~ Tap/Ballet combo and Jazz/ Hip Hop Combos

Our objective is to introduce and foster a love of dance within these genres while playing appropriate music and teaching age appropriate choreography. 

We will focus on fine and gross motor skills, musicality, music appreciation, enhance listening and social skills, following directions, learning directions (right and left) and pathways, coordination, dance terminology, and MORE while having fun!  Our music choices are varied between classical and instrumentals of current Pop or Broadway, etc. for our tap/ballet combos. We use and clean and age appropriate music and choreography for our jazz/hip hop class. At times, props will be used. 

 

~ Hip hop with Acro

Dancers will develop foundational skills in both Hip hop and Acro dance by learning basic techniques, such as rhythm and coordination in Hip Hop, and flexibility, balance, etc in Acro. Acro skills covered will include backward and forward rolls, handstands, cartwheels, bridges and chest stands. Dancers will be able to perform a choreographed routine that incorporates both styles fostering creativity, confidence, and teamwork.

 

~ Musical Theater Class with TJ  (Ages 6-12)

Students will learn the fundamentals of Musical Theater through acting, singing, and dancing. Students will receive vocal training, play acting games, and enhance their movement skills. This class promotes and strengthens creativity, builds confidence, and promotes camaraderie. This class will also perform in our Winter Showcase and June Recital.

 

~ Tap

This class will consist of barre and/or center floor warm-ups, across the floor exercises and center floor choreography. While learning terminology and coordination our dancers will enhance their musicality (matching their sounds along with the music) and listening skills to make clear sounds as they enjoy this art form. We mainly teach in the Broadway style of tap however depending on the instructor a bit of Rhythm tap may also be sprinkled in.
