Dance
BALLET
Ballet is the foundation of all dance styles. Students at all levels learn the standard French terms for their technique. Students progress gradually through repetition of basics and introduction of new steps to develop strength, technique, style, expression, body placement and musicality. Students may spend a few years at one level.
TAP
All levels learn tap terminology, while they learn the moves. Students develop rhythm and coordination on musical feet. Students are taught traditional, and contemporary jazz/tap techniques.
