Tap -  A form of dance that coordinates rhythm and timing to music projecting audible sounds. 

Pointe - Available only to our most advanced ballet students.  Students must  have mastered correct body placement, technique, and have enough strength in their ankles and legs to balance on their toes.  Students are placed on pointe by faculty recommendation only.

Lyrical - Tells a story or conveys a message through expression and dance. Movement is fluid, smooth and controlled.  Available to intermediate and advanced students who are enrolled in Ballet class.

 Theatre Dance - Is a form of dance that combines music from Broadway Musicals and dance.  Pantomime and acting play a large roll in this class to create a truly theatrical experience.  This style of dance is offered for ages 12-18.

Pilates - This program focuses on the core postural muscles that help keep the body balanced and are essential to providing support for the spine.  In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of the breath and alignment of the spine, and strengthens the deep torso muscles, which are important to help alleviate and prevent back pain.  Our school is certified by test and properly trained to teach pilates.
