Below are descriptions of the team and class offerings at the Studio, but we thought it was important to make a distinction between the two offerings.
The teams are for the more serious dancer looking to invest the time and energy required to become a better dancer long term. The classes taken by the teams are more intense, move at a faster pace, and look to improve specific skills required for competitive teams. The teams will have the opportunity to compete at and attend conventions which requires this level of commitment.
Recreational classes still aim to seek improvement in the young dancer, but also look to develop confidence and a love for dance. These classes look to develop the skills and technique needed to progress to different levels. The recreational classes also offer a way for a new dancer to see if they have the passion and desire needed for the team level classes. Younger classes are more about them having fun and exploring individuality, and as they move to higher level classes, the instruction progresses to a more traditional format.
With either option, our hope is that all dancers will receive the attention they need to progress and that no student leaves without the opportunity to improve!
