STUDIO Dance Class information

Is your child a first timer testing the waters? Do your kids love dance but are also involved in other activities? Are you a teen looking for something fun to do with friends? We offer a large variety of classes for the recreational and competitive dancer!

We offer two dance sessions; our Fall/Spring session and our Summer session. The Fall/Spring session is a 30-week program and runs from the first full week after Labor Day through early May, culminating with our annual recital, “Spring Celebration of Dance”. Our classes are designed for the student who begins in September and continues through the school year. Classes may be entered, on a space available basis, through about the end of October. Our summer session includes a one-week dance camp, a four-week traditional dance program and a focus session on Strength/Flexibility during mid-August.

This class is designed for our youngest dancers. The class will focus on basic movements and introduce the dancer to the classroom/studio setting. Dancers have the option of purchasing a costume and performing in the year end recital. Dancers must be two years old to enroll in class.

This combination class offers the benefit of both tap and ballet in one. The focus in this class is to introduce the basic steps of dance through creative movement and imagery. As they progress in age, they will continue to build upon and strengthen the fundamentals of dance though proper vocabulary. Class includes 25 minutes of tap and 25 minutes of pre-ballet and will perform a tap and ballet routine in one of our spring recital shows.

Our tap and jazz class introduces our dancers to the basic movements of tap and jazz technique. Students will learn beginning movements with an emphasis on musicality, rhythm and stylization. The class offers dancers a breakdown of the steps with an emphasis on proper technique. Students dance to fun and upbeat age appropriate music while learning routines to on-trend choreography. Students will learn one routine for each class chosen and perform in one of our spring recital shows.

Classes for ages 7-9 includes 25 minutes of tap and 25 minutes of jazz. Students will learn a tap and a jazz routine and will perform in one of our spring recitals. 

For ages 10+ and 12+, individual (non-combo) classes are available ala-carte, each running 40 minutes.

Hippity Hop (4-6 Year Olds):  Hip Hop for the young dancer, this class is great for getting the wiggles out while teaching body basics used in hip hop in a fun, engaging setting. Simple choreography and big movements help little ones gain mastery of material. Super fun while burning tons of energy!

Hip Hop:  This style of dance adds diversity to a student’s training. The focus of this athletic and energetic dance class is to use isolations and free-style movement set to popular age appropriate music. 

Classes are 40 minutes. Students will learn one hippity/hip hop routine to show off their moves in one of our spring recitals.

This class is recommended for any dancer who wants to improve their technical skills while building the proper strength and flexibility. The focus of this class is aimed at strengthening specific muscle groups while incorporating full body stretches to increase flexibility and range of motion. Instructors provide a breakdown and extra help in achieving leaps and turn progressions used in all styles of dance! *Non-performance/recital class.

“No Limits Dance” is a class specifically designed for individuals ages 5 and up who have a developmental or physical disability. This all abilities class will be adaptive based upon the specific needs of each individual and will help further develop social skills, improve coordination, and boost confidence in an upbeat and supportive environment. Throughout the year we will explore several different styles of dance, including ballet, jazz, hip hop, and lyrical. The dancers will also be learning a routine that will have two optional recital performances. Dance has such an amazing impact on the lives of our dancers and it not only benefits them physically but emotionally as well and is a great way to communicate and express yourself without words. We believe it truly is “more than just dance” and are so excited to be able to spread the joy of dance with people of all abilities!
