Student Division Dance Classes
Our Teen classes are reserved for Teens only. We do not place them with younger students. The School Year Dance Program runs from September - May. Each dance class meets once per week during the school year. We find this is the best way to build skills and confidence so we can present our dancers on stage and in costume during our Spring Recitals in. Class placement is based on grade and experience.
Dance Focus Program
Our Dance Focus Program is for dancers in grades 3+ looking to make a greater commitment to dance and higher expectations of regular attendance and training. In our Dance Focus Program, dancers attend dance classes twice per week during the school year. On one day they attend an hour of Ballet Technique, which is a non performing dance class. On another day, dancers attend their choice of performance dance classes including Ballet, Tap and Jazz.
Teen Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical and Musical Theater Dance Classes
Ballet is the foundation of dance, offering the student a chance to connect with their body. Jazz is high energy dance with fun, upbeat music, developing dancers’ rhythm and expression. Leaps and turns are an essential part of this dance class. Musical Theater offers teens improvement in their movement quality geared for the acting stage. Some dance experience is recommended.
