Youth Classes

Lyrical (ages 10+)

Tap (ages 8+)
Students of all ages learn to coordinate the tap sounds of their feet to the rhythm of the music. A joy for even a three-year-old, this class lets feet become drums as dancers experience the different tap styles of the decades.

Hip Hop (ages 8+)

A unique fusion of jazz funk and street dancing, this class encourages the dancer's personal free-style interpretation of the music.
