What We Offer
Dance Classes
Recreational and Competitive Classes
Ages 2 ½ to 5

|
Our weekly dance classes focus on ballet and tap, but a gradual
introduction to jazz is made as the dancers get older and progress.
The younger students get introduced to a social environment and
get the opportunity to learn not only dance and all that goes along
with it (motor skills, coordination, rhythm), but also learn valuable
social skills needed for later life, such as respect, discipline
and appropriate manners for the classroom. These age groups perform
a tap and ballet dance in the annual recital. |
|
|
Ages 5 & Up
We have weekly combination classes that work in the disciplines
of jazz, tap and ballet for all ages and levels. We also have a
separate technique class in ballet for those students wishing to
dance more than once a week. Our students get a complete dance
education through the teaching of steps and focusing on proper
terminology. The dancers also learn about themselves and their
bodies through the discussion of muscle groups, the skeletal system,
body posture and nutrition. These dancers perform three or more
numbers, depending on number of classes taken, in the annual recital. |

***Pointe classes***
Pre-Pointewill
be offered for students 11 and up. All students must
take this class before being in Pointe. It is a foundations & strengthening
course preparing for Pointe.
Pointe will be offered
for students 12 and up, as an additional 20-minute class to those
who have had a full year of pointe or completed the pre-pointe
class and adequate amount of ballet training.
***All pre-pointe and pointe students must take the Monday ballet
technique class as well. |

Competition Groups
Dance Express also participates in three local competitions per year
as well as a number of community performances. In order to be a competition
dancer, all dancers must go through the audition process or receive
an invitation. There are combinations taught in jazz, tap, lyrical/ballet
and hip-hop. |

All competition dancers are required to purchase all necessary costumes
and accessories for each routine. Dancers are required to take ballet
technique class as well as their weekly combination class.
