Ballet, Pre Pointe, Pointe

BALLET, PRE POINTE and POINTE - All ballet classes are set according to student's age and previous training by the teacher. All ballet classes include stretching, barre work, and center combinations set for class level.

Someone has said that the foundation of dance is Ballet. To excel in Ballet we encourage adding more classes as the years go on in training.

Pre Pointe: at least 2 years previous training is preferred and it is the prerequisite for any Pointe class.

Teacher placement required for Pre-Pointe and Pointe.

"Pointe dancing is an elite form of ballet, requiring years of training and dedication. While appearing light and ethereal, the dancer must be extremely strong. She has to have the technical skill to align her muscles and bones perfectly over the toes of one foot (about a square inch), while making it look effortless.
Only students with the proper strength and dedication should go on pointe.  A student will need to build up "muscle memory" by taking ballet classes several days a week. Muscle memory is achieved only by repetition. Improper alignment and lack of strength are the reasons that injuries can occur. Well trained, with properly fitted shoes, a pointe student  can progress from beginning pointe work, to an advanced level with no ill affects.
Pointe dancers are special and have reason to be proud!" Miss Jennifer Greene                              

Hip Hop and Jazz HIP HOP / JAZZ - Technical Jazz Technique with a funky Hip Hop mix that keeps the dancer improving quickly and thinking on her feet. All music and choreography is current, tasteful, and age appropriate.
ADVANCED JAZZ TECHNIQUE - Previous Jazz training and teacher placement required. Jazz choreography, turns, jumps and floor work for the intermediate/advanced dancer.
