Classical Ballet
Ages 6-11
Ballet is the oldest form of dance and the building blocks to all dance forms. This class will consist of developing a solid ballet foundation consisting of proper body alignment, vocabulary, positions and ballet movements. Ballet will help develop proper posture, flexibility and body awareness and improve motor skills, self-confidence and discipline.
Syllabus

For those who have completed Pre-Ballet or another introductory ballet class.
Syllabus
Beginning Jazz-/Hip Hop
Ages 7-12
Jazz dance and Hip-Hop are an absolute blast! It is a much more free, less restricted form of dance. It’s energetic, motivating music and dynamic movements – will set you free. This class consists of warm-up exercised to develop proper alignment and technique. Students will then focus on dance combinations. Hip-Hop dance basics will be integrated to include popping, locking and whole body movement and contractions.
Syllabus

Musical Theater
Ages 7-14
This class is designed for boys and girls who love Broadway! We will learn basic steps and combinations from many different types of Broadway musicals. The students will improve their coordination, work on their stage presence and learn how to take in material quickly in this fast-paced class. Each session we'll learn a new routine, and the teacher will chose one or two for the end of the year recital. This class is for all skill levels, but is challenging for younger kids. This is a great class for aspiring actors to learn how to dance and act at the same time. The instructor encourages the students to express themselves through dance using facial expressions and exaggeration of movements.
Syllabus
*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
