DANCE

Ages 3 to Adult – All Levels
Our dance program is designed to guide students interested in pursuing the performing arts professionally, as well as recreationally. The recreational dancer can enjoy the benefits of the cardiovascular workout, music appreciation, and artistic and emotional expression within their class and in the showcases at the end of the school year. Level placement is determined by age, ability and training requirements.
These class recommendations also prepare the student physically and mentally for the opportunity to audition for and participate in the SHOWTIME SHOWSTOPPERS Performance Companies and perform in our professional and children’s theatre productions.

Pre-Ballet/Creative Dance (3-5yrs)
Class is designed to promote awareness of controlled movement to music and to teach basic motor skills to pre-school students. At a mildly structured level, we encourage body position, movement and stretching to improve co-ordination and imagination through dance.

Combo Classes (4-6 years) (Jazz and Tap)
This class serves as a link between creative dance and individual dance diciplines. The goal of this program is to develop rhythm, coordination and dance. This class teaches dance skills and adds the excitement of performance opportunities within the community. It is designed to help build self-esteem, develop motor skills, body awareness and provide group involvement.

Tap (Traditional Tap Style)
Rhythmic combinations are taught to master this fine art. Tap usually begins at the age of four.

Rhythm Tap/Int/Advanced
Intermediate and advanced level classes for dancers with more than two years of tap training. Rhythm tap is a funk tap style that emphasizes percussive beats and intricate timing and speed rather than more traditional tap “steps”.

Jazz
Concentration on style, technique, formations and use of props, combined with the characteristic movements of whatever new style of music is in. Jazz dance training helps to develop or improve timing, speed, strength, agility and coordination. Strength and flexibility are taught to the most updated music to learn this technique. Jazz can be taken at the age of five.

Ballet
Ballet training is very important to every dancers development. It is a technically structured class that is taught through barre work, across the floor and center combinations. Ballet is the basic foundation to all other dance forms.

Hip Hop
This Class is centered around hip-hop dynamics, yet concentrated on today’s video/ pop style. The focus of class comes from the combination of power, energy, style, face and technique. Transitioning technically trained dancers to understanding hip-hop style and giving street dancers a sense of technique is a strong quality with this class.
