| | | Dance Classes | | | | From Toddlers to Adults | |
| Ballet, Tap, and Jazz |
|
| These combination classes are our most popular classes. They combine Ballet, Tap and Jazz. For the beginner this is the place to start, where you will learn all the fundamentals of dancing. Classes meet once a week and start at 3 years old and go up to adult—they are divided by age and ability. We try to keep classes small, offering one-on-one attention to every student at every class, and we are careful to choose modest costumes and dance-wear. All students from 3 to 18 will have several opportunities to dance at community events and parades throughout the year. The season highlight is the recital performance at the Hoyt Sherman Theatre in June, where every student will perform three dances, one each in Ballet, Tap and Jazz. For more information about class times or pricing go to the Class Schedule page or call us at 287-6691. |
| Cheerleading/Stunting |
|
| Our recreational Cheerleading/Stunting classes start in January. The younger girls and beginners will learn pom routines and cheers, while those with more experience will work on dance/stunting routines. It is great fun for the pre-school and elementary age girls and great preparation for the junior high girls planning on trying out for their high school cheerleading squads. All who are in these classes will get their own uniform to wear in the recital perfomance and in several parades that we participate in throughout the year! |
|
| Pointe' / Modern Dance / Liturgical Dance |
|
| For those students who have reached an advanced level through the Ballet, and Jazz classes, we offer the Pointe' , Modern, or Liturgical classes. Each class will perform in the recital in June, and our modern and Liturgical class will be dancing in the community at churches, holiday programs, and other special events. |
| Hip-Hop |
|
| Another great class we offer at Dance-a-Cross is our hip-hop class. Classes are available for boys and girls age 5 - 18. It's a great way to learn current hip-hop moves and have fun at the same time. The class contains beginner and advanced levels of dancing—the beginner level is fun for anyone. |
|
| Tumbling Classes |
|
| Dance-a-Cross has tumbling classes for kids from 2 to 18 years old. We offer beginning, intermediate and advanced classes. Beginning tumbling is a continuation of the toddler tumbling classes that we have for our 2 to 4 year olds. Some of what the kids work on are forward and backward rolls, straddle rolls, crab walk, cartwheels, and headstands. The intermediate level will ad backbends, handstands and front & back walkovers. Finally in the advanced class the students will learn front and back hand springs, back tucks, aerials, as well as some fun partner tricks. Kids love these classes because they are a lot of fun, but they are also great for the dance student who wants to gain strength, flexibility and agility. |
| Competition Teams |
|
| Starting in 2010-11 we will have eight competition dance teams and three competition cheer teams at Dance-a-Cross. These classes are for those students who are ready to make more of a commitment of both time and effort in their dancing. Students who have completed two or more years of dance and demonstrate a desire and ability to compete are invited to join a competition team. Our competition teams will dance in two or three competitions this year. In addition to dancing at the recital in June, they will also have an opportunity to dance throughout the year at various community and church events. |
