3-4 Yr Ballet & Tap

5-6 Yr Ballet & Jazz

This camp will run 30 minutes each day. Each class, the first 15 minutes will be ballet, and the last 15 minutes will be tap. We will focus on creative movement, free expression, body awareness and basic motor skills, all while teaching the basic elements of ballet and tap. The dancers will learn proper terminology through a center warm-up, stretch, and combination with music. Then continue with across the floor progressions. The final day of camp, during the last 5-10 minutes of class, the dancers will do a mini-show at the studio to showcase what they learned that week. Please invite family and friends! Videography and photography are more than welcome during the performance.

This camp will run 40 minutes each day. We will focus on both ballet technique and jazz technique. The beginning of each class will be structured around a proper warm-up and stretch, terminology lesson, across the floor progressions, then choreography. During all sections of class both ballet and jazz technique will be taught. Ballet is described as the solid foundation for all other forms of dance. It also forms the basis for discipline, creativity, and appreciation of dance in the art form. Proper turn out of the legs, posture, placement and alignment will be emphasized. Students will learn ballet vocabulary through barre work and center work while building strength, flexibility, energy, and athleticism. Jazz develops style, strength, and versatility in a dancer. This portion of class will also emphasize technique, terminology, flexibility, and proper execution of isolations of the body, and performance skills. The final day of camp, during the last 5-10 minutes of class, the dancers will do a mini-show at the studio to showcase what they learned that week. Please invite family and friends! Videography and photography are more than welcome during the performance.

Jazz develops style, strength, and versatility in a dancer.  The classes will be structured around a proper warm-up and stretch, across the floor progressions and combinations, center-floor technique and combinations, and performance skills and choreography.  In this class we will emphasize correct technique, terminology, flexibility, and mobility.

Hip-Hop is a highly stylized, fast paced, athletic and expressive form of jazz dance.  Individual style and interpretation is encouraged while incorporating high levels of energy.  Body isolations are the basis for the intricate movements usually inspired by hip-hop music.  All music is carefully listened to ahead of time, and will be appropriate for all ages.  The class will be structured around a cardio filled warm-up, stretching, and core strengthening exercises.
