Dance Gymnastics - Acro
For students aged 6 & over
(by September 1st)
​
Dance Gymnastics is a program leading to exciting gymnastic "tricks" integrated into today's Contemporary Jazz scene.
The leaps, tumbling, and flexibility movements that provide the necessary virtuosity skills needed by today's musical theatre dancers, will be developed as they relate to dance training.
​
Students are accepted into the program according to previous study, readiness, & flexibility.
If a student has had previous dance experience, please phone for an interview to determine the student's level within the school. We cannot guarantee placement unless a vacancy is available.
​
* Interview by appointment, at no charge, can be made by phone. (519-434-0612)
Although designed to benefit dance training, Dance Gymnastics can help students excel in school physical education programs & is certainly an asset for those wanting to participate in school cheerleading teams & pep squads.
Students who enjoy participating in school shows & community theatre find it to be an advantage of being able to do cartwheels, handstands, walkovers & aerial tricks.
Dance Gymnastics teaches flexibility, but also core & arm strength needed in a variety of extracurricular activities.

Hip Hop
For students aged 9 & over
​
Hip Hop is a great cardio workout for students who enjoy the high-energy popular dance style of today's exciting social & street dance.
​
Current mainstream music is used for Hip Hop class lyrics & themes, screened for their appropriate age level being taught.
​
Choreography is also chosen to suit the age level for appropriate gestures & attitudes.
Hip Hop is very popular with students who enjoy social school dances or Commercial Rock videos. For a novice dancer who has no prior dance experience, Hip Hop is a great introduction.
​
Although warm-up, & single-movement skills are part of the class structure, most of the class is presented in the choreographic form.

Contemporary Dance Program
for students aged 9 & over
(by September 1st)
​
In the Junior division, with an emphasis on musical coordination & creativity, spacial & eurythmic concepts are explored.
The Intermediate & Senior division's curriculum consists of Graham, Limon, & Cunningham techniques.
A component of our Modern Contemporary program is improvisation while disciplining the body with various recognized Modern techniques.
​
Individual creative skills are developed using dance movement to interpret the music, create a theme or storyline, and express a mood or emotion.
As the student progresses in physical skills, it is interesting to see how much more diverse the student becomes in their interpretive & improvisation ability.
