“Twistin’ Tots (19-35 months) – Parented or Un-parented (if child is ready) – FALL SESSION (10 Weeks-starts Oct 1) – (includes take-home prop bag – If your dancer has one from a previous session with us, the fee will be $15 less.) This 35-minute class is both for tots who want to have a grown-up with them and also for those ready for a class all on their own! Little ones will boogie and dance, play with lots of different props to enhance their movements and creativity, listen to goofy songs, work through obstacle courses, giggle lots, and use their imaginations while they move! $150 for 10 weeks
*For older siblings who would like to join, if not in any other classes with us, there will be a heavily reduced class fee plus the cost of a prop bag. Younger siblings and siblings in other classes with us can join for free. Please contact us to register a sibling.

*5 yr-olds wanting a slightly less formal class can register for the “Preschool” level in the above classes
AGE 7 to ADULT
*Dancers in all classes below, excluding technique classes, will have the opportunity to dance in festivals and our Year-End Recital; however, dancers have the choice to just take the class, dance in only recital, or dance in festivals and recital.
* Ages listed for each class on our registration page are approximate. Because our studio is in its 10th year, we now have several experienced dancers; therefore, dancers with less experience overall or in that specific dance style may be moved to a lower level. Please keep this in mind if your dancer is new or switching dance styles.
Acro – age 7+
These classes will teach dancers various acrobatic techniques, focusing on balance, flexibility, and strength. (This is like floor gymnastics with more of a dance focus.) Dancers will perform in our Year-End Recital, and higher levels may also perform in festivals, depending 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. We will be holding an Acro placement day, so we can group dancers together who are most similar in their skill levels. Acro is like swimming, where a child’s safety is the top priority, and skills must be able to be consistently demonstrated safely and independently before moving on to more advanced skills. Therefore, dancers will be placed according to their ability to demonstrate prerequisite skills for each grouping and not necessarily by age. We will let you know the date for the Acro placement day by email. For safety reasons, anyone age 7+ new to Acro with us, must also take the 6-week, 30-minute “Intro to Acro” class – please add this class when registering.
Acro Technique – 3 options – age 7+
* “Intro to Acro” This 6 week class is mandatory for acro dancers new to our studio to learn required acro safety skills. $60
* “Acro Stretch & Strengthen” – Dancers who have done acro with us before can skip the 1st 6-week “Intro to Acro” class and register for this class – open to dancers in all dance styles. (Starts Nov 2) $260
* “Intro to Acro + Acro Stretch & Strengthen” – After the first 6 weeks of “Intro to Acro”, dancers have the option to continue for the remainder of the year with the “Acro Stretch and Strengthen” class to further increase flexibility and strength and develop some acro skills, such as handstands, bridges, cartwheels, & splits (depending on each student’s level) $320
* “Intro to Acro + Acro Stretch & Strengthen” AND “Acro Stretch & Strengthen” count toward multi-class discounts.
– Tech classes only – no performances, no costume fees.
Ballet – age 7+
Ballet 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. 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 or Pre-Pointe class, but are not required to do so, unless doing a Ballet solo/duet. (Classes are 50 or 60 minutes, depending on the level. Classes including pointe will be 75 minutes.) Please also see the “Ballet Technique” and “Ballet Pre-Pointe” options below.
Ballet Technique – age 9+
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, Jazz, and Acro dance. Dancers in Lyrical, if not in a regular Ballet class, need to also register for this class. Anyone in any dance style who wants to improve, clean, and build their technique is welcome and encouraged to take this class. Dancers in a regular Ballet class can add this class to further build and strengthen their skills. Tech class only – no performances, no costume fees. (Dancers NOT in other classes with us are also welcome to take this class for an increased fee.)
*** 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 must take Ballet Technique or Ballet – Pre-Pointe” class as well as their regular Ballet class.
Ballet – Pre-Pointe Technique – 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, and for any dancer wanting to further develop strength and balance to help with all dance styles. (This class counts toward multi-class discounts.) Tech class only – no performances, no costume fees.
Hip Hop – age 7+
Get ready for some cool, funky, and stylistic moves, including some exciting floor work as well! Classes will include technique and choreography. (45- minute classes)
Jazz – age 7+
Dancers will learn various Jazz moves, including turns and jumps, while moving to up-beat, energizing music. Classes will include technique and choreography. Dancers age 11+, who are newer to Jazz or with little experience in other dance styles, can take “Older Beginner Jazz”. (Classes are either 45 or 60 minutes, depending on the level.)
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! (30-minute classes) (This class counts toward multi-class discounts.) Tech class only – no performances, no costume fees.
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 at least one Ballet Technique or Pre-Pointe class. The actual Lyrical class will concentrate on dance style and choreography. (Please see “Ballet Technique” description above.) Classes will be 45 or 50 minutes long, depending on the level. (Please note, the 2 levels may be combined if there are not enough registrations for separate classes.)
Musical Theatre – age 7+
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. Dancers will also learn various techniques through engaging drama and acting games. (45-minute classes)
Tap – age 7+
Tap focuses on creating incredible and exciting percussive sounds by learning steps that use different parts of the tap shoes. For dancers who really like to feel and show the rhythm of the music, tap will be a blast! Dancers age 11+, who are newer to Tap or with little experience in other dance styles, can take “Older Beginner Jazz”. These 45-minute classes will include technique and choreography.
Adult Classes – Ballet or *NEW!! – Musical Theatre – 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! (45-minute classes)
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.)
