Students practice traditional barre sequences, positions and alignments, and move fluidly across with both ballet and lyrical techniques. Class concludes with a lyrical combination that promotes expressive movement.

Jazz
Ages 6 -18 | Levels 1 - 4
A dynamic class full of big leaps, fast turns and short combinations. Students explore the exciting spirit of dance as they condition their body, increase familiarity of music and beats, and foster healthy self-expression. All classes are held to popular age-appropriate music and classical jazz dance music.
Tap
Ages 6 -Adult | Level 1 - Adult Tap
Explore a fresh side of dance through percussion and rhythm. Students practice precision in footwork, learn the distinctions of sounds, and develop a sense of teamwork as the class practices to sound as one. Expect bustling feet, patterned claps, and lots of laughs! Students tap in the center of the room and across the floor to short choreographed patterns; tap shoes required.
Acrobat

Pom
Ages 13+
Pom Dance is dancing while using pom poms and is a style mainly performed by high school and college dance teams. Pom dance incorporates other styles of dance such as jazz and hip hop and is highly technical. Professional pom dancers usually have extensive training in dance technique through a dance studio. Pom requires very sharp, precise movements, usually at a fast pace.
Lyrical
Ages 6 -18 | Intro Level 1 - Level 4
A compelling class for the inquisitive, this class explores self-discovery and the use of space. Students build technique, learn expressive dance combinations, and plunge into guided improvisation. The class utilizes slower yet powerful music (artists may include Adele, Ed Sheeran, Mumford and Sons etc.)
*Competitive classes can be formed for all age groups based on a student’s ability and desire to compete. Solos, duos, and trios may also be formed at the discretion of Vibe staff/instructors.
