Classes

Classes will be divided into levels for ages 3 and up according to body alignment, execution of skills and performance ability. The levels will give each student, individually, a chance to progress as fast as he or she would like with the amount of work that his or her body requires to achieve it. It is a win-win situation: a relaxed environment for those who enjoy dance as recreation and a serious atmosphere for those who want to have the skills they need to dance at a higher level after high school. The director will have the final say in the decision to advance a student, and all classes will be fun, but there will be an emphasis on hard work and discipline.

Ballet
Ages 6 years and up
This class is the foundation for every form of dance, and every dancer should have ballet background in their dance education. It develops self-discipline, beautiful posture, a controlled body, strength, stamina, and poise.
Jazz
Ages 6 years and up
This form of dance involves muscle-toning, stretching, and rhythm exercises. Students learn various forms of movement and the wide terminology utilized in this form of dance.
Tap
Ages 6 years and up
Students learn tap terminology and how to apply rhythm and timing into a tap routine. Tap dance develops a keen sense of rhythm as well as coordination.
Lyrical
Ages 6 years and up
Lyrical dance is a beautiful blend of ballet, modern, and jazz dance. Students learn the technique of ballet, the rhythms of jazz, and the emotions of modern dance. Using contemporary music selections, dancers create a story or express the mood or theme of the music and its lyrics. Note: lyrical is taught in our jazz classes.
Pre-Ballet
Ages 3-5 years
This class is to introduce young children to dance in a playful setting. They are taught rhythm and coordination with song and dance routines. It is a soft beginning to dance, teaching them the basic skills and terminology needed for ballet or jazz.
Combo - Ballet, Tap, Jazz
Ages 6-8
This is a new class at The Art of Motion which will allow younger students to experience ballet, tap, and jazz in one, 2-hour class. We hope this will be a wonderful, well-rounded introduction to dance for both the students and the parents.
Hip Hop
Ages 6 years and up
This exciting dance style can be seen on popular video productions. Used as a great body strengthening technique, dancers will learn the fundamentals of hip-hop and contemporary street dance.
Modern
Ages 14 years and up
The original free-form dance. An American original! The finishing study for all dancers. This class is a must for any dancer continuing their education at the college level.
TLC (Turns, Leaps, and Conditioning)
Ages 12 years and up
This class will focus on specific skills and stamina. If you need to improve your turns and leaps, this is the class for you. This class will not perform in the recital. Technique, technique, technique!!!
