Jazz & Tap Combo Classes
Combination classes provide dancers with an introduction to both jazz and tap dance styles. Dancers will learn both dance styles through the lens of rhythm, technique, and performance. Combination classes progress by grade sections for all dancers in 1st-5th grade.
Hip-Hop
Hip-hop classes emphasize groove-based movement, rhythm, footwork, and various steps and elements pulled from urban and street dance forms. This class is a dancer favorite, and is great for all new and experienced dancers to let go and have fun with movement!
Recreational hip-hop classes progress by grade section for 1st-5th graders. Dancers in 6th grade or older have the option to audition for our competitive hip-hop groups.

All technique classes focus on body placement, body awareness, and performance. Dancers in 6th grade or above may enroll in jazz technique.
