How to Chose Your Dance Class
Creative movement is offered every day of the week with a variety of daytime, evening, and weekend times to suit any schedule. Creative Movement teachers are energetic and patient as little ones discover the joy of dance through a tested curriculum that uses fun music and props.
Most Dancers Start with Ballet and Tap for foundational technique. The class includes 30 minutes of ballet barre, center floor work for strength and balance, steps across the floor for coordination, turns, leaps and choreography in addition to 15 minutes of tap to develop rhythm and footwork.
Classes for beginner to advanced pre-teen and teen dancers. Advanced dancers should take Modern and/or Classical Ballet with ala carte classes Jazz, Tap, and/or Hip Hop. Beginner teens and pre-teens should consider Modern Ballet, Jazz, and/or Hip Hop classes that are labelled beginner teen on the schedule. Students may take ala carte classes without taking a ballet class.
Advanced Ballet classes are available throughout the week so serious students can take multiple technique classes. Intermediate and advanced Jazz, Hip Hop, and Tap classes are available multiple times a week.
Beginning teen hip hop and jazz classes for older dancers that are just starting out. We also offer modern/contemporary ballet for older beginners.
Male dancers are welcome in any class. We have at least one section of Creative Movement, Ballet, Tap, and Hip Hop that contain male dancers.
