Dance Genres Explained

Ballet is the foundation of every dancer’s journey.
Through barre and center work, students build strength, control, and grace while learning the essential technique and timeless vocabulary that supports all styles of dance. 

Contemporary dance brings emotion to motion.
Rooted in the beauty of ballet and energized by the edge of jazz, contemporary invites dancers to move with feeling and intention. Each step becomes a form of expression, blending fluid lines with bold accents to tell a story through movement. 

Hip hop is energy, rhythm, and culture in motion.
Rooted in street dance and driven by the beat, this dynamic style blends freestyle, creativity, and personal expression. With elements like popping, locking, and breaking, dancers learn to move with power and precision — all while connecting to one of the most influential dance forms in the world. 

Jazz is where style meets energy.
Rooted in ballet technique but bursting with personality, jazz dance blends sharp precision with bold, expressive movement. Set to upbeat, popular music, students build strength, refine their technique, and sharpen their performance skills — all while learning to move with confidence and flair. 

Leaps & Turns is where technique takes flight.
Designed for dancers who want to refine their jumps, perfect their turns, and elevate their overall control, this class focuses on the technical foundations of both ballet and jazz. It’s all about building power, precision, and confidence — one turn and one leap at a time. 

Pointe is where strength meets grace at the very tip of the toe.
This advanced extension of ballet challenges dancers to rise fully onto pointe shoes, combining precise technique with artistry. With a focus on alignment, control, and fluid transitions, dancers develop both the mechanical skill and expressive beauty that define classical pointe work. 

Power builds the strength behind every step.
This class focuses on core stability, flexibility, and endurance — the essential elements that support strong, confident dancing. With an emphasis on conditioning and control, dancers develop the foundation they need to move with precision, power, and grace.

Tap dance is where your feet become the music.
This lively style brings rhythm and sound to life as dancers create intricate beats through every step. With a focus on timing, coordination, and musicality, students learn to turn movement into a dynamic, toe-tapping performance.
