Class Descriptions
Ballet, Jazz Technique FOR 6 AND UP
Ballet is the basis for all dance styles, and greatly improves body alignment, strength, poise, and control. Our classes include exercises at the barre, in the center, and across the floor to build musicality and performance skills. Dancers wanting to increase their technical ability in order to prepare for more advanced placement should participate in ballet and jazz technique. These classes are required for competitive team members. Students will perform a ballet piece in recital along with other ballet classes within the studio. Our jazz technique classes are designed to improve dance style, flexibility, and strength. Classes begin with a full warm-up and stretch and progress into across-the-floor exercises and combinations. Ballet and Jazz technique classes are two hours in length and focus on a different genre each week.
Hip Hop FOR 6 AND UP
Hip hop classes are very popular because of their street-style choreography and limited technique and experience requirements. Beginner dancers will appreciate the fun and playful class environment. Students learn age appropriate and up-to-date choreography as seen on music videos and TV. These recreational classes perform in the spring recital for family and friends.
CREATIVE MOVEMENT 3-5 YEAR OLDS
Young dancers are given the opportunity to express themselves in a nurturing, non-competitive environment with our creative movement program especially for preschool age children. Classes include basic tap and ballet techniques, as well as creative movement to encourage artistic development. Fun, age appropriate music and singing are used to develop strong, self-confident dancers. Each dancer is awarded with treats or stickers after each class for their participation. These classes learn a ballet and tap routine to perform in the spring recital for family and friends.
Jazz AND Tap FOR 5 AND UP
These classes focus on teaching basic skills in the classic disciplines of tap and jazz to beginner level dancers. Classes include a short warm-up, floor progressions, and routine choreography. To improve choreography retention and technique, dancers participating in these classes may also take ballet and jazz technique classes. Ballet /Jazz/ tap combo classes are recreational and participate in the spring recital for family and friends.
ALL-STAR Competitive Teams FOR 6 AND UP
This program is a fun and rewarding way to expand technical and performance skills while obtaining positive feedback from leaders in the dance and performance industry. All Star Team members are provided opportunities to travel, perform in the community, and learn team sportsmanship and leadership. Dancers wanting to compete must tryout each year during the summer to be placed on a variety of All-Star teams. Competitive team members must agree to participate for an entire year and are expected to attend all required classes and events.
2010 TRYOUTS AUGUST 11 FROM 5-7PM AT THE STUDIO. CALL (502) 896-4544 FOR MORE INFO OR CLICK BELOW...
