Pointe

Pointe work is for the advanced ballet dancer.  Dancers that are at least twelve years old and have had three or more years of technical ballet training can consider pointe work.  Physical and technical readiness will be determined by the instructor.

Tap

Tap skills will be taught at the barre, center floor and across the floor.  Traditional and jazz tap skills will be covered.  Tap dancing helps the student to develop a sense of rhythm and improves coordination.
