Ballet 1, 2 & 3

Our ballet faculty members have collective decades of experience and share the belief that ballet technique should be taught with a foundation in correct mechanics and placement, building on the basics to incorporate beauty, strength and performance.

As dancers advance, personal artistry, musicality and presentation are strongly emphasized, with athleticism being every bit as important to the ballet experience as elegance and grace. (Ages 6-13)

Jazz 1, 2 & 3

Jazz showcases each dancer’s individual style.  Energetic and fun, it uses hips and syncopation, fancy footwork, and for the more advanced dancer, kicks, leaps and turns. In our Junior Division, lyrical and contemporary dance are also incorporated, with a great emphasis on floor work as well as the freedom of the torso and body. 

All our jazz styles build from classical ballet technique and are crucial to the training of today’s dancer. Jazz, lyrical and contemporary will particularly appeal to those students wishing to express themselves fully and individually while dancing. (Ages 7-13)
