for all other dance styles.
Pink ballet slippers, pink tights, black leotard (any style) and a neat
bun are required for all ballet classes. Black skirt or bike shorts optional.

Jazz: West Side Story paved the way for jazz. It has become an exciting adventure in dance
with tense, high-paced movement using today’s music. Jazz is a ballet-based style of dance
that emphasizes turns and leaps. Prior or current ballet training is strongly recommended.
Snug fitting dance wear, tights and black jazz shoes required. Hair must be worn back in a
tight ponytail or bun.

Hip Hop: These are some of the most popular classes in the school.  Students will learn the

enhance a dancer’s energy and enthusiasm for dance and focuses on building the basics
including counting music, memorization of sequences and choreography and exploring rhythm
through the use of the body.
Tank or t-shirt (any color), any color workout shorts or pants (no
jeans), and black dance sneakers required. Hair must be back.

Contemporary: Contemporary dance is a style of theatrical dance that favors movement
deriving from the expression of inner feeling.  Dancers love the movement and emotional
freedom it provides.  Plus, it is just a lot of fun!
