Kids Classes

Dance Classes for Boys & Girls of all ages.

Hip-Hop – An urban style of dance that has grown out of the street/funk styles and become popular in the commercial dance world. Elements include commercial choreography, various fundamental hip-hop techniques (popping, locking, breaking, etc.), and freestyling. Freestyle Dance Academy offers different learning environments including boys and girls only classes.

Adv. Hip-Hop Technique – A class for older hip-hop dancers that focuses more on the individual styles that comprise hip-hop, as well as an increased emphasis on the technique of each style.

Breaking – Breaking or bboying/bgirling (also known as “breakdancing”) is an urban dance founded in funk music and rock dancing. Students are taught foundation and musicality while learning top-rock, floor work, freezes and power moves. Students learn how to control their bodies on their hands, feet, backs, knees and heads to create complex combinations of movement. Classes are separated based on experience. Breaking, commonly referred to as ‘Breakdancing’, is one style under the hip-hop umbrella. Freestyle Dance Academy offers Breaking exclusive dance classes.

Jazz – An energetic and exciting style of dance that is considered to be a foundation for dancers looking to study other styles of dance. Jazz is a blend of various techniques that focus on multiple disciplines including musicality, syncopated rhythms, isolations and more. Music can range from hip-hop to show tunes. A ballet background can help those looking to study jazz dance.

Ballet – Students will focus on learning the techniques of classical ballet, as well as the history behind them. Those older dancers who show enough skill will be offered the opportunity to go up on pointe. Pointe is a privileged opportunity and provided to dancers who show proper work ethic and skill to proceed. Permission for Pointe is determined by Ballet teacher evaluation. Pre-Ballet is a requirement for all ballerinas. Exceptions only made by teacher evaluation and permission.

Dance Combo for Toddlers – This class introduces our toddlers to the discipline and structure of dance. All styles of dance are introduced, such as hip-hop, ballet, tap & jazz, so that young dancers learn to open up to new styles of movement. At such a young age, it is important for them to explore their love of movement and music. Music, tumbling, dance & social skills are all part of this dance class, and provides the foundation for them to grow in all forms of dance.
