Tappin' Tumble Bunnies

Ages 7 through Adult.
 
More than fifty years ago this studio was founded as a tap dance studio. Tap has long been a popular dance form featured in club revues, Broadway shows and Hollywood films. This fun and challenging form of dance promotes a combination of rhythm, timing, and coordination. Students develop musicality and coordination through various barre, center, and cross-floor exercises and routines. We focus on proper technique, clear taps, and appropriate speed

Suggested for ages 3 to 6.
 
This combination of tap dance and basic tumbling provides a full hour of instruction for younger children with shorter attention spans. Tap is fun and provides a sense of rhythm, timing, and coordination not learned in any other dance form. The children marvel at the sound their shoes make and feel proud to learn and execute steps.

Ages 5 through Adult.
 
Jazz has always been a popular dance form, and no wonder! The fast-paced and interesting movements are eye-appealing and fun! Jazz dance is based on the techniques of ballet, modern, and African dance and is set to up-beat music. This dance form promotes strength, flexibility, coordination, and the ability to move and control each part of the body. We proudly offer a full range of jazz instruction encompassing Broadway-style to hip-hop. 

Ages 8 through Adult.
 
Proper ballet technique is critical in all forms of dance. Ballet helps dancers develop grace, balance, strength , and flexibility. Out classical ballet instruction is suitable for the serious dancer as well as those who would like to improve their performance in other dance forms or just enjoy a great form of exercise. While ballet is considered more "serious" than other dance forms we seek to make the experience fun and entertaining. Note: Competition students are required to take a minimum of two ballet classes per week.

Ages 7 and up.
 
Lyrical dance combines ballet, modern dance and jazz resulting in an emotionally expressive dance form. This theatrical form of dance strives to tell a story and is intended to evoke emotion.

Ages 7 and up.
 
While Hip-Hop is incorporated into many of our jazz classes, we also have classes dedicated to this popular "MTV-style" of dance. Come and add your own "flava". 

Ages 6 to 10.
 
This is a gymnasic floorwork program without apparatus. The student will learn skills to increase strength, flexibility, and overall fitness, as well as basic through advanced tumbling skills. (ie: forward/backward rolls through back handsprings/aerials, etc.) It builds confidence and self-discipline, reinforces and improves posture, and builds skills that apply to other sports.
