Extended Ballet, Tap, and Jazz Combination:

This class is a one-and-one-half hour combination of one-half hour each of ballet, tap, and jazz. The student is required to take at least two sections of the class for at least one hour of instruction. These classes are made-up of experienced dancers who are in the 4th and 5th grades in school. They are designed to be the next progressive step after our one-hour combination class, giving the dancers more time and more intensive work with each discipline. Again the ballet technique is Cechetti, the tap technique is through graded exercises, and the jazz technique covers a broad range of musical styles.
