Our Teen program is designed for dancers ready to strengthen their technique, deepen their artistry, and continue developing their individual style and love for dance. Classes take a more detailed look at each dance form, incorporating advanced skills, choreography, musicality, and an understanding of the unique qualities of each style.

 

Dancers will build upon their fundamental knowledge while focusing on proper technique, strength, control, versatility, and artistic expression as they continue to grow into confident, well-rounded performers.

 

Dancers may choose from Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary/Modern, and Hip-Hop. Additional class options include Musical Theater, Pre-Pointe, Dance Team Prep, and Acro, giving dancers even more opportunities to explore their interests and expand their training.

 

Each performance class will learn a routine to perform in our year-end recital!

 

*Musical Theater is a longer class designed to incorporate dance and performance while giving dancers time to explore characterization, storytelling, lip syncing, and stage presence.

 

*Pre-Pointe/Pointe is for dancers looking for the next step from Ballet. Classes will focus on proper turnout, alignment, balance, and building core, foot, calf, and ankle strength. When a dancer demonstrates the necessary strength, technique, and maturity, their instructor will advise the family when they are ready to be fitted for pointe shoes. Dancers will then gradually begin working en pointe at the barre, building strength and confidence before progressing to center work.

 

*Dance Team Prep is designed for dancers interested in school dance teams or looking to strengthen their precision skills. Dancers will work on technique, flexibility, strength, leaps, turns, jumps, and combinations commonly seen in dance team styles. *This class with run MONTHLY (not weekly), on Saturdays.
