Meet Me At The Barre
Every dancer knows how important the "Barre & Center Floor" work is to their performance. This work is the "core" of a dancer!

This class will greatly increase your balance during turns, your poise with your arm carriage, and strength in your leaps! This class will improve the "look" of any dancer in Jazz, Ballet, Lyrical, or Acrobatics. This is a  non-performing class that will make your performing classes much better. we will meet one time a week for 50 minutes.

Stretch & Flex
Have you always wanted to be more "flexible"? To have better splits, higher extensions, more flexibility in your back! If so, this class is for you!

You will learn how your body bends and stretches so that you can dance at your "best"! This is a non-performing class that will make your performing classes much better. This class will meet one time a week for 50 minutes.  

Contortion Acrobatics
Have you ever wanted to "sit on your head", stick your "legs behind your ears", or "tuck your feet under your chin"?

If so, this is the class for you! You need not be extremely flexible, we will teach you how to be. You do need to have Beginning Acro skills. To "Control" the body is to bend or twist in extraordinary positions. A "Contortionist" is is what you will become when you take this class.

The perfect partner to this class will be the "Stretch & Flex" class! The Contortion class will be 50 minutes each week and will perform in both recital shows!
