Ballet
A timeless foundation of technique and grace. Students learn posture, balance, and form through barre work, across-the-floor exercises, and choreography that builds strength and control.
Modern
Rooted in expression and creativity, Modern dance introduces grounded movement, improvisation, and storytelling through the body. Students explore movement freedom while building strength and spatial awareness.
Tap
A rhythm-based style that turns movement into music. Tap students learn timing, coordination, and percussive expression through fun and challenging footwork combinations.
