Originating from Hispanic and African American cultures during the Hip Hop era of the 1960s, this dance form incorporates a blend of contemporary funk and street style, including gliding, popping, locking or breaking. Students will learn Hip Hop technique, which includes fast, sharp action that travels through the body in a robotic looking alternation of move and freeze. Fun for all ages, Hip Hop is an energetic and rewarding workout.
Derived from Ballet technique, Jazz is a dramatic and energetic form of dance meant to improve your sense of rhythm, flexibility and interpretation of modern music. This form of dance is beneficial for jumps and turns. Many instructors have different stylistic interpretations of Jazz, often creating their own original pieces. Through Jazz, students strengthen their muscles, improve flexibility and become confident in the use of their bodies.
Lyrical is a relatively new form of dance that fuses Contemporary, Jazz and Ballet. Dancers will learn how to express emotion and interpret the significance of lyrics through flowing, controlled movements. Upper body positions are generally different from a traditional ballet style, body angles unfamiliar to jazz or ballet technique. Constantly evolving, Lyrical can be performed with flexed or pointed feet, and relies heavily on the use of soft contraction and release of diaphragm, head, shoulder, hip rotation, off centre turns and layouts.
Modern dance was developed as a reaction against the rigid technique of Ballet, using the bodies natural lines and energy, allowing for a greater range of movement. Danced to any style of music, Modern is often united with other dance forms to create new styles, and push the boundries of movement. Most commonly performed in bare feet, students will learn controlled falls and recovery, tension and release, and interesting interplays of body, weight and gravity.
