​​

BROADWAY​

Musical theater dance is a Broadway style jazz dance with a theatrical approach to it.  Dancers will focus on learning proper technique while also emphasizing performance skills, facial expressions, using dance for storytelling, and connecting with the audience.

TAP

A rhythmic form of dance, tap focuses on producing clear sounds from the tap shoe.  Class encourages students to master classic tap moves and challenges them to move fast while enhancing their technique.

LYRICAL

Building upon a combination of ballet and jazz technique, lyrical explores emotion with fluidity of movement.  Dancers will work on extensions, control, and balance while using movement to express the lyrics and emotions of songs.  Class will focus on the dancers' expressiveness and individual approach instead of just precision.

​

​

​HIP-HOP

With more of an urban feel, hip hop combines jazz with street style to create distinct moves and rhythms.  Dancers will be encouraged to stay grounded and loose in their movements.  Class and routines will be inspired by current pop and hip-hop music.​​​​
