Competition classes

Our Competition lines attend three to four competitions a year. All competition students are required to attend a weekly turns and leaps 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.)

Hip Hop

Hip Hop is high energy street movement as seen in music videos by artists such as Justin Timberlake and Usher. Hip-Hop has a range of styles, from breakdancing, pop-n-lock, to krumping.
