Ages 8-12

A mixed-level class designed to challenge more mature beginning dancers and re-center more advanced dancers on the central principles of ballet. Special emphasis is placed on alignment, stretching, and strengthening; and the class culminates in dynamic choreographic phrases.

Beginning Contemporary is designed as a supplement to Advanced Beginning Ballet to introduce ballet students the more flowing competencies of Contemporary Dance.  Dancers in this 30-minute class transition directly from the prerequisite ballet class into foundational modern dance exercises that increase into complex choreography.  

Ages 8-12

Designed for intermediate level, older kids who love to dance around to pop music, this fun and energetic class devoted to urban dance forms builds upon the foundations established in Hip Hop 1.
