***Description of our classes***
“Mommy & Me” (for “just walking” to 3 yrs)
Actually this class is also for “Daddy & Me” or “Grandma & Me” or whoever. Classes include, marching free movement, encouraging the development of motor skills, learning rhythms, a little pre-dance & HAVING FUN! An adult must participate with their child–no previous dance or music experience needed. A great preparatory class for any later music, voice, gymnastics or dance education for your child. This is a great class for parent-child bonding!
Creative Movement/Pre-Ballet/Tap/Tumble Combination Classes (for 3 - 7 & 1/2 yr olds)
3, 4 & young 5 yr. olds take a 1 hr. class which includes 20 min. each of pre-ballet, tap & tumbling.
5.5 yr olds - 7.5 yr olds take the same 3 plus some jazz in a 1.25 hr. long class. These are 1X per week classes, but, those who have a strong interest in dance are encouraged to study more than once a week. That way, they will advance faster & retain material better. We offer a special discounted rate for their 2nd class.
Ballet/Pointe
Traditional Classical ballet is taught for 5.5 yr olds & up. Younger children do pre-ballet. At about 12 yrs old, students with a sufficient amount of proficiency & previous training add a pointe class w/instructor approval..
FUNKY Jazz/ Jr. Hip-Hop
This is considered a good form of “basic dance” for 7 yr olds & up. This has nothing to with “jazz” style music. It’s a fun form of dance that’s very popular these days because it’s usually done to the songs that the youngsters listen to on the radio. Routines can be any style from Broadway shows, to 50’s, to today’s most popular bands.
Tap
We teach all styles of tap from the vaudeville routines with top hats & canes, through the new modern “funky” rhythm tap which is done to some pieces of modern rock-type music (the “edited” versions, of course).
Hip-Hop
If you like a good workout done in a funky hip-hop style of dancing to all the latest music (“edited”, of course), then this class is for you! Classes available for 6 yr olds thru adults. Instructors study all the latest “MTV video moves” & attend many seminars to keep up on all the most current material! These classes are lots of fun!!
Tumbling
Basic tumbling on the mats is offered in a combination class along with pre-ballet & tap for 3-7 yr olds. This includes: cartwheels, back bends, round-offs & more. And for 5.5-11 yr olds we offer tumbling also as a separate class. We are not, however, a gymnastics school. We do not use the gymnastics equipment other than a small trampoline and mats.
Ballroom / Salsa / Swing
8 weeks sessions which includes the basics in about 5 different ballroom styles. No previous training necessary. Classes are for singles or couples—youDO NOT NEED A PARTNER to register. .
Zumba
The newest fitness craze is sweeping the country! All the health clubs are teaching this but unlike those clubs, we only have about 10 students per class instead of 50+! This way you can see the instructor & receive personal attention. Zumba combines aerobic type exercise w/Salsa & other forms of dance for a PARTY atmosphere in every class. This is the most fun way that you’ve ever seen to get your exercise!
CheerDance
CheerDance is the basics of cheerleading along with the basics of dance for ages 5.5-11 yr olds.
