Ballet
is the foundation of all dance and is especially useful
when learning jazz and lyrical. Given the proper alignment, posture,
technique and discipline, the dancer will have the tools to
progress in all dance forms, Our mission is to give your child poise
and grace, while focusing on placement and terminology. Ballet is
highly recommended for all students.

Pointe
is a continuation of ballet technique that is offered to
the serious student as a compliment to her regular ballet class.
Students are required to have sufficient strength in the feet and legs which
is necessary for safety and to be able to dance on their toes.
Students must be at least 11 years old and must have the required
permission from the teacher to participate in pointe.

Tap
focuses on musical phrasing and rhythms and less on the visual
aspects as portrayed in ballet. Dances are usually to jazz based music
such as Latin, Swing, and Bebop. Tap dancing builds a
strong sense of rhythm. It is recommended that a jazz or ballet class
be taken in addition to tap, to enhance the dancer's technical development.
