Pre-Pointe:

Students should be taking 3+ ballet classes a week to be properly prepared for moving onto pointe. This is great for the instructors to see who is serious and who is prepared for taking the transition from pre pointe to pointe, and who is not prepared. Students should also have an assessment by their dance instructor or a health professional who specializes in dance health before moving into pointe. This process is also a great learning experience for students already on pointe to highlight any areas they need to improve on or are lacking in.

These classes are INTENSE! But the payoff in your dancer's skills, we believe, will be unparalled. We're not focusing on just one leap or turn or trick in this class...we're BUILDING the dancer's muscles from the ground up to be the absolutely best they possibly can be. If you want to get better in acro, if you want to try out for next year's competition teams, if you want to get on Pointe, if you want to audition for college teams or bigger, if just want to feel amazing, THESE ARE THE CLASSES FOR YOU!

The muscles in each group are fatigued via small targeted movements, high repetition, and light weight or resistance. Sections of class are also paired with stretching to increase overall flexibility. No experience necessary. All levels welcome. *Non Performance Based Class

Adult Tap / HIIT Fit:
Ages 18 and Up! Tap is a percussive style of dance that focuses on intricate footwork and musicality. At times we will be focusing on small range of motion and isometric movements that force you to constantly contract and engage.

All levels welcome, but PACE YOURSELF! *Non Performance Based Class
