ACRO
Jazz dance is a forever evolving dance style that emerged in the United States and rose in popularity throughout the 1900's.
Our Jazz classes are fun, fast paced, and focus on building strong foundational Jazz dance technique through ADAPT syllabus work. Jazz styles such as Broadway-Jazz, Latin-Jazz, Disco-Jazz, Contemporary-Jazz, Lyrical-Jazz and Commerical-Jazz may be explored. Jazz is Miss. Janyne's favourite style!
Ballet dates back to Europe in the 1400's. It has evolved into one of the most highly technical styles of dance. Concepts learned in Ballet can help dancers to excel in other dance styles. Ballet can also help an athletes performance in other sports.
Our Ballet classes focus on building strong foundations for classical dance technique. Students will work on musicality, alignment, posture, flexibility, strength and turnout.
AcroDance is a fusion of Dance technique with Acrobatic elements. Examples of foundational Acrobatic elements are handstands, somersaults, and cartwheels. Classes focus on strength, alignment, and safe progressions. Watch the video below to see what Acro classes are like!
Classes follow the Acrobatic Arts Syllabus. Students will work to complete progress cards in class. It is strongly recommended to take Jazz and/or Ballet classes in addition to Acro.
