Our leaps and jumps classes are a great way to get in extra work on the mechanics and technique that make dancers fly through the air! Dancers will focus on the flexibility, proper technique, and body placement needed for basic to advanced  leaping and  jumping. Beginning levels will focus on strength, detail and exact technique. Advanced levels will focus on mastery of these techniques while working on advanced jumps and leap combinations.

Turning is such an important part of a dancer's repertoire. Our Turn Technique classes will teach dancers the proper technique to execute turns by working on core strength, balance, spotting, body position and arm placement.  Drill work and across the floor work will be a large part of every class. Beginning levels will focus on basic technique up to double turns; Advanced classes will focus on connected turns, a la seconde, box turns, etc.
