Ballet, Tap, Creative Dance  Combinations-

Dancing Babies-    12 months -3 years old

Dancing Darlings-   4 years- 6 years old

Dancing Combos-   7 years and up

These are combination classes made to introduce young or 1st time dancers to Ballet, Tap and Jazz. We want our little ones to discover a love for dance while learning to point their toes, develop balance, listen carefully and recognize proper arm and foot placement.  With quickly moving activities and fun age appropriate music dancers absorb the basics and get to know how their bodies move.

​

Dancing Babies- 

This class is designed as a low-pressure, relaxed introduction to movement and a great opportunity to socialize with children their own age. Dancers and parents will be barefoot as we work on stretching, basic motor development with the use of fun colorful props including a parachute! We use classic songs like the hokey pokey and Monkeys jumping on the bed to encourage memorization and music recognition.

We have lovingly nicknamed this class:

"Adults move around like crazy while the kids look at us funny"

This class is always full of laughs and fun!! 

An adult must accompany each child throughout the class. Walking ability is important! 

Hip Hop Classes

Hip Hop is a high energy class that starts with basic Hip Hop technique and infused classic Hip Hop styles with the latest street dancing.  Classes will encourage students to step outside of the box by bringing their own individual style and personality to the movements. Hip Hop dance requires students to have the strength and stamina to successfully perform moves, therefore class includes upper and lower body conditioning as well as a rigorous warm-up to help prepare students for intense movements

We offer Hip Hop to ages 4 years to adults, check the schedule here to see when they are offered

Drop in's always welcome!!

This class focuses on expressive movement, fluid transitions, and natural forms.  Contemporary modern technique builds from foundations of working with/against gravity, contracting and releasing, basic coordination and illustration emotions through organic, physical movement.

Students dance in bare feet

Belly Dance-

Don't be afraid to feel beautiful in your own skin! Be proud of your womanly form!

Raqs Sharqi or Eastern Dance commonly called "Belly Dance" is a dance form available to all ages, shapes, and sizes. Raqs Sharqi style meaning "Dance of the Orient" is a classical cabaret style of Egyptian dancing developed during the early 20th century. 

Miss. Renah's foundational series of classes will focus on the "classical" body alignment, movements used at every level of this dance to reduce injuries, encourage fun and celebrate femininity!  

Each class hour will have a warm up, technique, choreography, and cool-down segments. Throughout the course students will be introduced to both the cultural considerations and the varied rich histories surrounding this beautiful and exotic art form.

Classes will include choreography to work on flow and tie what you learn together, so you can leave with a completed piece. The class will conclude with a cool down and stretch session.

What to wear???

Please wear a tank top and shorts to class so you can get used to the pole on your skin, you might bruise or get a "pole burn" but that is half the fun! Your skin will get used to it after awhile. You are welcome to layer up and take off warmer layers as you get comfortable.
