Ballet:

 

Ballet originated in Italy and became popular in the French Court

of King Louis XIV. The word ballet is French, but comes from the

Italian word ballare, which means "to dance".

 

Ballet is the most demanding and most disciplined of all dance

forms and is most effectively mastered through continued study

beginning in the early years. A strong ballet foundation is critical

to other styles of dance. We emphasize technique and

control while fostering grace and expression.

 

Our goals for the ballet student are:

 

1. To develop principles of correct body alignment, coordination, balance, strength, flexibility, and movement articulation.

 

2. To learn basic ballet terminology and become familiar with the typical ballet class progression.

 

3. To continue to achieve greater degrees of strength and clarity in the outward rotation of the legs and to develop greater precision in small, detailed action.

 

Dress code:

 

Black leotard (short ballet skirt is optional)

Pink tights

Pink ballet slippers/pointe shoes

Hair must be in a neat, secured bun.

 

Tap:

 

Tap dance was born in the United States during the 19th century, and is now enjoying world-wide popularity. The name comes from the tapping sound made when the small metal plates on the dancer's shoes hit the hard floor.

 

Tap dancers use syncopation and improvisation. Choreographers typically start on the eighth beat, or between the eighth and first count.

Fitted clothing - No jeans or baggy pants
