Class Descriptions
Utilizing a foundation of ballet and jazz, each class is rooted in storytelling, emphasizing the importance of each student’s individual self expression. No one dancer is alike, and we will spend class time celebrating that, all while maintaining a clean technical base that allows for confident strides forward. Class will consist of a thorough warm up/conditioning section, rhythmic across the floor, and a combination. While most classes will feature original choreography in the intermediate to advanced level, all levels and backgrounds are welcome!
