BALLET
Ballet is a refined and strict art form. It helps you to develop discipline in everything you do.
Our ballet classes introduce adults to the fundamentals of classical ballet training and techniques
SINGING
Whether you are an experienced singer looking to develop your technique or a first-time singer hoping to wow the crowd at your karaoke outing, this course works with students at all levels to learn the fundamentals of signing while building their confidence and improving their movement and performance abilities. Like all of our dance classes, these singing classes are both recreational and academic.
BACHATA
Learn a fun and flirty dance style to break out anywhere.
Bachata is by far the most romantic Latin dance performed in clubs today. Partners dance much closer together than in salsa, and bachata involves a great deal of upper body control. With its distinctive music and fun, flirty movements, you are sure to fall in love with this Dominican treasure!
In this class, you will learn basic Bachata steps, men’s and ladies’ techniques, and turn patterns up to an intermediate level.
HEELS
Get fierce, sensual, and sexy with our Heels class.
Heels dance, also known as ‘stiletto dance,’ is a relatively new style, having emerged and grown in popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It borrows techniques from a range of other styles: complex footwork from jazz, ballroom, Latin, and go-go dance; torso isolations from hip hop and belly dance; and fluid body language from contemporary dance. Heels dance is named for its most distinguishing feature: wearing high-heeled shoes during performances.
This class focuses on developing its students’ confidence and sensuality as they learn foundational Heels techniques through walks, freestyle, and choreography.

Salsa New York style is a fun class consisting of shines: individual footwork in which you will learn different styling moves and dynamic turn patterns for all levels (beginner, intermediate, or advanced). The class teaches leading and following techniques, how to improve connection between partners, styling tips for men and women, Salsa timing, and spinning. Salsa class also aims to develop your own individual style on the dance floor.

REGGAETON

Reggaeton dance is a fun, energetic style that’s influenced by hip hop dance and Latin American and Caribbean music. It’s extremely popular throughout the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, in countries including Puerto Rico, Panama, Cuba, Colombia, and Venezuela. In the last decade, the genre has grown in popularity in the North American and European dance industries as well! Students will focus on developing body control, musicality, and that essential reggaeton groove to commit to the music.
