CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Jazz 

  • Focusing on jazz technique and fundamentals with theatrical, modern and contemporary influences.

Ballet Classes

  • Strong focus on Cecchetti Method and using core to give dance foundation for all other styles.

Modern

  • This class delves into fall & recover technique, post-modern concert dance, and especially Afro-modern (Dunham Technique).  The Dunham Technique is based around breathing, pushing the limits of expression and has a deep ballet foundation.

Contemporary

  • In this class, the dancer is encouraged to use their emotions and moods to design their own steps and routines. It is not unusual for dancers to invent new steps for their routines, instead of following a structured code of technique, as in ballet. They also follow the natural rhythm of their own body as well as learn a lyrical and continuous way of moving.
