City Dance Company - Class Schedule

Class Descriptions
Ballet
The basic foundation of all forms of dance. It is necessary for developing technique and grace. Ballet movement refines the lines and shapes created in space.
Jazz
A fusion of all forms of movement, which has become a respected international art form. Jazz dance can range from classical to funky. Jazz dance will broaden a dancer's perspective because of how differently it really is.
Tap
Primarily, movement of the feet. Tap involves varied rhythms and is great for improving one's rhythm because the ear is such an important part of learning tap. Dancers are encouraged to study tap because being well rounded is important. Dancers develop an ear for rhythm after taking tap and it helps them in other forms of dance.
Hip-Hop
An indigenous style of jazz movement influenced by today's pop culture. These classes are great in demand with teenage and adult students because they represent what is happening now in the music world.
Creative Movement
Designed to introduce the very young child to simple musical movement in a playful manner. It is unstructured and designed to be fun and to peak the child's interest in dance and the performing arts.
Modern Dance
A fusion of ballet and jazz, normally done in bare feet. It's a movement that offers you different shapes and curves. Unlike ballet, it is a free form structure in which the body explores motion off its center axis.
