CLASSICAL BALLET
Ballet is the basis of all dance disciplines. Our teachers are trained in the French School, the Vaganova Method (Russian), the Cecchetti Method (Italian) and the Royal Academy of Dance (England). New York City Ballet style developed by George Balanchine also has a strong influence in our teaching. Ballet builds strength, poise, proper body alignment, turnout and flexibility. Students participate in a full barre with emphasis on technique, across the floor progressions, leaps, turns and center work.

TAP
Develops rhythm, coordination and increases strength in the lower body. Class begins with a warm up, across the floor progressions and choreography.

Our style is classic, covering all 20th century styles, well-rounded with a focus on musicality, technique and expression. Class begins with a warm up, including isolations, across the floor progressions and choreography.

MODERN
A fusion of Graham, Horton, and Limon techniques. Class begins with an in depth warm-up, continues with exercises in the center and passes across the floor, and ends with improvisation and choreography.

SUMMER CAMP
Dance technique is the basis of our camp. Campers are divided into groups by age and experience and have classes in all subjects. Each week we have a performance based on the theme of the week. Weekly activities also coordinate with this theme and include music education, dance history, student choreography, arts & crafts, hair & make-up lessons, and games.

PERPETUAL MOTION DANCE COMPANY

Founded by Meg Segreto, Perpetual Motion serves as our resident dance company. Auditions for Perpetual Motion Dance Company are by invitation only from the studio faculty.

Students in Perpetual Motion take an accelerated course of study and have the opportunity to perform in and for the community, attend dance seminars and conventions and compete regionally and nationally, if interested. The Perpetual Motion Dance Company experience teaches leadership, teamwork and self confidence in addition to dance technique and prepares many of our dance company members for dance programs in college.

***We place a strong emphasis on proper technical training and Ballet Class, which allows dancers to excel further and faster in their other selected classes and styles.
