 2010-2011 School Year Classes & Tuition Info Below. Fall Classes begin September 7th!

Jazz: A fun upbeat style of dance. Current stylish moves combined with the basics of ballet technique. Energetic, popular music and moves are used which makes this class a favorite. Dancers wear black jazz shoes and appropriate dance clothes.

Tap: A style of dance using shoes with taps on the bottom to create sounds and rhythms. This style is great for coordination and is always a lot of fun! Dancers wear black tap shoes and appropriate dance clothes.

Ballet: Classical form of dance. Ballet is the basis for all other types of dance. Working at the barre, center floor, and progressions accross the floor to develop the dancers technique. Dancers wear pink ballet shoes, a leotard and tights, or tight fitted dance clothes.

Hip Hop: A fun and freestyle type of dance. Dancers wear tennis shoes and a relaxed form of attire.  This style allows dancers to really put their own style into their moves. It is a style of dance that you would see on a music video.

Lyrical: This is an expressive form of dance that tells a story through movement. This style combines ballet and jazz technique so dancers should have previously taken those classes. Dancers may wear jazz shoes or ballet shoes, and appropriate dance clothes.

Pom: A fun style of dance that combines jazz with pom-pom. This class is a lot like what a high school or college dance team does. This class works on jazz technique as well as arm and motion technique.

Recreational Cheer Classes: Tiny Tots Cheer, Mini Cheer, Youth Cheer, Junior Cheer & Senior Cher. These classes are fun and energetic recreational cheer classes. These classes work on the basics of cheerleading, stunting, and tumbling. This is a great class for fun and to prepare students who wish to eventually try out for the competition cheer teams or High School cheer. ALL of the rec. cheer classes perform in the annual recital.

H.S. Cheer Prep Class: This is an excellent class for the older students who are just beginning their cheer training or for the students who want to get in some extra practice before tryouts. This class will help prepare students for their school or our competition team tryouts. This class will focus on arm motions, jumps, stunting, cheer dancing, and tumbling.

Co-Ed Stunting- A class to prepare students for College Cheer Tryouts as well as improve their skills as a flyer on their competition team. The classes will focus on stunting (All-Girl & Co-Ed) by Levels. We have a Level 2/3, Level 3/4 and Level 4/5 Class. Stundents must master the skills in each level before moving up.

This class is great for students who have previously taken Cheer for Fun or H.S. Prep Class and want to move on to something more advanced and serious.
