Modern
Modern dance incorporates technical skills with creative exploration to develop performance dynamics, choreographic and improvisational skills.
JAZZ & TAP
Jazz and Tap classes encourage a vitality and enthusiasm for dance while training a versatile dancer. Tap teaches the understanding of the feet as musical instruments and Jazz focuses on developing technique while working on fun choreography.
Hip Hop
Hip Hop is a high energy form of dance that evolved from Break dancing and encompasses street style movements, also known as Urban Dance.
Art
Discovery of Art: Exploration
Our classes for Level 1/2 students will spend time on drawing practices before diving into our main focus, Mixed Media projects! Each class, students will be guided through part of a larger project as we explore a variety of mediums, such as acrylics, watercolours, pastels and sculpture. The main focus will be on exploring the basics of art and learning new techniques through imagination.
