Jazz class will focus on learning proper dance technique such as isolations of the body, improving performance quality and developing complex rhythms and patterns. Skills such as leaps and turns are incorporated into choreographed routines. Students will be exposed to various styles of jazz such as Broadway, Street and Contemporary to help develop a well rounded dancer.

Modern class will incorporate many of the foundations of modern dance technique, including suspension and release, fall and recovery, the use of momentum and connecting breath with movement. Dancers will explore new ways of moving in combinations, floor work and partnering, and also in various methods of improvisation.

Classes are designed to develop rhythm, style and sound. Students will learn a variety of tap styles from Hoffing to Broadway to Rockette tap. Exercises focus on building flexibility of the legs, knees and ankles, coordination, and speed of movement.

This class will teach students, through repetition, how to safely and effectively execute skills with strength, power, agility, and control.  All classes begin with a cardio warm-up followed by stretching with a focus on the ankles, wrists, neck, and back and conclude with conditioning. In each class, students will learn body awareness and how to correctly fall out of a skill without injury.  Classes focus on a wide variety of skills including forward rolls, handstands, back and front walkovers, aerials, front and back handsprings, jumps, and leg holds. *This class will not perform in the June Recital.
