Acro Levels

Side Barre ;)

Dance is an ever-developing and changing art form. As ballet developed into modern and jazz, and those developed into contemporary, the spectrum of what is what can at times seem blurred. Because of this, Modern/Contemporary classes or Lyrical/Contemporary classes may be combined on our schedules. 

Style Descriptions

Tap – Dancers use their feet like instruments, creating rhythm and music through precise footwork, timing, and sound. Attire: comfortable, moveable clothings, black tap shoes, hair secured away from face. No jeans/dresses.

Jazz – A high-energy style that blends technique with personality, emphasizing style, strength, and performance. Attire: comfortable, moveable clothings, black jazz shoes, hair secured away from face. No jeans/dresses.

Modern – Rooted in expression and grounded movement, modern dance explores emotion, freedom, and creativity through the body. Attire: comfortable, moveable clothings, bare feet, hair secured away from face. No jeans/dresses.

Hip Hop – A dynamic, street-inspired style full of rhythm, individuality, and bold movement drawn from urban dance culture. Attire: comfortable, moveable clothings, clean tennis shoes not worn outside, hair secured away from face. No jeans/dresses.
