Our Classes
Conditioning: We understand the importance of physical fitness and the role it plays in the overall dance performance of our young dancers. Through our training program, we prioritize conditioning exercises tailored to enhance strength, flexibility, and endurance. Our expert instructors employ age-appropriate techniques to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, while also preparing our Minis for the physical demands of intricate dance movements.
Technique: Strong technical foundations are vital in the development of any dancer. In our Extension Elite Dance Training Program, we emphasize the fundamentals across various dance genres such as ballet, jazz, contemporary, and hip-hop. Our experienced instructors guide our Minis through structured technique classes, providing them with the tools necessary to execute precise movements, fluid transitions, and increased body awareness. Through consistent practice and individualized attention, we aim to refine their technique and lay the groundwork for future growth.
Choreography: Creativity and self-expression are nurtured through our choreography sessions. Our Minis will have the opportunity to explore different movement styles, learn engaging routines, and develop their own unique dance vocabulary. Our instructors will guide them in understanding musicality, storytelling through movement, and the importance of stage presence. This exposure to choreography is intended to stimulate their artistic sensibilities and unleash their potential as young performers.
