Ballet

From the earliest stages of ballet to advanced pre-professional training, dancers are guided through a carefully structured curriculum rooted from the Vaganova method that includes barre work, center exercises, turns, jumps, pointe preparation, and performance opportunities. We believe ballet is more than movement... it is discipline, artistry, and a lifelong appreciation for the beauty of dance. Ballet is recommended for all dancers.

Dancer Conditioning

Strong dancers are healthy dancers. Our Dancer Conditioning class is led by our studio physical therapist, Dr. B and is designed specifically to help dancers build the strength, stability, and body awareness needed to perform safely and confidently. Using evidence-based conditioning techniques, dancers focus on core strength, balance, flexibility, coordination, injury prevention, and proper movement mechanics. Exercises are tailored to the unique physical demands of dance, helping students improve endurance, control, alignment, and overall performance in the studio.

Jazz

Jazz class will focus on learning proper dance technique such as isolations of the body, improving performance quality and developing complex rhythms and patterns. Students will be exposed to various styles of jazz such as Broadway, Street and Contemporary to help develop a well-rounded dancer. Ballet class is recommended along with jazz.

Tap

Tap dance enables a dancer to create a percussive sound with their feet. This class emphasizes the development of tap technique & terminology. We’ll explore coordination, rhythm and timing. Ballet class is recommended along with Tap.

Hip Hop

These classes teach the fundamentals of hip hop movement. They are upbeat and high energy classes. Stretching, isolations, rhythms, musicality, upper body strength and funky footwork will all be incorporated. Students will learn to memorize choreography by working on a combination each class. Ballet class is recommended along with hip hop.

Contemporary

Our Contemporary Dance program encourages dancers to explore movement through artistry, emotion, and creativity while building a strong technical foundation. Rooted in classical ballet technique, contemporary combines elements of ballet, modern, and lyrical dance to create expressive, dynamic movement. At En Pointe Dance Academy, contemporary training complements our classical ballet curriculum by encouraging artistic expression without sacrificing technical excellence. Dancers learn to take risks, discover their unique movement quality, and grow as confident, well-rounded performers prepared for both the stage and future dance opportunities.

Modern

Modern works on asymmetry, a connection to the ground and body contractions. It provides students with the opportunity to explore moving in different levels and planes in space, using their spine fully (in all directions), and exposure to a wide variety of musical styles. An emphasis on correct body mechanics (alignment) is included so the students can prevent injuries as they progress in their dance training. Classes are structured in the traditional modern format starting with a warm up followed by floor combination and traveling across the floor or creative explorations.
