BALLET
Ballet is considered the foundation of technique. Classes focus on the classical elements of ballet, teaching students proper technique and body alignment. Classes demand high focus from the student but are very valuable to their progression as a dancer. Sound ballet technique is essential for strength, power, and execution of each dancer.
Required Attire: Pink ballet tights, black leotard, hair pulled back off neck and face. Ballet shoes required. Ballet warm-ups OK. No t-shirts or tanks allowed.
JAZZ
Jazz classes focus on both classic and current styles of jazz, while keeping emphasis on technique, center, and placement. Creative routines are taught and dancers learn how to interpret their music with control and fluidity. Classes integrate the fundamentals of ballet for proper technique, while using upbeat music and movement. We highly recommend students continue ballet training while taking jazz.
