Our Classes

Ballet is the foundation of all dance disciplines and an essential ingredient in a well-rounded dance education. Ballet introduces students to concepts and skills such as posture, poise, turnout, grace, and strength. Our unique ballet program is based on a thoughtful combination of several different syllabi including: The Royal Academy of Dancing (RAD), The Cecchetti Method, Vaganova (Russian) and the Dance Masters of America. 

This class is our pre-dance program for children aged 2 - 5. Dance Adventure 1 (ages 2-3.5) introduces basic locomotor, balance and strength skills through an imaginative lens, incorporating the fundamentals of ballet, jazz and acro. Dance Adventure 2 (ages 3.5-5) builds on this material and further develops musicality, rhythm and spacial awareness. There is a great deal of creative movement and freedom in this class, allowing our youngest dancers to safely explore the wide world of dance in a thrilling way!

Get funky and fresh in this fun class! Students will learn the latest moves from the world of hip hop, ranging from styles such as hard-hitting crumping to smooth house and everything in between.

Jazz dance is an expressive and exuberant discipline, combining classical technique with current dance trends. Our jazz classes are fun, fast paced and set to the most popular music of today. Students will learn the layered history of jazz dance and explore the many styles and trends that make up this complex and evolving discipline. If you are looking for a high-energy, exhilarating class, this is it!

Lyrical dance is where strong jazz technique meets the grace and fluidity of ballet. This class will increase dancers' ability to express themselves emotionally through their movement. 

Pointe technique encompasses both the mechanical and artistic aspects of pointe work. In particular, we are concerned with body alignment, placement of the feet, and the manner in which a dancer transitions to and from en pointe. Pointe classes are available to dancers 12 years and up with a minimum of two consecutive years of ballet training. Students must receive approval in order to begin their pointe work by Miss Jeanine or Mr. Michel

This class is designed for our tiniest aspiring acrobats, and we are very proud to offer this as a new option to our pre-schoolers! Geared towards dancers aged 4-6, this class is a great introduction to our acro program.
