Tap
Tap uses a wide variety of footwork and skills to produce rhythm and sound. The mind and body connection happens while students simultaneously learn the basics of tap and more intricate footwork. Tap teaches concentration through counting and listening. This study allows one's ability to move quickly and easily while mastering steps such as shuffles, flaps, and spanks. Tap offers a variety of styles while using different patterns, rhythms, and beats.
Lyrical/Contemporary
Lyrical/Contemporary is one of the most expressive forms of dance that conveys a story through movement. One must understand modern, jazz, and ballet concepts. Lyrical dance emphasizes more fluid and soft movements, while contemporary dance puts emphasis on improvisations and versatility. Lyrical and Contemporary dance offers a personal journey of self expression and awareness while demanding technical precision.

This energetic style requires stamina, and builds muscle tone while incorporating proper technique.

Acro Dance is a style of dance that combines dance technique with precise acrobatic elements. Properly achieved acrobatic skills can be added to a multitude of dance genres. Acro dance is meant to be softer with the emphasis on lengthening, control and balance. There typically is no sprung floor in acrobatic dance but one learns the ability to articulate tricks with ease and precision. In short, gymnastics is referred to as a sport whereas acro dance is more an art form.
Ballet
Ballet is defined as a theatrical art form involving discipline, repetition, and strength.

Ballet requires students to have great patience and persistence throughout their study. This beautiful art form impacts every dance genre in terms of respect, ability, and fluidity. Dedication to this study results in grace and confidence while mastering the proper plie.
