Kids Classes
Ballet
Ballet is an elegant dance style originating from the European Renaissance that helps find elongation and fluidity in the body. In this class we will work on improving our posture and flexibility while learning to move gracefully.
Contemporary
Contemporary is an emotionally driven dance style. It combines of the fluidity of Ballet, the expressiveness of Jazz and the grounded movements of Modern and African dance techniques to encourage self expression. In this class we will work on understanding how to move on and off the floor and work with gravity to help us become more emotional and unique dancers.
Creative Movement
Creative Movement is an introductory class for our youngest dancers. It helps prepare them for learning more specific dance styles in the future. In this class we will learn about body awareness, musicality, movement quality and dance vocabulary through imagination and creative play.
Choreography
Choreography introduces students to the tools and skills used by professional artists when creating dance performances. Through this learning, students develop confidence in self expression and discover new healthy ways of communicating their thoughts and ideas. Class activities include structured improvisations, collaborative games, creative writing and opportunities to create and showcase their own dances.
Dancing Story Time
Did you know that the movements and motions kids practice when they dance will also help with reading and writing later? Through story time, dance activities and songs this class helps develop young dancers foundational literacy and movement skills. Plus, since dancers participate with a caregiver, it encourages deeper connection between adult and child.
Jazz
Jazz is a fun and upbeat dance style. It blends the rhythms of African dance forms, the upbeat energy of Swing and Lindy Hop, the pizzaz of Broadway and the fluidity of Ballet. In this class we will work on finding our inner rhythm and dancing expressively while developing our body awareness and sense of community.
Adult Classes
Chair Supported Dancing
This class is designed specifically for dancers with limited mobility to help you stay active, creative and connected from a seated or chair-assisted standing position. Together we will work on developing our strength, flexibility, musicality and creativity through gentle, but fun, dances.
Mindful Movement
Grounded in Candice’s experience in somatic and contemporary dance practices, this class helps participants connect with their bodies through guided movement sequences, improvisation activities and gentle stretching. Designed to be adaptable to various movement experiences and abilities, Candice leads us in discovering what joyful and easeful movement feels like for us. Some students describe the experience as a moving mediation.
