Jazz dance is a fun, energetic style that blends elements of ballet with modern, hip hop, and other dance styles. In a typical class, you’ll work on basic moves like kicks, jumps/leaps, and turns, all while using rhythm and expression to the music. You’ll also learn how to control your body, stretch, and improve your coordination. The class is usually upbeat, with fast, lively music, and focuses on building strength, flexibility, and confidence. It’s a great way to get moving, express yourself, and have fun while learning new dance techniques!
Tap dance is a fun and rhythmic style of dance where you use your feet to make sounds and beats, kind of like playing a musical instrument with your shoes! In a tap class, you’ll learn different steps that create various sounds–like taps, shuffles, and flaps–while also working on timing, coordination, and rhythm. The class is all about precision and control as you tap out rhythms to the music. It’s an exciting way to express yourself through sound and movement, and you’ll feel like you’re making music with your feet!
Ballet is a beautiful and foundational style of dance that focuses on technique, strength, and grace. In a ballet class, you’ll learn a lot of basic positions and movements that help improve your balance, flexibility, and posture. You’ll practice exercises at the barre (the bar you hold onto for support) to build strength and control, and then move across the floor to practice jumps and turns. Ballet is all about precise, elegant movements, and it teaches you how to move your body with fluidity and control. It’s a great way to build a strong foundation for many other dance styles!
Hip-Hop dance is an energetic and fun style that focuses on rhythm, creativity, and expressing yourself through movement. In a hip-hop class, you’ll learn moves like isolations, body rolls, and different grooves, often set to upbeat and catchy music. It’s all about having fun and feeling the beat, with a lot of freedom to add your personal style to the moves. The class will teach you how to be confident in your movements, build coordination, and stay on rhythm. It’s a high-energy workout and a great way to express yourself while learning cool dance moves!
Contemporary dance is a modern style that combines elements from ballet, jazz, and modern dance, and it focuses a lot on expression, creativity, and storytelling. In a contemporary class, you’ll learn how to move your body in fluid, sometimes sharp movements, and you’ll often explore things like leaps, falls, and floor work. The goal is to connect deeply with the music and emotions, expressing yourself through movement. It’s a style that’s all about improvisation and personal style, so you have room to explore and be creative while learning new techniques. It’s a great way to build strength, flexibility, and emotional expression through dance!
Lyrical dance is a contemporary dance style that blends elements of ballet, jazz, and modern dance to express emotion and tell a story through movement. It is characterized by its graceful, fluid motions, and its focus on conveying the dancer’s emotional connection to the music. Through techniques like long extensions, dramatic leaps, and soft, flowing transitions, lyrical dance creates a visual experience that resonates deeply with audiences.
This expressive style encourages dancers to interpret the lyrics and mood of a song, using their body to reflect the themes of love, loss, hope, or joy.
