Class & Program Descriptions
Adult Classes
Discipline: As Specified Below
Class Type: Recreational
Class Title: Ballet Adult
Student Age: Ages 19+
Discipline: Dance
Adult ballet requires no prior ballet experience. Only a love and desire to learn. Basic ballet skills will be taught at first, and then expanded on and developed at a pace that is desired by the class as a whole. Ballet strengthens the core, builds flexibility, and develops grace, poise and posture. It is an art built on discipline and requires a keen mind/body connection. It can take years and years to perfect even the most simple ballet step, which is wonderful for an adult looking for a new challenge in their life. Warm, accepting and attentive staff helps new comers feel comfortable in this safe learning environment.
Class Title: Tap Adult
Student Age: Ages 19+
Discipline: Dance
In an inviting setting, with a fun experienced instructor, we start at a slow pace at the beginning of the year by learning all elements in grade 3. As the early skills get mastered throughout the year and we jump to grade 4,5,6 still levels, teaching the most important and fun steps from those grades. We combine all the steps together into a fun dance routine at the end of each class so that memorization and skill combination is also learned.
Class Title: Jazz/Hip Hop Adult
Student Age: Ages 19+
Discipline: Dance
Adult Jazz/Hip Hop is a fun, upbeat and exciting class for adults who want to challenge their minds and bodies to work in sync with each other. With a warm inviting instructor, adults will enjoy a dancers stretch and some strengthening, before moving into simple and fun jazz combinations. Some movement across the room will be taught, and choreography will be a focus. The skill level will advance as the instructor assesses the improvement of the class overall. Having fun is always the main goal in this class.
Class Title: 20-Something Combo Class

Progressions across the floor, technique and fun choreography are all combined to create a refreshing challenge to dancers who are too old for teen classes, and too advanced for a typical adult class.
