About Us
At The Dance Company, our goal is to provide our students with a positive and fun dance experience with top quality instructors who care about the progress of each child. With students ranging from age 2 thru high school graduates, our goal is to teach skills and techniques that will last a lifetime.
Offering classes in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Acrobatics, Hip Hop and Cheerleading, we stress learning proper technique while making the environment fun!
Ballet is the foundation of dance allowing emotion expressed through dance. It is essential to develop the skills needed to become an excellent dancer such as: Balance, Discipline, Poise and Grace. Students are required to wear a solid color leotard and pink tights with hair pulled away from face.
Tap is an active class that consist of fundamental rhythms created by the feet. Students will learn proper techniques and incorporate coordination of movements.
Jazz is a free style of dance that emphasizes precision, freedom and high intensity of movement. Class always begins with a series of exercises to strengthen and build flexibility to avoid possible injury.
Acrobatics consist of all levels of tumbling. Students will work on improving strength, timing and technique. Students must wear fitted dance attire with hair pulled back and away from face.
Cheerleading - The goal for this class is to give each athlete the correct cheerleading skills needed for tryouts at the Elementary, Middle and High School level, as well as to be used for recreation in a fun and creative atmosphere. With many years of experience our safety certified instructors are ready to help every athlete achieve their goals. This class offers NCA, UCA and ECA required technique for: Motions, Chants, Cheers, Jumps, Stunting Basics, Dance, Cheerleading Safety, Cheer Vocabulary as well as flexibility and Strength Classses.
