Recreational Dance Program

Our recreational dance program encourages the discipline and creativity that develops self-confidence in young dancers.  Each student is viewed as an individual that is challenged while progressing at his or her own rate.  Students should be enrolled in one ballet class in order to register for any of our other classes (excluding Hip-Hop and adult classes).  Ballet technique is required to establish strength, line, coordination and  dance vocabulary.  This is extremely important, even to recreational dancers so that they will take pride in achieving a high standard of dance quality.

 

 

bullet Our classes run from September to June and include the following:

Ballet    Ballet classes include a standard ballet class structure with barre work.  Close attention is paid to proper skeletal alignment and muscle development to ensure correct dance technique and good health.  Ballet is recommended for all dancers because it develops grace, strength and correct stance.  It is a must for any dancer wishing to excel in dance.  Ages 6 and up

Tap   Technique and style are stressed in this energetic, exciting and highly entertaining class.  Step combinations are introduced in a progressive manner according to ability.  Dancers develop a repertoire that is both expressive and fun.  Tap exams in the I.S.T.D. syllabus may be given annually by recommendation of the teacher.  Ages 6 and up

Jazz  Energetic and enjoyable, this fun class includes a warm-up, centre technique, across the floor patterns and a final combination, to up beat contemporary music.  A great class for developing strength, endurance and coordination with a sense of fun.  Ages 8 and up 

Musical Theatre This class combines the elements of Ballet, Jazz and Voice.    Ages 6 and up

Modern  Based on the body’s response to gravity, modern uses the torso and head to guide movement.  Basic principles of fall/rebound are explored in seated, standing and traveling work.  Personal style and freedom to explore dynamic range are strongly encouraged. Adults

Hip - Hop   Come have a great time learning to dance.  Hip Hop is best described as the type of dance shown in most music videos. Hip hop is great for any age, is done to up-beat music, and teaches you how to dance with your whole body. Students should wear comfortable clothing and dance sneakers or “dance only” running shoes. Ages 8 and up

Fusion A class based on acro-theatre, street jazz, authentic movement with experimental sound.  Taught by Kortney Hunchuk who will also bring a circus element to the program.  Ages 13 and up
