Dance Works Curriculum

Pre-Ballet, Tap, Tumble & Primary (ages 3-5)  These classes teach boys and girls the fundamentals of ballet and tap dance while incorporating creative movement and tumbling. The diversity of these classes holds even the busiest child's attention.

 

Ballet (ages 6-18)  Ballet is considered the foundation of artistic dance. Its meticulous attention to technical detail makes it invaluable for any dancer. Combining proper alignment and body placement, seamless transitions through standard arm, leg, and feet position along with astute sense of timing, trains dancers to be clean, versatile performers.

Tap (ages 6 - 18)  Tap is a smooth and intricate yet percussive and stylish form of dance.  Excellent for motor skills and rhythms!

 

Jazz (ages 6-18)  Although no one can pinpoint it's beginning, both Broadway and Hollywood have made these types of dance big on stage and on screen.  Jazz combines leaps, turns and jumps which create a technical style of dance.

 

Contemporary & Lyrical (ages 6-18)  A style of dance that is very grounded and favors movement driving from the expression of inner feelings.  Prerequisite:  Ballet & Jazz experience.

Drink plenty of water and bring a mat and bath towel to class.
