BALLET
AGES 2 AND UP
The foundation of all dance, Ballet is not only where we all start but it is where we all build the discipline to be a dancer. Whether it is learning the basics as a child or perfecting those pirouettes as an adult, ballet is the class where every great dancer begins.
JAZZ
AGES 2 AND UP
Whether you’re looking to learn new dance moves or perfect what you know, this class is what you are looking for. Jazz encompasses all the techniques of Ballet with all the fun of popular music. From leaps and spins to personal expression and technique, Jazz is the class where you find the rhythm that will take you through life.
CONTEMPORARY
AGES 10 AND UP
The dance style encapsulates all the grace and beauty of Ballet with all the emotions of human experience. Contemporary challenges the dancer to move beyond the steps, but rather blend them seamlessly with the emotions one is feeling. This class is a favorite among many of our students. Everyone loves the opportunity to explore new ways to dance while also giving each dancer the chance for self-expression.
GYMNASTICS
AGES 2 TO TEEN
Gymnastics is the art of control and balance. With a focus on strength and stamina, this is the class where one learns the importance of flexibility and agility. From forward rolls and bridges to walkovers and handsprings, Gymnastics will challenge one's mind to push themselves past what they think they can do, to what our instructors know they can accomplish.
HIP HOP
AGES 5 TO ADULT
Another Favorite among many of our students, Hip Hop is a style that is all about energy. Using the latest in Rap, R&B, and Pop music, as well as some of the latest moves, Hip Hop is a style all about attitude and staying current. One can ensure that they will learn everything from Poppin' & Locking, elements of Breakdance, to even the ability to Freestyle. Hip Hop is forever changing and evolving, and this class will ensure you keep up with those changes too.
TAP
AGES 2 AND UP
A class all about rhythm and syncopation, Tap is truly one of the oldest American art forms. Dedicated to the intricate footwork and grace of times gone by, Tap is a class that will not only get your feet moving to the beat but makes you feel as if you stepped right on Broadway. Encompassing everything from barre work, to across the floor, to combinations, Tap is the class where sweat is not avoidable but well worth it.
MUSICAL THEATER

Combining dance, drama, song, and character, Musical Theater will make you feel as though the audience is applauding only for you.
