TECHNIQUE/ CONDITIONING
Technique is the fundamentals of dance, made possible by a strong and flexible body. Foundational kinesiology principals will be executed using props such as bands, blocks and yoga balls to increase athleticism while giving specific feedback for stronger dance technique.
ATHLETIC BALLET TECHNIQUE
Ballet is the foundation for all dance and is also used in technique, jazz and lyrical styles. We will discover functional ballet moves that transfer to all dance styles, gymnastics and ice skating. Dancers should wear a black leotard, tan tights and ballet shoes. Cover ups or shorts may be worn.
ACRO FOR DANCE
Dancers can expect to learn the mechanics, athleticism and technique of acrobatics as it is used specifically for dance. Skills are trained to be performed without equipment such as backflips, handsprings and tucks. Dancers will progress through levels as their skill increases, regardless of age.
YOUTH FLEXIBILITY & STABILITY
A focused class specifically to optimize muscles for overall athleticism and provide a deeper understanding of how muscles and core stability are involved in movement with an emphasis on flexibility training.
POM & DANCE TRAINING
Dancers can expect to learn the the basic movements of pom & dance. This class is perfect for those looking for an introduction into dance without the commitment of recitals and competitions. Classes are upbeat, fun, and engaging.
