Lyrical/Jazz 1
In this exciting class, students will be introduced to the basic technique of jazz mixed with various elements of ballet training! Lyrical dance is a combination of ballet and jazz, which creates a beautiful fusion of powerful movements tempered with the grace of ballet. This is a highly expressive dance style usually performed to music with lyrics (hence the term "lyrical") that is both bold and beautiful, and one of the favorites among many young dancers due to its freedom of movement. Because the warm-ups and across the floor combinations in class are more jazz-influenced, taking a ballet class alongside this style is highly encouraged in order to ensure that all dancers receive the proper training in a classical dance form that will enhance their technique, strength and flexibility. We would love to have you join us!

Pre-Pointe & Pointe Technique
Our Pre-pointe and Pointe Technique class is for our students who have already mastered the basics of ballet and are moving forward with more advanced technique. Students must be approved to attend this class by the director and a co-requisite of a ballet class is required.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Pre-Pointe does not guarantee an admission to pointe. Admission to pointe is based solely upon demonstration of proper preparation. Pre-pointe is focused on training the proper muscles for pointe. One of the most important factors for admission to pointe is development of foot/ankle strength. Dancers grow and mature at different rates and have different foot and bone structures. Pre-pointe provides professional and specific exercises to maximize likelihood of admission to pointe. Pointe is the most difficult and serious of all of the dance forms offered at Sanctuary Dance Academy. Dancers must be evaluated for pointe.

Performance Team
The performance team is a wonderful opportunity to use dance to reach others with the love of God! As a performance team, students will be instructed in dance choreography from the beginning of the semester, with an extra emphasis on stage presence and presentation. Each class will also include a short devotional. While this class focuses primarily on choreography, strength, flexibility, and strong dance technique will be emphasized and students will see their abilities as a dancer continue to advance as they take part in the group!
REQUIREMENTS:
-Students must be invited to audition for the performance team.
-Students MUST take at least one ballet class in addition to the performance team class. Taking additional styles of dance are also preferred and highly recommended -- this may become a requirement in future dance years.
-Students must be committed to class. Three or more absences in a semester may mean they have a smaller part in the choreography or may be taken out of a dance altogether, if their attendance is too low.
-Students must commit to taking part in performances. At least one performance per semester will be scheduled, with additional performances possible as well. Local* performances may consist of community events, performances in assisted living homes, church events, etc.! (*Performances are considered local if they are within a one-hour drive from the studio location.)
