Ballet is the most beneficial form of dance for body placement and is the best foundation for all other dance forms.

Tap Dance
Tap dance is a form of dance characterized by using the sound of one’s tap shoes hitting the floor as a percussive instrument. As such, it is also commonly considered to be a form of music. Two major variations of tap dance exist: rhythm (Jazz) tap and Broadway tap. Broadway tap focuses more on the dance. It is widely performed as a part of musical theater. Rhythm tap focuses more on musicality. The sound is made by shoes with a metal “tap” on the heel and toe. A fun and rewarding style of dance for all ages.
Lyrical Dance
For boys and girls, lyrical is an expressive yet technically challenging form of dance that combines ballet, jazz and modern dance styles. Students should have had some experience in dance prior to taking lyrical. Taking ballet while also taking lyrical is extremely beneficial to your growth as a dancer. Lyrical involves an in-depth emotional performance by the dancer. Usually inspired by slow music, this expressive dance form is a growing trend in dance today. Ages 7 and older
