Tiny Tots & Minis

As our little ones twirl, leap, and tap, they’re doing more than just dancing. They’re cultivating a keen sense of body awareness. Our classes, rooted primarily in the foundational styles of ballet and tap, offer them the tools to understand rhythm, coordination, and spatial orientation. By mastering these basics, they’re setting the stage for a deeper, more nuanced dance journey in the future.

 

Ballet

Ballet is the foundational heart of numerous dance styles, with many genres drawing deeply from its time-honored techniques. Developed over centuries, the discipline and precision of ballet are unparalleled.

Through a harmonious blend of music and movement, ballet dancers not only narrate stories but also transcend ordinary realms, captivating audiences. Its significance and influence permeate all corners of the dance world, underscoring the profound benefits and elegance inherent in mastering ballet.

Lyrical

Lyrical dance is a fusion of ballet and jazz dance techniques. Lyrical dance challenges choreographers and dancers to use motion to interpret music and express emotion. A lyrical dancer’s movements attempt to show the meaning of the music. 

Jazz

Jazz dancing is a form of dance that showcases a dancer’s individual style and originality. Every jazz dancer interprets and executes moves and steps in their own way. This type of dancing is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns. 

 

Tap

Tap dance was developed in the United States during the nineteenth century, and is popular nowadays in many parts of the world. The name comes from the tapping sound made when the small metal plates on the dancer’s shoes touch a hard floor. This lively, rhythmic tapping makes the performer not just a dancer, but also a percussive musician
