In addition to Children's, Teen, and Adult Ballet, we also offer Conditioning Classes! 

Jazz

Jazz dance is connected to many rhythmic related dance styles such as tap and ballet, with its music originating from the jazz movement. Find out how jazz has changed from street dance to theatrical dance and incorporates strong acting skills, dynamic movement and musical awareness.

Tap

Whether it be rhythm tap or Broadway tap, each student gains focus through tap dance and the heel and toe action. Both children and adults enjoy this dance education.

Modern

Modern dance, explores basic movement impulses. Floor work exercise improves flexibility, strengthens core muscles and hips. Starting from Children's Beginning Modern and up through Modern I, II and III, students expand inner motivation for movement and learn spatial and rhythmic performance skills.

Hip Hop

Hip Hop has evolved greatly from street dance and has integrated its expression within contemporary, jazz, tap and ballet styles. Come experience the fun with Children's Beginning group, ages 7-12 or Intermediate for ages 12-18. Beginning Teen and Adult classes from 16 and up, will also learn the fundamental strengthening techniques and dynamic moves today!

Boy's Ballet

The taboo that ballet is a girls' dance is outdated. Step up to the barre and break the ballet stereotype! The strengthening principles learned with formal instruction can actually excel boys in recreational or team sports, in addition to the benefits of focus ability.
