polish and technique of performance dance. Each teacher uses her own
creativity in class adding a personal touch to the choreography. Jazz is
energetic and up-temp, an excellent body conditioner.

the strengths of each allowing them to receive the best level of
instruction. Tap lets you use your body as a rhythm instrument. It develops
agility, musicality and stylized movement.

Pointe classes will offered at the instructors discretion.
