Recreational Tap/Jazz

Our regular Jazz/Tap classes are one hour or 45 minute classes. Basic Jazz technique, terminology and movement taught with emphasis on proper execution of jazz isolations. Basic leaps, turns and combinations taught. Tap classes emphasize the development and strengthening of basic tap techniques, terminology highlighting the importance of rhythm and sound. These classes will perform in the recital.

Competition classes

Our Competition lines attend three to four competitions a year. All competition students are required to attend a weekly technique class (this class will not have a performance in the recital). The technique classes focus on fundamental steps that correlate with the steps they are learning in their competition classes. Competition students are also required to take one ballet class each week. We will also be holding intensives throughout the year. Competition students will be required to attend a minimum of two. Please note: Competition students are required to be in attendance for the five classes prior to a competition. If one of these classes is missed, the student will not be allowed to attend competition. (Exceptions will be made for emergencies only on a case-by-case basis.)
