Classical Ballet
Classical Ballet is the foundation for all Western styles of dance.
We highly recommend that all students have training in classical ballet in order to gain the strength, posture and alignment necessary to excel in multiple styles of dance.
Ballet class includes barre & centre work as well as movement across the floor helping improve technique and gain strength & flexibility.
Pas de Deux
Meaning “step for two”, Pas de Deux is a term for partnering work in classical ballet. As a dancer’s technique improves, this skill becomes necessary (and very fun!). Learning to trust and communicate with a partner is a vital component to the growth and development of a dancer.
Contemporary & Lyrical
Contemporary & Lyrical dance uses the body in a variety of ways, being influenced by both classical ballet and modern dance.
It encourages freedom of movement and creativity as well as core strength and control. Students may learn choreographed works, or be encouraged to move freely & improvise.
Jazz, Commercial Jazz & Musical Theatre
Jazz classes provide a space for dancers to explore their individual style, musical interpretation and performance quality while developing strength, flexibility & co-ordination. Students learn to execute intricate foot work, dynamic body isolations, jumps & turns all set to popular music.
Full of personality, Jazz is most often seen in the commercial and entertainment industries.
Little Dancers Program
For ages 18 months to five years, these classes are designed to teach the basics of ballet. Little ones explore their creativity through movement, build co-ordination, and confidence, enhance fine motor skills, and make new friends.
They will be exposed to a range of beautiful music where they can develop their own unique style & self expression.
Boys Ballet
The basics of ballet technique are the same for girls and boys. But, like girls with their pointe work, boys have their own particular steps and physical demands. Boys not only have a different energy than girls, they can also learn differently. Each ballet class must work through the basics, but the emphasis in Boys class is on those steps that define the male technique - turning and leaping -often at the same time.
If you have a boy interested in ballet, this is the class for them!
Acro
These classes start with a warm up consisting of strength training and some flexibility work followed by progressions down the mat.
Some skills the students work on are: forward/backward rolls, handstands, cartwheels, walkovers and round-offs, progressing to more challenging skills from there.
Acro is a really fun class that focuses on learning acrobatic skills safely and with spotting.
Progressing Ballet Technique - Stretch & Conditioning
This ballet specific program uses fitballs and resistance bands to train “muscle memory” for ballet technique. The program targets the key areas of technique required for ballet – core, turnout, foot and arm strength, and jumping. Most exercises are done in a non-weight bearing state and can be adapted to your own fitness level.
Pointe & Pre-Pointe
These classes are offered to our Intermediate and above students only. Our pre-pointe classes focus on building and strengthening the muscles required for pointe work. These classes emphasize proper alignment and classical ballet technique, providing a space for teachers to evaluate students' readiness and ensure they possess essential skills before beginning pointe work.
After School Program
Our After School Program is for young dancers looking to have fun, make friends, and improve their dance skills. With a focus on different dance styles and performance opportunities, our classes are designed to challenge and inspire students to reach new levels of creativity and self-confidence. Come dance with us and watch your child shine!

Open to all levels of fitness and experience, these classes offer improved flexibility, strength, and body awareness, and are a fantastic way to get fit and toned while experiencing the joy of dance.
