Tap
The origins of tap dance can be traced to Africa and Europe and its evolution through American history via urban streets, rural town halls and mountain hollows has resulted in a kaleidoscope of movement expressing itself through sound. Shirley Temple and Bill Bojangles Robinson, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers among others, brought the art form to the masses through film and it continues today in film, on broadway and on reality television. Our students build a strong foundation with solid technique that can be applied to many of these styles of tap dance.

Come learn to move in the styles of Lester Horton, Martha Graham and Katherine Dunham. Build solid techinque and learn to MOVE across the floor and the stage. Classically based dance with a modern feel and interpretation of the music. You will discover how much joy there is in movement with our Modern Dance classes! Open to dancers ages 11 and up with previous dance training.
Jazz
Dance is a form of expression that took a turn for the abstract with the advent of jazz music. Talley Beatty and Bob Fosse revolutionized the Jazz Dance art form and their influences can be seen today on Broadway, on the concert dance stage, in film and in music videos. Join our jazz and tap instructors to learn how it works.
Hip Hop
The Rap/Hip Hop genre of music has spawned several new styles of dance. The extremely popular dance themed reality television shows and dance talent contests have increased the exposure of hip-hop dance styles to global audiences. The Courthouse School of Ballet offers weekly Hip Hop classes for children and adults.
