Class Descriptions

Classes for Toddlers-Kindergarten

Tumble and Twirl (3s, 4s and Kindergarten) with Ms. Alex Lopez: Join us for a playful and exciting beginner’s dance and acro class. There will be both basic ballet skills and safe intro to gymnastics stretches and exercises. Part dance, part tumbling, and loads of fun.

Jazz Classes

All jazz classes are fun and upbeat dance classes danced to Jewish music or non-Jewish music without lyrics. Students will gain skills in basic jazz technique and terminology, as well as working on leaps and turns, progressively put together in more complicated and intricate sequences.

Jazz 1/2: For new students, 1st-3rd Graders

Jazz 3 and Jazz 4: For students who placed into these classes

Teen Contemporary: For students who placed into these classes

All students who want to join a jazz class but did not take last year can reach out to see what class would be the best suited for their skill level. They may be recommended to try a level in order to see if its the right fit for them.

Jazz 3 and above will not be opening for new enrollment in the Winter/Spring. All students who wish to perform with these classes in June need to be enrolled in the Fall Session.

Ballet Classes

Ballet is the basic fundamental building blocks of all classical and contemporary dance forms. Students learn fundamental ballet technique through barre work, center exercises, and across the floor combinations designed to improve coordination, flexibility, endurance, and musicality.

Ballet 1/2: For beginner students grades 1-3.

Ballet 3-6: Students who have been placed into these levels.

Tween/Teen Beginner Ballet: Any students (ages 9+) who wish to join a ballet class but do not have previous experience. The goal of this class is to fast-track them over the course of the year to then be able to mainstream into the other Ballet classes with their peers.

Pre-pointe: This class is open to any student in Ballet 3 and above who is interested in building up the muscles and flexibility to be on pointe. Students will be individually evaluated periodically to determine readiness for pointe. This class will have its own piece in the June performance.

Students who did not take last year but who have previous experience can reach out to see what class would be the best suited for their skill level.

All Ballet Classes (except for Ballet 1/2) will not be opening for new enrollment in the Winter/Spring. All students who wish to perform with these classes in June need to be enrolled in the Fall Session.

Acro Dance

Acro Dance is the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements.

All Acro students who took last year will receive their placement based on their work in classes last year.

Any prospective students who want to join an Acro class but did not take Acro last year can send in a video to get placed.
