DANCE CLASSES

Our class placements are based on age and skill level, with options for dancers from 2  1/2 years old to adult!

CLASSES

Creative Kids

We specialize in early childhood development! Our Creative Kids class teaches introductory steps and technique in the styles of both Tap & Ballet. Additionally, students explore counting, coordination, basic movements (jumping, skipping, hopping, etc) and rhythm all while having fun and making friends! Our Creative Kids class builds an excellent foundation for continuing dance education. 

Hip Hop

Our Hip Hop classes are tons of fun! These high energy classes introduce dancers to the basics of hip hop movement, rhythm, and musicality. Our music choices and choreography are always age-appropriate & family friendly! These classes incorporate elements of various hip hop styles such as breaking, popping, and locking, and encourage creativity and individuality in a relaxed learning environment.

Beginner Combo Classes

These classes provide an excellent foundation in the genres of Tap, Jazz, and Ballet. Dancers are introduced to steps & their proper terminology, taught technique, and the basics of timing, musicality, and teamwork. These fundamentals are taught in a variety of ways including recital choreography, across the floor exercises, and games to incorporate both learning and fun into each lesson.

Intermediate Competitive

Our 8-10 year old combo class continues training and technique strengthening in the styles of Tap, Jazz, and Ballet. Beginning in the 10-12 year old class and beyond, Lyrical is introduced (in addition to continuing Tap & Jazz).

The focus in these classes is taking the fundamentals learned as a beginner and expanding on them- learning more difficult steps & combos, harder rhythm patterns, faster and/or more involved choreography. There is also a focus on building self esteem, confidence, developing individual expression, and allowing students to explore and expand their stage presence as they gain more performance opportunities through competitions.

Competitions are introduced beginning with 1 per year and moving up to around 3 per year. Competitions are a fantastic learning experience and a great way to improve as a dancer and also a way to build team bonds. Some students choose to further their competitive experience by learning solos, duets, or trios.

Advanced Competitive

These classes are our highest level of Tap, Jazz, and Lyrical training. Because of the prior dance education needed to acquire these skill sets, these classes are invitation only. These classes attend 3-4 mandatory competitions every Spring plus a Nationals in the summer. These dancers perform complex choreography, act as role models and mentors to younger dancers in the studio, and as Graduating Seniors hold the lead roles in our Production routine.

Adult Classes

Danced as a child and want to get back into it? Never danced before? All are welcome! Come for the exercise, come for the fun, come for a night out to get away and do something for YOU! Our adult class learns Tap & Jazz steps and choreography, and performs 2 routines in our annual recital! They have a lot of laughs and are a great group of friends who call each other "sisters," hence their name- "The Sassy Steppin' Sisters!"

Summer Camp

At Children’s Dance Workshop LLC, we understand the importance of training to a dancer. This is why we feel that continuing their dance education throughout the summer is an exceptional benefit to our students. 

We will offer one week of Summer Dance Camp in July and one week in August. All dancers ages 7+ must attend one week of camp. Choose the week that works best for you! Schedule and dates TBA. 

Summer camp curriculum includes all styles of dance! Learn new steps, strengthen your technique for the upcoming season, participate in team building activities, and more! Dancers learn a full length routine that they perform on the last day! 

We also offer an Optional Mini Hip Hop camp for ages 3-6. Tons of fun & a great intro to dance! Each week has a theme and includes a craft project!
