Youth Classes and Programs - AGE 7+

We are SO excited about the current season and can’t wait to welcome many of our current dancers and new dancers! We strive to book classes back-to-back to avoid breaks and to give your dancers an opportunity to explore different styles however if you have any questions about levels, styles, etc. please don’t hesitate to reach out!

 

OUR CLASSES

ACRO

  • A combination of dance technique and acrobatic elements. Acro focuses on promoting flexibility, tumbling, strength, balance, contortion, and partner/group stunts. Each lesson involves training in gymnastic-style elements but is often put together with style and choreography. We are a fully accredited studio with certified ACC (Acrobatic Arts) and Acrobatique teachers.

BALLET

  • Ballet is the foundation of technique and balance for all styles of dance. Discipline and creativity are used to improve flexibility, strength, and proper positioning. Ballet technique is essential for improvement and appropriate advancement in other styles of dance as well. Offering various levels including pre-junior through advanced foundation, pre-pointe , and pointe. Ballet is incorporated into almost every class and is strongly encouraged for all ages by the staff and director at Springbank Dancers.
  • Pointe class focuses on proper technique, strength & alignment all while the dancers are wearing Pointe shoes. This advanced style is for a very experienced Ballet dancer and must come with approval from our Ballet Director. A minimum of two ballet classes and regular attendance is required.

JAZZ

  • Jazz is a strong technically based style of dance consisting of unique movements, body and musical awareness, intricate foot movements, leaps and turns. In order to excel in jazz, dancers are strongly recommended to have a background in ballet to improve strength and balance.

*Just as a friendly reminder, enrollment in a regular Ballet is required in order to take Jazz (for level Junior 3 and higher)

HIP HOP

  • Strong and powerful dance movements to Hip Hop and R&B music. Includes different styles of urban dance while increasing an understanding of various music beats and rhythms. Classes are designed to concentrate on choreography and memory, without limits to body movements. Hip Hop is energetic and perfect for those looking for an interactive and relaxed style of dance. Offering various levels including Junior to Advanced, for boys and girls of all ages.

LYRICAL/CONTEMPORARY

  • A collection of mixed styles derived from modern dance brought us both lyrical and contemporary. Recommended to help improve and enhance technique and control with influences from ballet, lyrical and jazz. Both disciplines explore challenging body positioning and emotions and is often seen as dramatic and interpretive. Both styles have such similar foundation work and with much overlap, so we want to give the dancers to opportunity to experience both, without having to take multiple classes.

*Just as a friendly reminder, enrollment in a regular Ballet is required in order to take Lyrical/Contemporary (for level Junior 3 and higher)

MUSICAL THEATRE

  • A form of dance that combines technique from jazz, ballet, and lyrical with song and music from stage/theatre performances. Musical Theatre is a fun, outgoing style that improves a dancer’s confidence and creativity throughout Broadway performance. All dancers involved in Musical Theatre classes are strongly encouraged to also participate in a technique class (such as ballet, jazz, lyrical, etc.).

TAP

  • Use of tapping footwear and precise foot movements in various patterns to create an audible form of theatrical dance with music and rhythm awareness. Recommended ballet or jazz experience for ankle strength and proper positioning

Teen Classes

  • Teen "Fusion"
    • These classes typically combine ballet, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, and more! It allows dancers to explore various styles in the same class! The class focuses on giving older dancer who are new or newer to dance, a comfortable setting to learning dance technique and choreography. We are excited to create an opportunity for dancers to build a foundation, have a ton of fun, and gain confidence through movement! And as the class builds and the dancers begin to prefer certain styles, the teacher will create a routine for our year end Recitals in a style that they enjoy!
  • Teen Acro
    • Do you have an "older" dancer or student who is interested in Acro but maybe feels like it's "too late"??? This is there chance to give Acrobatics a shot, without mixing in with the younger levels, and by starting with the basics, and then catering progressions to each individual! This class is meant for students with or without previous dance experience who want to try tumbling, limbering, and more! We'll safely introduce back bridges and bends, handstands and walkovers, cartwheels, and partner work, focusing on building confidence, control, flexibility, and strength!
