Ballet/Tap- Twirl Yellow
This is a one hour class for young dancers, incorporating ballet and tap vocabulary. They begin learning the foundations of ballet and tap in an upbeat, educational environment.
*Twirl* offers a little sparkle and merriment to our current ballet/tap combo curriculum. Each dancer will receive a fun + colorful activity book, a fancy twirl ribbon, and a twirl graduation certificate upon completion of the season (Sept- June). An additional one time material fee of $33.00 is due upon enrollment.
Acro Yellow
Acro is the beautiful fusion of the artistic motion of dance and the athleticism of acrobatics. AcroDance is not the same as gymnastics. An AcroDancer must complete all of the skills on the hard stage without the advantage of a sprung floor, while seamlessly integrating musicality, emotional expression, extension, and lines. Class will incorporate different aspects of cardio, handstands, balances, limbering, bridges, and tumbling.
MUST BE ENROLLED IN A BALLET/TAP OR PRE-JAZZ CLASS
Hip Hop Yellow
This is a high energy class, jam packed with ways to gain self-confidence, rhythm, and coordination. Hip hop lets the dancers use their own personal rhythm to find their way of moving. The class will work on the basic elements of hip hop while using age appropriate music
Jazz Yellow
This class is for young dancers, introducing them to basic jazz movement. They begin by learning isolations, jumps, turns, and cross lateral movements. Each dancer’s artistic voice and creativity will be expanded upon.
