Our Curriculum
The Academy
of Dance offers strong dance training for children that strives to
combine a sound knowledge of dance with a love of movement. At the same
time we provide a safe and healthy environment that will allow each
dancer to build confidence and self-esteem.
Rhythm
& Movement 2s
is a delightfully fun class that incorporates both singing and
dancing which helps the very young child become familiar body movement. Creative
3 & 4s is
a wonderful movement experience inviting young dancers to explore
imagination and creativity through dance.
Classic Ballet
We at the Academy of Dance urge all students to select ballet as their basic dance form. Whether the student has professional aspirations or is merely dancing for enjoyment, ballet offers the basic discipline and technique necessary to succeed in all other dance forms. We offer ballet classes from levels 1 to Advanced. Our Ballet Instructors will evaluate each dancer and place them where they are best suited. Our studio also offers Pointe classes. Pointe is for the more experience and techniquely trained ballet dancer. These young ladies must be at least 11 to 12 years of age and has studied 3 to 4 years of intense ballet.
Tap Dancing
Jazz
– Tap 7 & 8 is
an introduction to basic tap skills and terminology. This is combined
with basic jazz step patterns which allows for a very fun and uplifting
class.
Jazz
Jazz is a highly stylized form of dance. As of late, it is also referred to as Contemporary Dance. It demands energy, strength and flexibility. Jazz dance is widely seen on commercial stages including television and Broadway.
Modern
This is a class designed for the advanced dancer. This very abstract style of dance requires the technique and discipline of classical ballet and the strength of jazz.
Hip-Hop
Hip Hop is a form of dance that was once referred to as street dance and has now become mainstream. This style of dance can be seen in many music videos.
Musical
Theater classes are
specialty classes for students interested in supplementing their dance
classes with skills necessary for musical theater performance. This is
the combination of singing, acting & staging.
