Intro to Dance
Intro to Dance Classes introduce children to movement, music and rhythm, as well as body discipline and awareness. The courses are designed to develop appropriate skills for the particular age groups. Emphasis is placed on fun and the development of positive self-esteem as the child enters one of his or her earliest classroom situations.

Tap Dance
Tap, a style of American dance, is distinguished by percussive footwork that marks out precise rhythmic patterns on the floor. The basic roots of tap dancing are in clogging and African dance. The style was expanded in the 1930s and 1940s, when famous dancers such as Fred Astaire, Paul Draper, Ray Bolger, and Gene Kelly brought a new flare to tap.

Jazz Dance
Jazz Dance combines various dances characterized by the use of improvisation and influenced by rhythms and techniques of jazz music. Syncopation is what gives jazz music and dancing its edge and excitement. Changes happen often and are unexpected. In addition to syncopation and individuality, connection with the music is another element of jazz dance. The music and the dance go hand in hand. Jazz dance directly expresses the music; whether it is jazz, blues, or rap.

Tumbling
Tumbling is defined as any gymnastic skill used in a cheer, dance, or for crowd appeal. Can be done as an individual or as a group in unison.
