Ages 12+
TEEN DANCE
This class is a progressive step in our jazz and hip hop series. This class provides an opportunity for our dancers to be able to explore and combine popular genres leading the industry and work to build the necessary strength and conditioning required for dance success. We focus on self confidence and providing a safe and comfortable environment for our dancers to try new skills.
DRESS: Form fitting dance attire. Half soles, turning shoes, or foot undeez. Hair pulled back and away from the face. No jewelry.
CONTEMPORARY 2
This is a progressive step from our Contemporary 1 class. As our dancers progress in age they are able to experiment with portraying more emotion and creativity to their choreography in this class. We focus on picking up on combos, creating a connection with your audience, and learning to improv. We would highly recommend this class for those interested in trying out for a high school or jr high dance or drill team.

DANCE TECHNIQUE (Ages 14+)
This class focuses on strength, conditioning, and technique. It is geared to take your current technical skills to the next level. Improve your balance, turns, leaps, and kicks and then work these skills into across the floor combos with an emphasis on learning to pick up choreography quickly. This class is a must for anyone interested in trying out for drill team or dance company. It pairs perfectly with the Contemporary 2 class.

BALLET
Ballet is at the foundation of all dance genres. It builds strength and flexibility while teaching an artform that has been around for over 100 years. Our classical ballet program incorporates barre exercises, center work, and various classical and new combos for our dancers to experience. Each year, our ballet dancers participate in their own ballet production that is separate from the studio recital. If your dancer is interested in taking one of our ballet classes, please let us know and we will direct you to the right class for your dancer. As dancers progress in age, they will take two ballet classes a week instead of one. Ballet is a required class for all competition dancers.
DRESS: Black leotard, pink tights, and pink ballet shoes. No bare feet or jazz shoes. Hair should be pulled back into a ballet bun with no bangs or loose hairs. No jewelry.
POINTE 1 and POINTE 2
Pointe is a tough yet beautiful and fascinating skill to perform. All dancers at the appropriate age may take Pointe Prep. In this class our focus is to ensure that our dancers are strong enough to start on pointe by demonstrating correct technique and strength in their technique shoes. A dancer will progress from Pointe Prep to Pointe 1 and then to Pointe 2 by the recommendation of their ballet teacher.
DRESS: Black leotard, pink tights, and pink pointe shoes. Pink ballet technique shoes will be used only in Pointe Prep. Hair should be pulled back into a ballet bun with no bangs or loose hairs. No jewelry.
