The “Ballet” style is also included in some of our “variety” or “combination” classes.

Lyrical

Lyrical classes are for a more experienced student with ballet and jazz training. Proper lyrical dance is expressive and utilizes a beautiful technical physical element. Instructors build from the ballet and jazz syllabus for the lyrical classes. Best for students age 9 and above however, it may be appropriate for younger students should the qualifications be met. The “Lyrical” style is also included in some of our “variety” or “combination” classes.

Pointe

Pointe is a very structured and a carefully observed discipline of dance. Pointe is generally for a more accelerated student age 12 or above. Students in pointe classes must be proficient in ballet with very strong ankles, legs and core strength. The dancer’s body needs to be strong enough to support the weight bearing on pointe. Taking pointe class before a student is physically, emotionally and developmentally ready can prove dangerous in later years. Pointe classes are supported by a variety of ballet classes and some students may need the support of an additional dance style. The staff at Dance Dynamics is able to help guide parents for the preparation of pointe classes.

Modern / Contemporary

Modern and Contemporary dance is available for more experienced students. The elements of Modern and Contemporary training incorporate ballet and jazz skills. The movement through Modern techniques vary and a complete education of history and style are instructed.

Vocal

Vocal classes are offered for about 3rd grade and above. Up to about age 12 our vocal classes are monitored carefully as to not over train the voice. In dance, the bodies are trained at young ages to develop technical skills. In voice the training is a little later. There are many opportunities throughout the year for vocal students. The vocal program develops as needed. Our caring instructors build healthy, strong voices and entertainers. Students who are looking to be a performer are advised to train in dance classes and add vocal as additional training. To become a “triple threat” it is advised to train heavily in dance in younger years, add acting and vocal as the performer moves closer to adult years.

Pilates

Pilates classes are used for the enhancement of all of the above programs. Students in dance classes use Pilates to contribute to their overall training. Pilates classes are available in small group or private lessons. Pilates is available for adults as well as children. The age varies for children based on training and abilities.

Acting

Acting classes are available for children, teens & adults. Each class is developed for each age level of student. Acting class explores the elements of theater and development of overall public speaking skills. Students will practice acting games that will help enhance scenes and basic acting skills. Class structure will work on vocal projection, articulation, eye contact, facial expression and gesture while commanding stage presence. Acting classes will include improvisational skills. Students interested in acting for commercials, movies and stage are encouraged to train in as much dance as possible and add acting classes in addition to their curriculum. The two types of classes work well together but a young performer will gain more through dance training with acting enhancement.

Yoga

Currently, Yoga classes are only offered to advanced training students in a full dance program.

Ballroom

Currently, Ballroom classes are offered to students in the Pre Professional School program or during special workshops and intensives.
