Acro/Gym or acrobatics is the art of slow controlled movements using the flexibility of the back, legs, and shoulders. Acro is one of the performing arts and involves difficult feats of balance, agility, and coordination. Gymnastics is the sport of power tumbling executed by a straight back using strength and speed. Classes will focus on increasing flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, discipline, and concentration. Emphasis will be placed on developing fundamental acrobatic techniques, and teaching skills such as handstands, chin stands, elbow stands, cartwheels, back bends, walkovers, balance, and contortion tricks, all at each student’s individual level of experience. This class combines acrobatic tumbling skills with dance elements.
Ballet is the foundation of all styles of dance. Its origins stem from Italy. It is a highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary. It is best known in the form of classical but can additionally include neoclassical and contemporary ballet. Each class begins with a ballet barre, moves to a center floor adage, petite and grand allegro, and concludes with a formal grand reverence. Students will learn terminology in French, correct body alignment, how to improve their natural turn-out, and develop a love for the most graceful living art. Pointe, as an extension to ballet, is the advancement of ballet class to hard-boxed pointe shoes. Students usually progress to pointe work between the ages of 11-12 depending on their muscular and skeletal development, as well as their dedication to practice.
Lyrical is a fusion of ballet and jazz techniques. Lyrical dance challenges choreographers to use emotion to interpret music and express emotion. A lyrical dancer’s movements attempt to show the meaning of music while telling a story through every movement made. Lyrical dance has a relatively recent history compared to other dance styles.
Jazz class will focus on learning proper dance techniques such as isolations of the body, improving performance quality, and developing complex rhythms and patterns. Students will be exposed to various styles of jazz such as Broadway, Street, and Contemporary to help develop a well-rounded dancer. The curriculum is based on ballet technique layered with traditional jazz movement and includes a proper warm-up, stretches, isolations, across-the-floor progressions, and combos.
Tap classes will develop rhythm, style, and sound. Students will learn a variety of tap styles from Broadway to Rhythm tap. Exercises focus on building flexibility of the knee and ankles, coordination, and speed of movement. Class emphasis is on developing proper tap techniques, producing clear tap sounds, and having fun!
