The training that builds championship dancers — alongside a full schedule of ballet, jazz, hip-hop and more on our classes page.
Dance is a style of dance that combines classical dance technique with precision acrobatic elements. It is defined by its athletic character, its unique choreography, which seamlessly blends dance and acrobatics, and its use of acrobatics in a dance context.
Ballet is the basis of all dance forms developing strength, balance, style and the physical and mental discipline required for the proper executions of dance movements. A good solid foundation in ballet helps the progress in all other styles of dance. Ballet is highly recommended for all dancers. A minimum of two ballet classes are required to train on pointe with MDS.
Contemporary ballet is a genre of dance that incorporates elements of classical ballet and modern dance. It employs classical ballet technique and, in many cases, classical pointe technique as well, but allows greater range of movement of the upper body and is not constrained to the rigorously defined body lines and forms found in traditional ballet.
This class is a demo of different styles of dance to challenge your dancer’s technique, muscle memory and performance skills. This class is not for the beginner dancer as we learn combinations quickly and change styles weekly.
Hip-hop is one of the most diverse and popular dance styles, lacking the stern rules of ballet or jazz. Hip-hop is fast paced, with various different sub-styles that make every class a new adventure!
Dance improvisation is spontaneously creating movement, without pre-planning any steps or choreography. Dancers move freely, without relying on set movement patterns, aiming to create new, original movement or to use familiar movements in unique ways.
This class emphasizes total body conditioning and awareness working on strength, flexibility, isolation, leaps, turns, creativity, jazz vocabulary, movement, combinations and choreography that is age appropriate. Dancers taking Jazz should consider taking a Ballet class to help with technique.
Ballet and Jazz fused together in a lyrical form to express emotion and technical skills. A strong technical skill base in Ballet and Jazz is needed to execute Lyrical dance. For dancers who have taken a minimum of 2 years of either Ballet or Jazz, or by teacher approval.
An additional technique class emphasizing the form and practice of leaps and turns used in dance. Recommended for any dancer who wants to improve their technical skills. (Non-Recital)
Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is an innovative body-conditioning and strengthening program developed by Marie Walton-Mahon. PBT uses muscle memory to improve students’ understanding of core stability, weight placement and alignment.
Tap develops coordination, rhythmic skills, stamina and musicality. Basic techniques and rhythms taught, focusing on control, speed and clarity of sounds. Tap shoes required.
