Contemporary ⟡ Levels II-V

Modern ⟡ Levels II-V

Contemporary dance is a dynamic and fluid style that blends ballet, modern, and jazz while encouraging dancers to explore their individuality. In our classes, students connect with the music and use movement as a form of personal expression. Experienced instructors guide dancers through exercises and choreography that emphasize fluidity, versatility, and emotional depth, helping them discover movement in its purest form.

​

Modern dance, inspired by pioneers like Martha Graham, Jose Simon, and Lester Horton, breaks free from traditional ballet to embrace a more authentic and individualistic approach. Our classes focus on breath, weight, release, dynamics, spatial awareness, and musicality. Through choreography and improvisation, dancers learn to express emotions and ideas, exploring movement that ranges from expansive and lyrical to grounded and intricate, fostering creativity, freedom, and self-expression.

Jazz ⟡ Levels Jazz Tech II, Jazz Levels III-V

Jazz combines technical precision with energy and expression. Dancers develop body placement, isolations, coordination, and musicality through exercises and choreography that explore jazz styles, directional changes, dynamics, and increasingly complex movement. As dancers advance, they refine movement quality, tackle faster and more intricate combinations, and build confidence in their performance. Level II Jazz Technique includes foundational leaps and turns; Levels III–V study these skills in a separate Leaps & Turns class, allowing Jazz to focus more deeply on style, choreography, and performance.

Acro ⟡ Levels Beginner-Advanced

Acro combines the strength, flexibility, and control of acrobatics with the fluidity of dance. While some skills overlap with gymnastics, acro focuses on floor-based movements and transitions that dancers can connect seamlessly within choreography, rather than training on apparatus such as bars, beam, or vault.

Based on the Acrobatic Arts curriculum, classes build the strength, flexibility, balance, and body control needed to develop acrobatic skills while also providing essential tools for stronger dancing across all styles. Dancers learn through step-by-step progressions, building foundations such as rolls, bridges, cartwheels, and handstands before progressing toward walkovers, aerials, and more advanced skills as they are ready. Proper technique and controlled movement remain central at every level, helping dancers grow in confidence and ability.
