Theatre, or Tap must take either a Ballet Technique or a regular Ballet class, as this will help them significantly. However, the Technique class is still highly recommended even for Musical Theatre and Tap solos/duets. Dancers doing a Ballet solo/duet need to take a Ballet technique class as well as their regular Ballet class.
Ballet – Pre-Pointe – age 10+
In this 30-minute class, dancers will work on balance and building foot, ankle, and core strength and stability. This class is beneficial for those hoping to eventually do Pointe Ballet (right on the tips of the toes with special shoes), and for any dancer wanting to further develop strength and balance to help with all dance styles. (This class WILL count toward discounts for taking multiple classes.)
Hip Hop – age 6+
Get ready for some cool, funky, and stylistic moves! Classes will include technique and choreography.
Jazz – age 6+
Dancers will learn various Jazz moves, including various turns and jumps, while moving to up-beat, energizing music. Classes will include technique and choreography. Dancers age 10+, who are new to Jazz or with little experience in other dance styles, can take our new “Older Beginner Jazz” class.
“Just for Fun: Jazz” – age 6-10
(Sept 18-Dec 11) – $195 In this 12-week session (45-minute classes), dancers will experience the exciting style of Jazz dance, completely “Just for Fun!” This is a great way to try out this dance style and also, to just get moving to energizing music! If there is enough interest, this class may be offered again in the new year.
“Jumps & Turns” – age 10+
Dancers will be introduced to more advanced jumps and turns, and they will work on improving their technique with various jumps and turns. For dancers doing Acro, Jazz, or Lyrical solos/duets, this is a great opportunity to learn and practice new, interesting steps to add to your dances!
Lyrical – age 9+
Lyrical dance focuses on combined ballet and slower jazz movements to give the “lyrics” of a song their meaning (hence “lyrical” dance). Dancers work to convey emotion and feeling through their dancing. Dancers for this discipline need to be quite focused and mature to be able to sincerely convey the message of their performance song to the audience. Ballet and/or Jazz experience will be very helpful. Anyone in this class, if not already registered for a regular Ballet class, will need to also register for and attend at least one Ballet Technique class each week. The actual Lyrical class will concentrate on dance style and choreography. (Please see “Ballet Technique” description above.)
Musical Theatre – age 6+
If you love to sing and dance and have fun learning some acting skills as well, this is the class for you! Dancers will sing their hearts out in their performance dance, moving around the stage with steps that are not too complex, but enhancing to the song. Classes will also learn various techniques through engaging drama and acting games.
Tap – age 5/6+
Tap focuses on creating incredible and exciting percussive sounds by learning steps that use different parts of the tap shoes. Classes will include technique and choreography. (5 year-olds also have the option of the Preschool Tap/Hip Hop combined class.) Dancers age 10+, who are new to Tap can take our new “Older Beginner Tap” class.
Adult Classes – Beginner Ballet, Beginner or Intermediate Tap (age 18+)
These classes are meant to be a fun place where adults, whether they have danced before or not, will experience the joy of movement – no matter their age! We will work on technique and choreography and will have the option to take part in various performances; the class participants will discuss the possibilities and decide what they as a class would like to do. No one will be forced to go on stage if they choose not to!
Private Full or Partial-Year Classes – any age/number of dancers (limited to only those requesting the private class)
These can be requested, and if a time slot and teacher are available, a class may be arranged. Please note that these classes will have a higher class fee, as it is a class that will be unable to receive any extra registrations. (Private classes do not qualify for nor towards any discounts.)
