New Adult/Young Adult Classes!

by

We are excited to have new class offerings this year, especially for adults and young adults!

You can view the full class schedule here and register for classes online here or by calling us at 970-472-4156.

While we are continuing the adult beginner and intermediate ballet classes, we have also added some other opportunities for adults this fall! Here are just a few new classes being offered this fall:

Teen/Adult Contemporary Jazz

Ages 13+ on Tuesdays at 7:30pm

Jazz dance, like jazz music, relies strongly on rhythm. A major element in musical theater and motion pictures, jazz dance is energetic with dancers using different parts of their bodies such as the shoulder, pelvis and head in isolated movements. All jazz students are strongly encouraged to be enrolled in a ballet class. Students will learn a variety of styles from Broadway to contemporary.

Teen/Adult Tap

Ages 13+ on Wednesdays at 7:30pm

Classes focus on the fundamentals of rhythm tap, including solid technique, classic and contemporary tap repertory and improvisation skills.

Teen/Adult Hip Hop

Ages 13+ on Thursdays at 7:30pm

Hip-hop has evolved from many dance trends, such as breakin’, poppin’, lockin’, the moonwalk…the list goes on and on. Take hip-hop and dip into the realm of freestyle and develop your own urban style under the guidance of our experienced and fun instructors!
