This class is a fun creative movement class for ages 2-3 years old. This class allows a parent and child to dance together and bond with one another. DDA is certified to use official “Mommy and Me” curriculum.
We offer several different introductory combo classes that allow your child to learn two different styles at the same time!
Ballet classes are the foundation for training. They focus on developing a solid ballet technique with emphasis on understanding correct body placement, proper use of turn out, coordination of the upper body, and use of arms.
Tap dancers have the unique opportunity to be musicians and dancers at the same time. Tap focuses on rhythms and patterns in footwork through proper technique, as well as personal style and producing clear sounds. Classes include a variety of tap styles from Broadway to Rhythm tap.
Jazz dance combines techniques of Ballet and modern dance with current forms of popular dance. These classes are for energetic dancers who like precision and rhythm, physical challenges, and personal style and expression.
Hip hop is a fun and energetic dance style using the latest street/urban dance moves set to hip hop music. Hip hop encompasses a wide range of street styles including breaking, locking and popping.
Lyrical dance combines elements of Ballet and Jazz to create a soft style that emphasizes the storytelling quality of music. An emphasis is placed on grace and fluidity, musicality, and expressiveness to capture emotion through movement. Must be dually enrolled in Ballet to enroll.
Contemporary blends creative dance and artistry with athletic technique found in Ballet and Jazz. Classes integrate various traditional disciplines of modern dance foundations with current contemporary styles and fusion forms. Must be dually enrolled in Ballet to enroll.
Musical Theatre is the fusion of singing, dancing, and acting with performance on stage. Classes include breathing and singing technique practice, acting and improvisation activities, as well as dance technique and performance. These classes are for outgoing dancers who like the spotlight, drama, singing, and telling a story through dance.
This program is designed to promote excellence in flexibility, strength, balance, limbering, tumbling, basic contortion, and partner/group stunting for dancers.
