Curriculum

Our dancers study a comprehensive curriculum that emphasizes the importance of versatility, technical proficiency and artistic development. 

​

A dancer's weekly schedule may include:

Our hip hop classes explore a number of hip hop movement styles. Students also learn about aspects of hip hop history and culture that are relevant to the movement.



Jazz

Our jazz classes combine modern and ballet techniques with dynamic movement and/or theatre jazz vocabulary. Jazz classes also develop jumps/turns skills.
