Dance is an art form in which we find our voice, strength and passion. Through our program we strive to create a balance of structure and creativity by building technical dancers with creative minds and spirits.
Focusing on the basic fundamentals of dance and movement, this program allows young dancers to build a strong foundation that is developmentally appropriate and fun. Classes are conducted in creative movement, pre-ballet, tap and dance medley. Most of these classes are offered in eight-month sessions, September - May and include a final Spring Performance.
The Studio offers several programs for dancers ages 8 and above. From beginning to advanced levels, dancers can enjoy classes in classical ballet, tap, jazz and modern. Classes at the Village offer a strong foundation in dance technique in a relaxed yet structured atmosphere. Most classes in this program are for eight-month sessions, September-May and include a final Spring Performance.
The Advanced Dancers Program selects dancers to study the disciplines of classical ballet, contemporary jazz and dance conditioning. Rhythmic tap and modern dance are offered in addition to this program but not required. Dancers for this program are selected based on their abilities, commitment to dance and their desire to learn. This program will incorporate study workshops in dance history, improvisation, musical awareness and composition. Dancers from the Ballet IV and Jazz VI class are eligible for advancement into this program.
The Village Performing Company provides dancers ages 8 and above performance experience and knowledge from basic to advanced levels. It is the focus of this class to educate dancers on the skills of performing, choreography and theatrical production. These elements are touched upon but not fully developed in the technique classes. To meet the technical demands of choreography in this class, dancers must also participate in a technique class of classical ballet or jazz. Classical ballet training and dance conditioning are required in the more advanced groups.
Each year the Company presents it’s own unique Winter Concert with choreography selections by students as well as instructors. They also perform in other various venues as well as the Annual Spring Performance. Auditions for the Company are held in May.
For children ages 3 and up we offer dance parties on Fridays and Saturdays. One hour of dance instructor is provided and a half hour of party fun. Call for more info.
