Jazz, Hip-Hop & Modern Dance

"We are lucky... to have you."  ~ Parent of a Hip-Hop student

Youth Program
Teen/Adult Program


Jazz is a stylized theatrical form of dancing that emphasizes flexibility, progressions (turning, jumping across the floor), style and age appropriate choreography. Jazz dancing has become extremely diverse over the years. For this reason, we separate the classes with basic technique being taught in those classes marked "Jazz".

Lyrical Jazz
is smooth & sustained jazz movement that combines ballet and jazz technique -- should be taken in conjunction with a Jazz Technique class.

Hip-Hop is the dance style so popular on music videos and in pop concerts. It's also a fun activity to participate in with a friend, a great way to get some exercise and the most up-to-date moves out there!

Modern Dance is a style of dance that goes against the typical limitations of classical ballet and favors free movement that expresses the dancer's inner emotions.

YOUTH PROGRAM (Ages 6+)

Jazz/Hip-Hop 1 is geared toward the dancer who has had little to no experience. The class promotes good posture, strength, technique and rhythm. We will also focus on pas de bourrées, turns, kicks and leaps. Accelerated Jazz is an invitation only class for the young, focused dancer who wishes to progress quickly in jazz. Dancers are required to take an additional jazz or hip-hop technique class concurrently. Lyrical Jazz 1/2 is for the dancer who has had some experience in ballet or jazz. Urban Jazz 2/3 is an intermediate course that continues the work of fundamentals and technique. We will focus on building extension, turns, kicks, and leaps. Lyrical 2/3 and Urban Jazz 3/4 are for the experienced dancer and should not be taken without at least two or three years of jazz technique training. Our Jazz Technique class is for dancers who are in levels 2 to 5, and focuses on building strength and exploring various methods from Giordano to Fosse.

Our Hip-Hop 1/2 is a continuation of Hip-Hop 1 and should be taken by those students who have studied either jazz or hip-hop before. Accelerated Hip-Hop is an invitation only class that moves at a quicker pace and requires that you take a concurrent jazz class. Hip-Hop 3/4 class is for the intermediate/advanced hip-hop student and you should receive permission from the instructor or director before signing up for this class.
