AcroFusion

Fusing Dance with Acrobatics teaching flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, discipline & concentration. This class will combine fundamental acrobatic technique with dance technique. Students will learn elements such as handstands, chin stands, elbow stands, cartwheels, back bends, walkovers, balance, & contortion tricks. Acro is not the typical tumbling or gymnastics class, however coupling the two is highly recommended. This class is great for students looking to enhance their agility, flexibility, & strength in choreography!

Hip Hop

Hip Hop is a fast paced, athletic, energetic class teaching Isolations, popping, & free-style movement with cutting edge choreography!! Each level of hip hop will perform 1 piece in the Spring Production.

Ballet & Pointe

Ballet Is the foundation of all dance. Our focus is to educate and train students in the art of Classical Ballet and to inspire a true appreciation for music and movement with proper technique. Once your dancer has taken 2 years of pre-pointe and meets some of the basic requirements she may be evaluated for pointe. Our team of instructors will evaluate your dancer individually to go on pointe. Pointe dancers must complete 2 years of pre-pointe training, reach the age of 11 and meet the evaluation criteria.

Technique

Technique provides dancers with a solid foundation for safe, efficient, and clean movement. Our technique classes teach functional alignment, fluidity, stability, use of weight and articulation of the feet and ankles. Focus on improving technical skills for turns, jumps and leaps are encouraged during technique class.
