Description of Classes
Move With Me~
This class is designed for students 2 to 4 that still need the guidance and reassurance of a loved one. The class is centered around colors, music, movement, improv, basic tumbling, and interaction. Parents participate and help their student to participate in the different activities presented each week.

Creative Movement~
Students will learn basic dance moves and tumbling while being guided through exploration of movement. We will use hula hopes, cones, scarves, bean bags, rhythm sticks, and more to develop that early love of dance.

Preballet~
These classes are designed for four and a half year olds through six year old prekindergarten students to learn traditional beginning ballet moves, beginning strength and tumbling, or a combination of basic fundamentals for ballet, tap, and jazz. Students will learn beginning arm and feet positions, jumps, and basic barre work (ballet) while still having an opportunity to do some creative movement and basic tumbling.

Combo Level 1/Level 2/and Level 3 Classes ~
These classes are designed for five to eleven year olds with one year or less of dance experience. These classes give students an opportunity to try many different genres and explore several different types of movement.

***Level 3, 4, and 5***
These classes are for experienced dancers. You must have been assigned to the class, evaluated, or taken the level one and two classes for at least a minimum of two years. These classes are designed for ten to nineteen year old students who are ready to take their dance technique to the next level. These classes give students an opportunity to advance their skills and take their training to the next level. (Second grade minimum)

Class Genres
Ballet~
The focus will be to continue ballet fundamentals with a strong focus on technique. We will work on turns and leaps that are appropriate at each level. Along with increased time at the barre to develop a strong discipline. We will work on leveled ballet combinations in the center and take turns moving across the floor.

Jazz~
The focus will be on faster paced moves that teach balance and coordination. We will work on different jazz moves appropriate for each level. Flexibility, turns, and leaps will be a major focus. Also, we will learn combinations for the many styles of jazz: lyrical jazz, Broadway jazz, Latin jazz, and jazz funk.

Tap~
The focus will be on rhythms and patterns. First years will learn the key components of tap which are heels, flaps, shuffles, and more, and each level after continues to build on those basic skills, but at a higher level of difficulty and speed.

Lyrical~
The focus will be on free-flowing movement with ballet and jazz technique. We will focus on emotional connection, execution, and improv.

Dancing Prayer~
This class is designed for students to use their talents and love of dance to honor God the father. The class is an experience that intertwines prayer and movement. This class can lead to our preprofessional/semiprofessional performance troupe called The Artistic Dance Collective.

Acro~
The focus will be on acrobatic skills and flexibility. We will focus on stretching, strength, and technique to execute acrobatic skills safely.

Hip Hop~
The focus will be on hard hitting moves with popping and locking.

Homeschool Movement~

Adult Stretch and Dance~ This class is for adults who want to work on balance and flexibility while enjoying a fun environment. It is never to late to begin. This class helps with coordination, balance, and are great physical and mental workouts. The class is about having fun and being energized through dance.

Class attire:
I just wanted to send a quick reminder about proper dance attire. The summer is far more relaxed, so I just wanted to remind everyone of the expectation or help guide you in the right direction. Looking put together is key.
Class attire:
Leotard and tights of choice. Leggings can be worn as well. No baggy t-shirts. If a shirt must be worn it must be well fitted so the teacher can see the lines of the dancer so the dancer can be properly corrected. Hair needs to be up and secured so that it is out of the face.

*Ballet 2, 3, 4, and 5:
A black leotard and pink, light tan, or black tights must be worn. Tight fitted black shorts may be worn, but no loose-fitting attire of any kind. Hair must be up in a bun with all hair secured and out of the face.

Shoes:
Ballet slippers, not house slippers, for all ballet classes. Pink is the preferred color. Black Jazz shoes for jazz class, black tap shoes for tap class, lyrical shoes for lyrical, barefoot for hip hop and acro.


Adult students may go barefoot, wear socks, or wear Ballet shoes. No gym shoes on the Marley floors.

*****Vera Nova Dance Store in Mason, Ohio is a great place to purchase all your dance needs. They have all of our recommended items for our recreational and competitive classes.

*Boys may wear athletic shorts and a t-shirt for all classes, but if they are in ballet 2 or advance ballet they must wear a solid black t-shirt and solid black athletic shorts.
