Classes
Ballet | Tap | Jazz | Flexibility, Strengthening and Toning
All classes are combination classes with the time divided between ballet and tap. Jazz is included in the class period as the students become more experienced and are preteen or older. All ages are welcome and no previous dance experience is needed.
Other studio features include perfect attendance awards presented at the recital, as well as, awards for 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years of participation. The recital is held in May and lasts one hour. Most costumes are in the $65 range and tickets sold at the door are $5 or less.
Our students come from many backgrounds and life experiences. It is our hope that during their hour at our studio they will feel welcome, at ease and motivated. Above all else is our sincerest desire to instill a love of dance in each student.

Ballet class follows the Russian Classical Ballet form.
Students spend equal time working at the ballet barre and center floor.
Stretching and strengthening exercises as well as French terminology and proper
technique are top priority. The live piano music adds remarkable and fine
quality to the class. The ballet class is always presented in a fun and
challenging way.
Whether you want to “Shuffle
off to Buffalo” or “flap, slap or slide”, our tap class offers a
wide variety of content. From classic tap steps to new up-to-date rhythms
the student will be taught in a fashion that will enable them to think quickly
and increase their coordination. Technique and terminology are also
included as an important component of this class. The live piano music
adds to the fun of this lesson!
Jazz class is the time for individual style to be cultivated. We really
kick back in this class with fun steps that work well with the music. Many
types of music are used for this class such as blues, Latin and rock. The music
is chosen at the discretion of Anne and will not contain foul, lewd or
suggestive lyrics. The steps are tasteful, modest and
non-suggestive.
Flexibility, Strengthening & Toning
This class is a great value for your
time and money. We have developed a full body workout class that is effective
and fun at the same time. Imagine that, an exercise class that is actually fun!
Combining Anne’s knowledge of ballet with many of today’s popular exercise programs, our class consists of stretching and strengthening exercises that utilize every major muscle group of the body.
We work slowly and deliberately with modifications to the movements so that everyone can participate no matter what level a person is at.
The 1½ hour class passes quickly and our students leave feeling refreshed and energized.
