STYLES
For beginners, classes are a fun way to get fit while gaining dance experience. For more experienced dancers, classes are more technical, advanced, and challenging.
BALLET – Our ballet dance classes provide a basic grounding in ballet fundamentals and basic ballet technique. Placement, balance, posture, coordination, musicality, and alignment are clearly explained and emphasized. These classes offer a comprehensive barre and continue into a focused and structured center exercises.
CONTEMPORARY – Contemporary is designed to improve technique, flexibility, stamina, and artistry. Proper technique will be used as a departure point from which students will take risks and explore the freedom found within contemporary movement. Contemporary fuses contemporary dance styles with jazz, ballet, and world dance influences. It emphasizes and develops proper body alignment, strength and flexibility, rhythmic and musical phrasing, and self-expression. A fun, expressive combination of global music and movement.
HIP HOP – Our hip hop dance classes introduce the street dance styles from the Bronx and beyond. Fresh, funky, and soulful expression of movement that is constantly evolving. A great and fun work out for all dance enthusiasts.
STRENGTH + STRETCH – This open class for all combines dance, yoga, fitness, and Pilates-inspired exercises set to upbeat music to get you moving and motivated! The aim is to develop core strength, ease and openness in the joints, and a flexible, well-balanced body. This class is great for people of all movement abilities looking to develop and improve movement technique and understand how to warm up and stretch properly.
