style. Dancers will master multiple-turn rotations, a variety of leaps and jumps and dance “tricks”

memory for choreography and movement patterns. Ballet is required for Level 2 and above jazz
dancers.

hinges are a few terms they will learn.

breathing, posture, and emotional state to establish a mind-body connection. Students may learn
choreographed works, or they may be encouraged to improvise dance pieces.
Lyrical: Is a modern dance form which fuses modern dance, jazz, and ballet. It requires excellent
technique to perform, as the moves are often difficult and precise. Moreover, the dancer should be
aware of his or her facial expressions while dancing.

of tap from "soft shoe" to "funky rhythm". A wide range of skills will be covered, including counter

each dancer experience the groove, find their own style and learn how to dance like the real pop
stars!
Pop 'N' Lock: A style of break dancing which involves short, rapid movement of the arms and
legs (popping), combined with brief pauses between movements. Sometimes accompanied with
subtle foot movements known as 'gliding' in which the breaker appears to move around the floor
without using/lifting their legs.

touch the ground; normally performed to the rhythm of rap music
Krump: A positive outlet for anger, a way of spiritual dancing and praise,a popular and fast
growing style of hip-hop dance. It originated in the African-American community of South Central
Los Angeles, California. It is free, expressive, and highly energetic, and is the newest form of the
"Urban" Black dance movement.
Acro: Is a style of dance that combines classical dance technique with precision acrobatic
elements. It is defined by its athletic character, its unique choreography, which seamlessly blends
dance and acrobatics, and its use of acrobatics in a dance context. Dancer will learn handstand,
backhand springs, ariels and more during class.
Yoga: Is about creating balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility. This is
done through the performance of poses or postures, each of which has specific physical benefits.
The poses can be done quickly in succession, or more slowly to increase stamina and perfect the

the tradition in which the teacher has trained.
