TECHNIQUE DESCRIPTIONS
"Tap dance is a form of dance characterized by using the sound of one's tap shoes hitting the floor as a percussive instrument. As such, it is also commonly considered to be a form of music."
"Ballet is a type of performance dance, that originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century, and which was further developed in France and Russia as a concert dance form. It has since become a highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary. It is primarily performed with the accompaniment of classical music and has been influential as a form of dance globally"
"Jazz dancing is a form of dance that showcases a dancer's individual style and originality. Every jazz dancer interprets and executes moves and steps in their own way. This type of dancing is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns. To excel in jazz, dancers need a strong background in ballet, as it encourages grace and balance."
"Hip hop developed from several cultures, including jazz, rock, tap and American and Latino cultures. Hip hop is a very energetic form of dancing. It is unique in that it allows its dancers to perform with freedom of movement, adding in their own personalities."
"Lyrical dance is a dance style that blends ballet and jazz dance. Lyrical is generally smoother and a bit faster than ballet, but not quite as fast as jazz. A lyrical dancer uses movement to express strong emotions."
"Gymnastics is a sport that consists of various events, giving gymnasts a wide variety of options for showing off strength and ability. With each event comes a specifically designed piece of equipment that allows the gymnast to safely and accurately perform the routine." Our gymnastics program includes, tumbling, bars, balance beam & vault.
Pointe is an advanced level of Ballet that requires a special type of shoe that allows dancers to press up fully on their toes. 12 years and up + 3 years experience in ballet required.
