Ballet (3-4 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.
Creative Movement (3-5 yr-olds) – In this 45 minute class, dancers will boogie to fun music and action songs, dance with various props, and put their creative imaginations to work while learning some of the basics of beginner Jazz, Ballet, and even some Hip Hop!
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 7th 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 dancer is switching dance styles.
Dance Party! – all ages
WINTER SESSION (11 weeks) – $180 (This includes a prop bag. If dancer has one from a previous season with us, 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: one 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. (However, 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 – offered to dancers age 5/6+
These 45 minute 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 may also perform in festival, dependent on if the festivals we are doing have an acro category and if we feel the dancers are ready, as safety mats are not allowed on stage at most festivals. As this class works on movements that require competency in previous foundational moves, for safety reasons, a dancer may be moved to a more suitable level.
Ballet – age 5/6+
Classes will be either 45 or 60 minutes long, depending on the level, and will include technique and choreography for two different performance pieces. Five year olds wanting a slightly more formal ballet class should join our Beginner Ballet Class for 5 & 6 Year-olds. Beyond this class, four additional levels are also offered. Please contact us to help find the best class for your dancer. (Dancers wanting to work more on their technique beyond this class are welcome to also add a Ballet Technique class, but are not required to do so. Please see the “Ballet Technique” and “Ballet Pre-Pointe” descriptions below.)
Ballet Technique – offered to dancers age 6+
This 30 minute class is offered twice per week, and once registered in one of the two class times offered, dancers can attend either one or both for no extra charge. Dancers in Lyrical, if not already in a regular Ballet class, need to register for and attend at least 1 of these 2 classes each week. As Ballet is the foundation for all dance, 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, this class does not qualify for nor toward any discounts.
Please note: Dancers doing a solo/duet in any genre other than Hip Hop 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 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 – offered to dancers 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 moves! Classes will be 45 minutes long, and will include technique and choreography for two different performance pieces.
Jazz – age 6+
Classes will be either 45 or 60 minutes long, depending on the level, and will include technique and choreography for two different performance pieces.
Lyrical – offered to dancers age 9+
This 40 minute class (+30 minute Ballet Tech) 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. It will include technique and choreography for two different performance pieces. 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! In our younger level, dancers will sing their hearts out as they move around the stage with steps that are not too complex, but enhancing to the song. These classes will be 50 minutes long and will include technique and choreography for two different performance pieces.
Tap – age 6+
Classes will be 45 minutes long and will include technique and choreography for two different performance pieces.
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 will not qualify for any discounts.)
Adult Classes – Beginner Ballet, Beginner or Intermediate Tap, AND **NEW** – Musical Theatre! – dancers ages 18+
These 45 minute 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!!
