TAP

LYRICAL

Ages 6 and up

DANCE COMPANY

Ages 6 and up

Dance Company Classes will be more technically challenging not only through classroom training but choreographically.

Classes will work at a faster pace than normal technique classes and teach material that would not be taught in regular classes.

The company classes are held in addition to the technique classes.

For example, a Senior Company member would take Jazz, Ballet, and Tap, then also take their Company Ballet and Jazz on a different day.

(All company members MUST take Ballet, Jazz and Tap).

All companies perform throughout the year at community events.

They also dance at local nursing homes during the month of December.

Our Junior and Senior Companies perform in Times Square NYC in April each year.
