Classical Ballet
Celebrated for its grace and beauty, classical ballet is the most formal of ballet styles. Over time it has been refined to the skilled and artistic vision we see today. Classical ballet is best known for its unique features and techniques, such as pointe work, turn-out of the legs, and high extensions; its graceful, flowing, precise movements; and its ethereal qualities.

Contemporary Modern Jazz
​Jazz dance refers to the dance styles originating from the African American vernacular dance in the 1800s. Modern jazz emerged after the 1950s where the traditional dance was transformed into a performing art, evolving on Broadway and in West End Musicals into the new, smooth style taught today. It is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns.
Theatre Craft is a dance form for theatrical performance, preparing the body physically through exercise and stimulating artistic ability through dance movement, improvisation and interpretation of music. Students will explore dynamics in time and space and build understanding of rhythm, gestures and shapes.
