Class Descriptions

Conditioning for Dance

Get in shape and move that body. This class will stretch, strengthen and make you sweat. It will combine technique from the exercise room to the dance room. This class will improve flexibility; strengthen balance, posture, circulation, and relaxation

Hip Hop

An energizing, fast moving dance form coordinating rhythms into dance patterns. Dance to your favorite radio hits and learn the latest dance styles seen on television and movies.

Musical Theatre

Express yourself using your stage presence and facial expressions in movement. Singing, improvisation work, vocalization will also be encouraged through monologues and a mini commercial demonstration. Videotaping may occur.

Modern Dance / Jazz

A stylized form of dance. Children learn to control, extend, lengthen and express movement to their fullest. Class consists of a mini warm-up, isolations, across-the-floor combinations and routine. Ballet vocabulary and technique will uniquely be introduced during class.

Tap

Learn various styles of tap dancing ranging from Broadway tap to the latest jazz tap styles. Tap shoes will not be required. Please inquire about our gently used dance shoes at our studio.

Social Dance & Line Dancing

Basic steps of various social dance forms will be introduced. Children will learn swing, salsa, hustle, waltz and more. Children will learn the concept of how to follow and lead using their dance friends as their partners. Designed to be fun and energetic!

Irish Step / Belly Dancing

Both styles provide good cardio-vascular workout and helps increase both flexibility and strength. While Irish Step concentrates on balance, rhythm, footwork and posture, Belly Dancing emphasizes muscular “isolations”, teaching the ability to move various muscles or muscle groups independently.

Dance Elective

This class will vary from day to day. Our staff will introduce games, crafts, movies and preparation for show-time. On Thursdays we will walk down and participate at Plaster Fun Time. Children will also have an opportunity to team up with other members of their class and learn to choreograph.
