Our studio has limited space; therefore, we ask parents to drop off and pick up at the door. There will be a virtual observation time where you will be able to see your child's progress throughout the season. Having parents in the lobby prevents the child from connecting fully to their dance teacher which causes year-long issues. We usually keep the windows closed in early-level ballet classes for the following reasons: 1) students continuously peek out to see their parent is watching which distracts from the class, 2) students who see a parent want to leave class 3) students whose families are not watching them begin wondering why their parent isn’t watching. All Classes with 10 or more students will have a teaching assistant to assist the class.

Style of movements that consist of ballet, jazz, and modern. Students will learn improvisation. It is a very passionate class with fluid, sudden release, or abstract movements. In your movements you will extend your fingertips and toes as if you are reaching wall to wall, flowing while balancing, or pressing down into the ground.

There will be partnering and weight sharing exercises to help strengthen each muscle. Students will experience telling a story with movement in every combination or routine as they express God’s love to others.

Hip Hop I
Raymone George
Hip-hop dance is all about combining breakdancing, popping, and locking – it's a mix of culture and style. If you're into a jazzy vibe, then Jazz Funk is where it's at. You'll learn about muscle memory, timing, musicality, and nailing those choreographed routines. This class is more advance than our Hip Hop II and requires for the dancer to dance with enthusiasm, energy, and to pick up faster combinations.

When it comes to hip-hop, you gotta bring the energy and work those upper and lower body muscles. It's also great for improving your coordination, flexibility, and balance. As you nail those tricky moves, you'll level up in no time. If you want a class that's fun, upbeat, and lets your creativity shine, come join our HIP-HOP crew!

Class Uniform:
Grab a T-shirt and hip-hop sneakers from DanzStar, and wear them with black leggings. Keep your hair neat and out of your face. Don't forget to bring a water bottle!
