Ballet Classes

Ballet is a formalized kind of performance dance. It is primarily performed with the accompaniment of classical music and has been influential as a form of dance globally.  This type of dancing is very hard to achieve and takes much practice to master. It is best known in the form of Late Romantic Ballet or Ballet Blanc, which preoccupies itself with the female dancer to the exclusion of almost all else, focusing on pointe work, flowing, precise acrobatic movements, and often presenting the dancers in the conventional short white French tutu.

Jazz Dance Classes

Jazz has become one of the most popular dance styles in recent years, mainly due to its popularity on television shows, movies, music videos and commercials. Jazz dancing is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns. Every jazz dancer interprets and executes moves and steps in their own way, showcasing their own individual style and originality.  To excel in jazz, dancers need a strong background in ballet, as it encourages grace and balance.

Hip Hop Dance Classes

Hip-Hop dance refers to social or choreographed dance styles primarily performed to hip-hop music or that have evolved as part of hip-hop culture. This includes a wide range of styles notably breaking, locking, and popping which were developed in the 1970's by Black and Latino Americans. What separates hip-hop dance from other forms of dance is that it is often freestyle (improvisational) in nature.

Tap Dancing Classes

Tap dance is characterized by a tapping sound that is created from metal plates attached to the ball and heel of the dancer's shoe. When tapped against a hard surface, these plates create a percussive sound and as such the dancers are considered to be musicians.  Tap dancers make frequent use of syncopation and improvisation, following the beats provided or without musical accompaniment, otherwise known as a cappella dancing.

Contemporary Dance Classes

Modern or contemporary dance centers on a dancer's own interpretations instead of structured steps, as in traditional ballet dancing. Modern dance encourages dancers to use their emotions and moods to design their own steps and routines. Whereas classical ballet dancers strive to be light and airy on their feet, modern dancers often use their body weight to enhance movement. A modern dancer rejects the classical ballet stance of an upright, erect body, often opting instead for deliberate falls to the floor.
