CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Ballet & Modern

Ballet is one of the most important classes offered and is often regarded as the basis of dance. In ballet the student will learn grace, elegance, technique, discipline, flexibility, stamina, and endurance. Students are taught classical ballet technique with proper body placement and alignment, barre and center floor work, along with across the floor combinations. As level increases, Pointe technique is introduced. All students are urged to enroll in ballet, as it is the foundation of all other dance styles and facilitates further success in these disciplines.  It is highly recommended that dancers have at least two ballet classes per week.  

Modern dance is an expansion of ballet, a free and expressive style of dance that encompasses the exciting world of total body involvement and abstract creativity.
