Jazz - This class is a mix of traditional jazz, funk jazz and musical theatre jazz. In this class students will focus on flexibility, corner work and technique. Combinations and a routine are worked on. We aim to use age appropriate music and don’t use inappropriate moves in our choreography. All junior and intermediate classes are 45 minutes in duration and seniors are 60 minutes.
Tap - Students like this class because it’s noisy. It teaches rhythm and coordination. We follow the Glenn Wood Tap Syllabus. Students may choose whether or not they want to participate in the exams. The class consists of barre, centre, corner and a routine. Shoes with tap plates are used. Please see your teacher before purchasing shoes.
Ballet - This class involves deportment, technique, poise and grace. Ballet gives strength and coordination. Ballet is the foundation for all other dance styles and is essential for any student who is serious about their dancing.
Hip Hop - Hip Hop is an expression of free movement. The latest music is used. The style is similar to what is used on many commercial video clips today. Dance to the latest music and be challenged. This is a 60 minute class for our teens.
JFH - Students will be exposed to elements of jazz, funk and hip hop in this combined 45 minute class. Groove to the latest music. Classes available for 6-9 years and 9-12 years.
Song and Dance - This class begins with vocal warm ups and exercises. The students will then analyze and learn lyrics. We work on diction, breath control and technique. Steps are taught and a song and dance is created. Age appropriate songs are chosen.
Drama - Students will be introduced to script reading & creating, games and improvisation. Drama is a great confidence booster. So come along and give it a try, we'll soon have you out of your shell.
Modern Expressive/Lyrical - This class is more relaxed than a ballet class and lyrical music is used. Technique is focused on as well as stretch, strength and poise. The moves are slow and expressive with an emphasis placed on technique. This class is currently available to our teens.
