Pre-School -Kindergarten

Music  & Movement: (2-4 yrs)

Our youngest independent dance class!  Each week is an exploration in music, rhythm, beats, and self-expression.  Children are encouraged to move their bodies and use their fine and gross motor skills.  We use tons of props, bright colors, shapes, and simple “games” to teach our pre-schoolers through play.  Children will also learn about taking turns, following directions, and working with others.  Students in this class will NOT learn routine choreography.

Dance Expression (ages 4-6)

An introductory movement class for preschoolers with a focus on fine and gross motor development, rhythm, basic dance technique, and expression through music, dance, and tons of encouragement.  Incorporates beginner dance steps with interactive music and play.  

Ninja Tumbling (ages 3.5-6)

Bounce along to the beat with this high-energy introductory dance class.  Your child will learn about rhythm, counting, and basic dance technique while being introduced to simple choreography.  Children will learn the basics of a dance warm-up, stretch, and jazz/funk choreography.

Adults (ages 16+)

Adults Dance 101: Come explore the basics of jazz, contemporary, lyrical, and hip-hop with other adults and have a blast doing it.  This class is easy enough for beginners yet still fun for those with experience- ages 16+ welcome.  Dance 101 is designed to be a fun class, where you learn simple choreography in a relaxed atmosphere. We’ll tailor this class to the adults who take it.

Summer is the PERFECT time to work on your technical skills – the tricks of dance.  The POD has incredible technique classes that will push your child to the next level.  Pair a Strength/Flexibility class with Leap/Turns/Jumps for optimal skills training.  Ballet & Acro are also available for ages 5+

Strength/Flexibility

Just like it sounds, classes will focus on building the dancers’ flexibility and strength needed to execute correct skills and choreography.  A strong emphasis will be placed on building core, arm, shoulder, and leg strength using plyometrics and targeting stretches. This is a recommended class for all dancers, and a great class to pair with Leaps/Turns/Jumps.

Leaps/Turns/Jumps

From the simple to the complex- come learn to do the “tricks” of dance. Beginner classes will focus on basic technique, while more advanced classes will work on perfection and skill combinations. This class is a must for any dancer wishing to advance up in level placement, and a great class to pair with our Strength/Flexibility.

Note: These classes do not run the week of July 4th

Classical Ballet

Our ballet program is designed to teach students the correct terminology, technique, and precise movements specific to classical and neoclassical ballet. Students will learn the Cecchetti Method of classical ballet, where they will focus on turn-out of the legs, high extension, and quality of movement. They will also be taught the Balanchine style of neoclassical ballet, which will allow students to explore a more fluid style of ballet.  In class, students will perform exercises composed of movements from the traditional vocabulary of classical ballet. It is here that their technique is maintained, strengthened, and constantly refined.

Acro for Dance

This class is designed to work on gymnastics and hip-hop tricks on the floor. Students will learn strength, technique, and flexibility skills in order to develop gross and fine motor control needed to facilitate and execute basic-to-intermediate tumbling and acrobatics. Body positions, stalls, and jumps will also be taught. Progression of the skills will be taught by level and depend upon the skill level of the individual students. This class is by placement only. Please contact the studio to set up an evaluation.
