Ballet
Ballet is the foundation of all forms of dance and is of utmost importance at Creative Dance & Music Studio. All of
our combination classes contain ballet and it continues into teenage years. Ballet develops poise, control,
strength, flexibility, balance, and grace. Ballet begins as creative movement with simple movements and positions
in our Baby Dancers and progresses in terminology, positions, and movements of the Cecchetti method of classical
ballet. Upon teacher recommendation, pointe lessons are available for dancers over 12 years old.
Tap
While there are many forms of tap dancing, we focus on traditional tap dance. Tap utilizes foot patterns to create
rhythmical sounds with metal plates on the ball and heel of the shoe. Tap can be performed either with music or
acapella (without music). Tap develops rhythm, timing, balance, coordination, and cardiovascular conditioning.
Jazz
Jazz is a fun, energetic form of dance enjoyed by all ages. While jazz is a derivative of ballet, it is usually
performed with upbeat, rhythmic, popular music. Jazz class consists of a warm up, technique, and progressions.
Skills include stretch and flexibility, turns, and jumps. Ballet is required to take jazz class.
Hip Hop
Hip hop is a form of jazz dance, and actually has many forms itself. Our style is commonly thought of as funky jazz
or street jazz. Hip Hop is performed with upbeat, pop music (typically a form of rap or R&B) but it is always
monitored for content and lyrics.
Acrobats
Acrobats is a gymnastics type class that focuses on tumbling, balance, and stretch. A great addition to any young
dancer's classes. The class reinforces strength and flexibility. It includes cartwheels, tumbles, round-offs, back
bends, front limbers, handstands, headstands, walkovers, handsprings.
Lyrical
Lyrical is a form of dance that can be thought of as a combination of ballet and jazz. Lyrical dance is matched to
the lyrics and feeling of the music and has a strong ballet foundation. Students interested in performing a lyrical
routine in the year end revue must take a ballet class throughout the year. Students ages 8+ that are enrolled in
a classical ballet class, can sign up to learn this extra routine from March - June to perform it in the show.
Pre-Teen & Teen Classes
Individual classes of Tap, Ballet, Jazz, and Hip Hop can be selected for older dancers. All classes are 45 minutes,
with the exception of advanced ballet, which is 60 minutes. Each class is $50 per month (advanced ballet $54) but
multi-class discounts are available for dancers taking more than one class. Ballet is a requirement to be enrolled
in Jazz class, but not for Tap or Hip Hop, although Ballet will help with those disciplines as well.
Competition Classes
Competition Teams are offered by teacher recommendation only. Each April, teacher recommendations are made
and team auditions are held in May. Competition dancers take an additional 45 minute class each week to focus
on refining skills and learning routines to compete. A summer intensive class held in August is also required.
Qualified candidates will take at least ballet and jazz, have excellent attendance, a good attitude, be a team
player, and have a passion for dance. 2 local competitions are attended each year.
