Pom

For dancers ages 7 & up

New this season! Pom is a high energy class that focuses on sharp, precise movements, while incorporating elements of jazz and hip-hop. Dancers can expect to work on synchronised arm movements and formations, kicks, turns, leaps, and extensions. Dancers will use poms to enhance visual impact while learning routines that emphasize strength, stamina, and teamwork. Perfect for those looking to build skills in cheer, jazz, and collegiate-style dance.

Ballet

For dancers ages 7 & up

The ballet program teaches dancers strong technique through traditional ballet. Students learn proper placement, turnout, and vocabulary in a disciplined environment, while developing strong work ethics and a solid technique foundation in a positive atmosphere. We highly recommend all dancers take at least one ballet class per week. 

Pointe classes are incorporated into the Ballet 4 class, and are by teacher approval only!

Contemporary

Contemporary classes fuse together ballet, jazz, lyrical, and modern dance styles. This style of dance challenges dancers to grow as artists through movement. Dancers will work across-the-floor and with choreography throughout the season.

Hip-Hop

These fun and upbeat classes integrate many different styles of hip-hop, including pop and lock, street, and break dancing. Students learn isolation of movement, body control techniques, and choreography as well as trending dance moves in pop culture.
