Grade 4-12 Dancers

Dancers are able to choose ballet/jazz combination class. In this class they will focus on terminology in both dance forms. They will work on technique and how to improve their body awareness. They also have the option to take a tap or hip hop class, which will work on tap skills and progressions. We will also go through some of the history of dance and where the movements and terminology come from in each of these styles. 

These classes will perform in our winter showcase in December. Dancers will then be able to re-enroll for our winter/spring session and be in our annual spring recital.
