Recreational program

This option may be taken by beginner to experienced dancers who wish to learn or improve dance and performance skills, increase physical strength, stamina and flexibility. Students will learn a routine and perform on stage in the year end show! Recreational classes are an excellent way to de-stress, let loose, and enjoy time with new and old friends!
Dance Style 
Age Range 
Description 
Mini-Movers 
2-3 years 
Mini-Movers provides the opportunity for children to be introduced to the fundamentals of jazz, ballet and acrobatics. Children will participate in activities aimed to enhance motor skills, sense of rhythm and coordination and improve social development. 
 Ballet
4+ years
​Age appropriate ballet elements will be taught with a focus on posture, body alignment, flexibility and strength. Ballet vocabulary will be used to explain various exercises. Students will practice their technique at the barre, in the centre of the room as well as through progressions across the room. ​
Jazz
4+ years  ​
Through this highly energetic, freestyle form of dance, which stresses the use of rhythm and flexibility of the body, ​students will develop their personal style and endurance. Dancers will showcase their newly learned kicks, turns and jumps in a choreographed routine.  ​
Tap
4+ years
Studio 12 tappers will be both dancers and musicians. Tap is an audible form of dance, in which sounds and tone qualities are created by the feet. Tap is highly recommended for the preschool student as the tap sounds add another dimension to dance making it enjoyable, and by offering instant rewards. This dance style challenges the body and the mind. Age appropriate tap technique will be taught, with a spotlight on rhythm, timing and musicality.  ​
Hip Hop
4+ years 
Hip Hop is one of the most popular forms of street dance that has crossed over to the mainstream. ​ ​Stamina and endurance will be tested in high-energy hip hop classes. This street inspired style will utilize current popular music and allow students to express their own unique style.  ​
Acro
4+ years 
Acro is the most athletic of all dance forms.  It stresses the extreme flexibility and requires a great deal of upper body strength.​ Gymnastics elements, including tumbling, partner and group tricks will be taught and combined with jazz choreography. ​
Musical Theatre
6+ years
Musical Theatre is the combination of music, acting and dancing. While learning9 some jazz steps and technique, dancers will also learn how to lip sync and portray different characters and emotions. ​
Contemporary/Improv
10+ years
Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements. The process of improvisational dance contains the essence of artistic creation and expression.
