Dance at DWD
Acro
Learn the basic dance tricks and proper techniques such as forward rolls, splits, cartwheels, bridges, and handstands. As students gain strength and flexibility, they will begin learning more advanced and challenging tricks such as walk-overs, ariels, and more.
Ballet
Ballet is the foundation of all dance forms. Its precision prepares and trains dancers for all other styles of dance. Ballet focuses on creating a strong, controlled movement with proper form and technique.
Hip Hop
Seen often in popular music videos, concerts, and other broadcasted dances, hip hop stems from the roots of jazz dance. Hip Hop combines bold and supple movements and is performed mostly to quick, upbeat music.
Jazz
Classic jazz dance is one of the most wide-spread styles of dance. Having many different styles and being influenced by many cultures, jazz is very versatile. You will learn many basic steps and techniques from beginner to advanced! Turns, leaps, jumps, style, attitude, and grace are just a few of the things that encompass jazz dance.
Lyrical
Lyrical is a mix of ballet and jazz dance, graceful yet modern, lyrical can range from slow to very quick-paced choreography. Lots of leaps and turns in a flowing, fluid movement are seen in lyrical dance!
Pointe
Our pointe dancers must be at least 15 years old and have a minimum of 3 years of ballet experience. Pointe is done in a hard shoe that allows dancers to stand directly on the tips of their toes. Dancers must be invited into the class as it is imperative to have the correct technique, strength, and understanding of this diligent type of dance
Pre - K
Our youngest dancers begin with ballet to teach them the basic movements, terminology, and principles of dance. We add the fun of tap dancing to this class to help them find the rhythm in music as well as have fun making noise with their feet! Creative games and other activities to build motor and social skills are also a part of this beginners’ class.
Tap
Dancing in tap shoes, which are designed with metal on the toe and heel, creates rhythmic sounds by foot movement. There are many different styles and techniques to tap dancing!
Theater
A form of jazz dance stylized for on-stage performances! Your favorite Broadway hits and musicals will be heard in this fun and diverse class!
