Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced

This is a class for the preteen to the teen dancer with a minimum of 2 years of ballet. This class is for the mature dancer who can process information in an accelerated manner. The basics of good technique will be enforced as we learn new material with more compound combinations. The class will begin with barre work, focusing on external rotation of the legs and alignment of the spine, while executing more advanced ballet steps. Followed by center work, where students will incorporate knowledge gleaned from the barre to movement in the middle of the dance floor. Due to the maturity and focus of the dancers at this level, we will move through the material at a quicker pace. Students in this class should already possess a strong understanding of proper body placement and port de bras, as well as be in full control of their turnout. We will learn more advanced vocabulary with an emphasis on strength and stamina.
Class Requirements:
Leotard (black or dark color)
Tights (pink)
Canvas split-sole ballet shoes (pink)

Lyrical/Contemporary
Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced
45 minutes
Lyrical is an expressive genre of dance that focuses on control and fluidity of movement. Heavily focused on ballet technique and terminology, dancers will develop their musicality, advance their performance skills, and solidify their ballet/jazz technique. A complete understanding of ballet technique and the ability to express emotions thru movement is necessary to succeed in this style.
Contemporary dance expands on the technique and movements learned in lyrical class. Growing over popularity in the last decade the contemporary style aims to push dancers and their movement in new directions. Experimentation and improvisation often play a large part in creating contemporary movement. Understanding how your body moves through space, shifting of weight and momentum, floor work, and overall body strength and control all play a critical role in this style of dance. This class encourages dancers to feel their movement from within and share that feeling thru performance.

Jazz
Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced
45 minutes
Jazz shares many of the same tenants as ballet, but its turns, connecting steps, runs, walks, leaps, and jumps are presented in parallel positions rather than turned out, as in ballet. Jazz is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves and footwork. Jazz also encourages the dancer to embrace personal expression. Jazz is a very fun, high energy and stylized form of dance. In this class, dancers will learn the basic movement, kicks, leaps, and turns that have been derived through the many years of the development of jazz. Dancers will also tap into their sassy side and be encouraged to use their funky attitudes from within. While finding themselves engulfed in the fast-paced movement of jazz, students are encouraged and taught to hold and move through their core ballet technique. Stretching and strengthening are a big part of the jazz class. Isolation of each body part, traveling and stage presence are also taught.
Class Requirements:
Athletic Wear

Hip Hop
Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced
45 minutes
This class teaches rhythm, musicality, coordination, and age-appropriate choreography with no suggestive lyrics or movement. This is an excellent class for high energy kids who want to take a fun dance class. Hip Hop is a style that encompasses everything from popping and locking to break-dancing, footwork, jumps, and ticking. Hip Hop dance is a balance of letting go and being loose with your body and movements, while at the same time controlling them. Whether it is fast or slow, Hip Hop is a style of dance that is filled with character, attitude, and fun!! This style of dance incorporates the tempo of jazz, but hip hop has its own look. Very low and deep into the floor, often with a hunched upper body, hip hop calls for severe hip, rib, shoulder, and head isolations. Complicated arm and hand movements are its signatures as well as multiple isolations and movements within a single note.
Class Requirements:

Musical Theater/Improv
Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced
45 minutes
This class was designed to combine 2 very important, but sometimes forgotten techniques. Though they are 2 very separate forms of dance, they work hand and hand together. We will focus on finding ourselves and bring out what we are trying to mask from the world.
Musical Theatre is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance. The story and emotional content of a musical– humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through the words, music, movement, and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole.
Dance improvisation is the process of spontaneously creating movement. Development of improvised movement material is facilitated through a variety of creative explorations including body mapping through levels, shape, and dynamics schema. Meaning the teacher is not telling you exactly what to do, the students come up with it on their own. Guiding students, but this is not a choreographed type of dance.
Class Requirements:
Athletic Wear
Barefoot | Pedini, LaDucas, or other Charter heels | Jazz Shoes
Team Prep/Stretch

This class will focus on strengthening, stretching, and progressive movement across the floor. Team Prep is a class to help get those dancers ready to try out for their Middle, High School or college Dance team. Stretching has a number of benefits for dancers and cheerleaders. This class will provide stretching to help keep muscles long and exercising them for additional strength. During the class we will teach how stretching properly helps to prevent injury, by making the muscles more pliable. In addition, students will work on improving posture, increasing flexibility and range of motion, and strengthening the muscles. It will also aim at increasing the core body strength essential for a dance and cheer. Along with Jazz technique this class will go over pom, and hip hop along with proper kick line technique.
