Ballet Classes

NEW! Ballet Fundamentals with Liz (Saturday)

This class is for those completely new to ballet! The primary focus will be on ballet positions at the barre, port de bras, terminology, correct alignment, and ballet etiquette. Liz will make sure that students have a strong foundation in order to continue safely on their ballet journey. This class will focus less on progression, and more on a solid understanding of ballet fundamentals. 

Beginner Ballet 1 with Ellie (Mon) and Liz (Wed)

This class is for those who are just beginning their ballet journey. Our teachers will teach you the foundational steps and kinetics of ballet movement. Enrollment is suggested for this class as it builds from previous classes throughout the year, however the option to drop-in is still available! NEW TERM BEGINS IN SEPTEMBER

Beginner Ballet 2 with Liz (Wed & Sat)

This class is for those who have the basic knowledge of ballet and would like to continue building their technique. This is a great class for those who have taken ballet previously and would like to return to it, or for those who feel like they have grasped the ballet technique and want to be challenged more. We encourage students to consistently take this class as it builds from previous classes throughout the year. NEW TERM BEGINS IN SEPTEMBER.

Int/Adv Open MOVEIUS Company Class with Alvaro (Tues) or Diana (Sat)

This is an open company class with the Moveius Company dancers. During class, you will emphasize musicality while also working on advanced steps such as turns and jumps. This class is perfect for upper intermediate, advanced, or professional dancers. 

Contemporary & Modern Classes

Beginner Contemporary with Angel (Wed)

Contemporary is a genre of dance that incorporates aspects of movement from ballet, modern, and jazz styles. This beginner level adult class includes a full technique class including floor work and improvisation. Dancers can enhance their technique, artistry, strength, and coordination. 

Intermediate Contemporary Floorwork with Angel (Sat) ON HIATUS

This Contemporary Floorwork class will incorporate more advanced steps and techniques, placing a higher prominence on floorwork and how to safely achieve these steps. 

Horton Technique with Kevin (Sat) -

Horton is a modern technique that uses a whole-body, anatomical approach to dance. It encourages students to use strength, flexibility, coordination, and spatial awareness. Previous dance experience is encouraged when signing up for this class.

NEW! Lyrical Contemporary with Yao (Fri)

Contemporary as a genre pulls from many different dance styles, such as modern, ballet, and jazz, finding different connections and making something wholly unique to the artform. Lyrical contemporary takes these connections and blends them into a technique that is expressive and fluid, allowing students to move their bodies and feel good in the studio. Enrollment is encouraged as this is a NEW class being offered, however the option to drop-in is still available!
