Acrobatics - Innovative dance training that teaches strength, balance
and flexibility. Requires a great deal of technical awareness and
athleticism. Students are required to be sufficiently trained in the core
basics of dance movement. Students are also encouraged to have a
strong jazz background. This course will teach students the importance
of discipline and concentration and will build upon their strength,
muscle control and overall performance ability.

The Acro performance in the recital will showcase their athleticism and
flexibility. It will vary depending on how experienced the dancer is of
course. In class we'll work on everything from kicks, to splits to
backbends... the basis of acrobatics and gymnastics. And even some
conditioning (sit ups, pushups, nothing boot camp style but something
to build up muscle!)  We will build from there.


Ballet/Technique- This class is for the student who wishes to improve
on their technique for Ballet and the general discipline of Dance.  The
class will focus on developing proper alignment, balance, strength,
control and precision in movement –
essential skills for all types of
dance
.  Class will consist of exercises at the barre and stretching.
Center work will focus on body positions, jumps and turns.   We
strongly suggest to all of our older dancers participation in this class.
