Performance Styles
Acro
Boutique is certified in teaching acrobatic arts. Acro class includes movements where students focus on gymnastic tricks and upper-body strength. These skills can be beneficial in all other types of dance. Acro will focus more on flexibility tricks and movements that could be incorporated into an Acro routine, such as chin and elbow stands.
Hip Hop
Hip-Hop comes from an urban, street type of movement. This includes a variety of styles including popping, locking, and breaking, as opposed to the fluidity of Ballet movement. It is danced primarily to Hip-Hop music.
Tap
Tap is a percussive style of dance that focuses on rhythm sounded by the feet. The feet become musical instruments with the sound they create. This class will develop a strong sense of music, timing, and discipline.
Ballet/Pointe
Ballet is the fundamental, technical form from which all other dance styles stem. It teaches young dancers important terms and techniques to maintain their proper form. Pointe is the most advanced form of Ballet and can therefore only be taught to and performed by the more advanced dancers. Our Pointe class includes intensive, large amounts of barre work, ankle strengthening, center turn preparations, and patterns across the floor.
Jazz
Jazz combines the basic techniques and encompasses a wide variety of other styles. This class includes strengthening warm ups, stretching exercises, and dance combinations that derive from basic technique.
Combo
Combo is split into two studies: Tap and Ballet. Ballet will help develop technique and coordination. Tap enhances their rhythm, timing, and musicality.
Lyrical/Contemporary
Lyrical expresses feeling with a focus on body lines, balance, and sustained extensions. It is an emotionally driven dance form. Higher level classes will explore more Contemporary styles, which focus on new forms and dynamics.
