Ballet - Ballet is a classical and foundational form of dance that emphasizes grace, precision, and discipline. It uses formalized steps and positions to express movement through intricate patterns and gestures. Ballet serves as the technical backbone of all other dance styles and is essential for a dancer’s growth and development. Our ballet classes follow the tradition and structure of the Royal Academy of Ballet.

Tap - Tap is a rhythmic style of dance where the dancer’s feet become a percussive instrument. Taps on the ball and heel of the shoe are used to strike the floor, creating sounds and patterns that align with music. Students learn time-steps, rhythm combinations, and intricate footwork in this lively and energetic class.

Jazz - Jazz is a dynamic and high-energy dance style rooted in traditional technique and set to upbeat, contemporary music. Classes focus on sharp movements, flexibility, leaps, turns, and stylized choreography that highlight performance quality and musicality.

Lyrical & Contemporary - Lyrical and contemporary dance blend the technical foundation of ballet and jazz with emotional expression and storytelling. These styles encourage dancers to connect personally with music through fluid movement, improvisation, and interpretive choreography.

Hip-Hop - Hip-hop is a high-energy, street-inspired dance style that includes elements such as breaking, locking, popping, and freestyle movement. Dancers train to develop rhythm, coordination, and confidence while moving to age-appropriate hip-hop music. Clean sneakers are required to maintain the cleanliness and safety of our studio floors.

Acrobatics & Tumbling - Acrobatics combines elements of gymnastics and dance to develop strength, flexibility, balance, and control. Students learn skills such as tumbling, contortion, partner work, and floor tricks. This style enhances overall athleticism and can be seamlessly incorporated into other dance genres.
