Dance School Classes

Jazz

Levels 1-8

Jazz dance is a combination of a variety of styles that showcases individuality and performance. Originating in the 1950s, this evolving art form has a strong technical base with roots from ballet, African dance, musical theater, modern, and social dance genres. Jazz is a great form of dance for any age, developing strength, musicality, and flexibility. Students of jazz are strongly encouraged to study ballet simultaneously for the best possible jazz dance experience. Beginner, Intermediate, and advanced levels are available.

Musical Theater

Levels 1-8

Musical theater is a form of theater that combines dance and acting. Both dance and theatrical elements are found in this class. Musical theater explores classic and current musicals, and draws on the dancer’s creativity and skill to compose unique musical stories of their own. Musical theater is a high-energy class that helps build confidence, as well as improvisation and performance skills.

Tap

Levels 1-8

Tap dance is a genre influenced by African and jazz dance, in which complex rhythms are sounded out by the “taps” on the dancer’s shoes. This lively dance makes the performer not just a dancer, but also a percussive musician developing musicality, timing, and focus. Varied styles of Rhythm and Broadway Tap are available in beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.

Ballet

Levels 1-8

A classical dance form that is the foundation of many other genres in dance, ballet is a strict and formal performance technique. Originating in 15th century Italy, this French-codified dance style has a rich history throughout Europe and has been highly influential on dance globally. This traditional technique requires control, concentration, precision, and practice in order to become proficient. While enhancing these attributes, ballet builds ultimate strength and flexibility that lends itself to every other genre of dance. Various levels are available to students.

Modern/Contemporary

Levels 1-8

Modern and contemporary dance is best suited for dancers interested in exploring the art of dance by experimenting with different qualities of movement, balance, and abstract thought. This creative dance form has defined techniques but originally emerged as a rebellion to ballet. It is a stylized dance form that uses raw emotion and interpretation, dance technique, and musicality to portray a story or emotion. With a focus on natural movement and alignment, this style draws on technique to develop the artist within the dancer. Classes also draw upon inspiration from all aspects of dance to create a class constantly in search of new forms and dynamics. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels are available.

Worship Dance

Various Ages and Skill Levels

Our praise dance classes are geared towards specific ages and skill levels. The dancers utilize props, ribbons, flags, and scarves to express their hearts to the Lord. We pray, learn scripture, and share ways to apply God’s word in our lives. Instructors incorporate sign language as a way of worship and tool of expression. Multiple styles of dances are incorporated, including ballet, lyrical, and hip-hop. This variety equips students to be able to minister in dance and drama in various shows and outreach opportunities.
