Teen Sensations

Our teen sensations begin to master improvisation, full-body movement, floor work, self-expression and advanced techniques and lifts. The classroom focus will be on appropriate etiquette, respect for others and self-confidence. Teen sensations master strength, flexibility and stage showmanship. You have the options of:

Intermediate Ballet

One of the most popular classes world wide. Each will begin class with stretches in the center specific to strengthening the feet. They will then go to the ballet barre to work on basic technique, as well as, learn more detailed combinations, involving port de bras (use of upper body, head, and arms). Dancers will be encouraged to count the music and name the steps. They will begin learning about turnout and correct body placement. They will expand their repertoire of jumps in simple form at the barre. Center work will consist of combining three or more steps and dancers will work to improve their turns through spotting and proper use of the arms. Corner work will combine two or more steps which travel across the floor. They will learn the names of important muscles used in ballet and be given literature on anatomy for dancers.

Contemporary

Contemporary dance classes are a combined curriculum of modern and lyrical, often utilizing improvisation, floor-work, partnering and performing in bare feet. Contemporary as a dance style in itself is defined, in part, as a fusion of ballet and jazz, demanding technical skill, musicality and an expression of emotion.

Jazz

One of the most popular and well-known forms of dance. Jazz dance includes strength, flexibility and conditioning technique and progressions including turns, kicks and leaps. In a Jazz class the dancers also learn many fun and trendy dance steps that are used for all forms of dance. It is a wonderful class to get a well-rounded variety of all dance steps. Dancers will learn choreography to popular and age appropriate music of today along with vintage styles of jazz from the last decades. This is a perfect class to start your dance training.
