What the Classes Mean and What they Offer

Ballet (4&up)
The basis of all dance technique, students are strongly encouraged to participate in this as it builds strong, flexible muscles and engages students' sense of self.  This class works towards generating grace, poise, sound body alignment, fluidity and an appreciation for classical music.

Modern (6&up)
With a strong background in ballet, this class explores the diverse avenues of movement and ventures into interpretive skills and performance dynamic.  Students will be introduced to the teaching of Martha Graham, Jose Limon and Lester Horton and are further educated in the collaborative teaching of Irene Dowd and Peggy Baker. 

Jazz (6&up)
Upbeat and full of fun, this class promises to build strength and flexibility for all dancers.  Jazz works similarly to ballet but also requires dancers to move effectively in a turn-out and parallel position.  This is a fast-paced class geared towards improving flexibility, co-ordination, strength and stamina. Lots of hard work and fun!

Irish (5&up) currently not available
Made popular by Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, this upbeat class is based on the steps passed down from generation to generation in the form of Jigs, Reels, Horn Pipes, Slip Jigs and more. 

Highland (5&up)
Students are exposed to the Scottish cultural dances in this class and have the opportunity to learn form of Reels, Jigs and even the Sword Dances. 

Belly Dance (14&up)
Explore the mystique of Arabian and Mediterranean dances and find muscles you didn't think you had!  The art of Belly Dance is a total body workout and is done in a supportive and fun atmosphere.  Bring your sense of humour, ladies, and move things that you forgot you had!

Hip Hop (8&up)
Always a popular class!  With upbeat music and the latest moves, this class is going to get students fit while having fun.  Stemming from different forms of street dance, this is a non-technical class full of complex choreography, good music and hard work. 

Creative Movement (3-5)
Another popular class for youngsters, this entire class works in a creative atmosphere encouraging imaginations to excel.  Students in this class will develop comfortably into any genre of dance.  This class works with developing social skills, spatial orientation, balance, rhythm and musical appreciation.
