For the Curious Dancers:
All of these classes are listed as Ballet, Tap, and Jazz. A student does not have to take all three styles. For example a child that is 7 years of age with 2 years of dance experience could just sign up for Primary Tap and Jazz and not Ballet.
Primary Dance: (Ages 7 -9)
This class is an extension of Basic Dance. Even if the student has not danced before they will learn the essentials to continue their dance education in this class. It will include traditional center work for ballet. They will advance their tap skills with rhythmic music choices and develop a stronger more flexible body in jazz. Each style of dance will be 1/2 hour long. If a student does not want to take all three they do not have too, but it is strongly recommended.
Class Time: Ballet 1/2 Hour, Tap 1/2 Hour, Jazz 1/2 Hour
Elementary Dance: Ages 10+ (must have 2 years dance experiece in Primary)
This class is for younger children that have either done two years of Primary dance or older children that are either in there first or second year of dance.

Intermediate dance is for the student that has danced before and understands basic technique. This is the class that will start to push the student to becoming an experienced versatile dancer. Turns, leaps, and jumps will be stressed in this class as well as flexibilty and more difficult choreography that will challange the student to use expression and emotion. Leaps, jumps, and turns is mandatory to take Intermediate Lyrical and Contemporary.
Class Time: Ballet/ Lyrical 45 minutes, Tap 45 minutes, Jazz 45 minutes, Contemporary 45 minutes
Ballet/ Lyrical :
Lyrical dance uses both ballet and jazz technique to tell a story with the lyrics of a song. Musicality, expression, and fluidity of the body are key components of lyrical dance.
Contemporary:
Contemporary is the daughter of modern dance and also encorporates technical elements found in ballet, jazz, hip hop, and acro. While technique is a must in all styles of dance... Contemporary often allows the dancer to be free and experiment with the way their body moves in the style.
Class Time: 45 minutes
