Lightning Technique
This class is structured for students that are not new to dance concepts and are on a novice to beginning level of training. This class will meet once a week for 60 minutes. In this class we work on improving, the dancer’s strength, flexibility, and technical skills for leaps, jumps and turns.
The class typically will include a warmup, flexibility, and conditioning with a more intense focus on body alignment, centering, and extension that will improve overall balance and core strength, and ultimately technique.
As the class progresses, the teacher will move into practicing various leaps, jumps, and turns while correcting posture and technique with the individual dancer.
Enrollment in this class allows an instructor the opportunity to correct and improve upon skills introduced in a jazz or ballet class as well as early intervention with improper form and alignment that may impede mastering future dance skills.
Having good technique is an indication of the maturity of a dancer and thereby increases scores when performing a technical skill at a competition.

Dangerous Technique
This class is structured for students that are not new to dance concepts and are on an intermediate to advanced level of training. This class will meet once a week for 60 minutes. In this class we work on improving, the dancer’s strength, flexibility, and technical skills for leaps, jumps and turns.
The class typically will include a warmup, flexibility, and conditioning with a more intense focus on body alignment, centering, and extension that will improve overall balance and core strength, and ultimately technique.
As the class progresses, the teacher will move into practicing various leaps, jumps, and turns while correcting posture and technique with the individual dancer.
Enrollment in this class allows an instructor the opportunity to correct and improve upon skills introduced in a jazz or ballet class as well as early intervention with improper form and alignment that may impede mastering future dance skills.
Having good technique is an indication of the maturity of a dancer and thereby increases scores when performing a technical skill at a competition.
This class is a technique class only and will not participate in any of our performances or our spring recital. There will not be a costume purchase for this class.

Classical ballet is based on formalized movements and positions of the arms, feet, and body designed to enable the dancer to move with the greatest possible agility, control, speed, lightness, and grace.
Jazz dance is a style that mirrors the sounds and rhythms of the music. Generally, a fast passed movement that brings high energy and character to the movement.

Feisty Technique
This class is structured for students that are not new to dance concepts and are on a novice to beginning level of training. This class will meet once a week for 60 minutes. In this class we work on improving, the dancer’s strength, flexibility, and technical skills for leaps, jumps and turns.
The class typically will include a warmup, flexibility, and conditioning with a more intense focus on body alignment, centering, and extension that will improve overall balance and core strength, and ultimately technique.
As the class progresses, the teacher will move into practicing various leaps, jumps, and turns while correcting posture and technique with the individual dancer.
Enrollment in this class allows an instructor the opportunity to correct and improve upon skills introduced in a jazz or ballet class as well as early intervention with improper form and alignment that may impede mastering future dance skills.
Having good technique is an indication of the maturity of a dancer and thereby increases scores when performing a technical skill at a competition.
This class is a technique class only and will not participate in any of our performances or our spring recital. There will not be a costume purchase for this class.
