Ballet is the foundation of all dance. In our Teen Ballet class, students will learn grace, posture, strength and coordination. At PDS, the techniques we teach in Ballet class are the basic framework for all different dance styles such as Jazz, contemporary, tap and more. Our ballet classes teach class discipline and respect for one another and the teacher.
Contemporary builds and teaches freedom of expression, interpretation of music, principles of fall and recovery, control, breathing, and balance. Contemporary Dance forms allow students to explore their individual dance style outside of the structure of traditional ballet and jazz classes.
Our Teen Hip Hop class requires high energy and attention to detail. Students will learn complex rhythms and syncopation. Teen Hip Hop builds stamina, strength, and flexibility for dynamic and fun class and performances.
Our Teen Intermediate Ballet Class is for the student that has taken at least 4 years of ballet. The basic understanding of proper body placement and turnout must be established, as well as an understanding of the ballet terminology. Work at this level becomes quicker and more intricate.
