Classical Ballet

Classical Ballet is the most formal of dance styles and is based on movements and positions of the arms, feet, and body designed to enable the dancer to move with the greatest possible agility, control, speed, lightness, and grace.

Contemporary

Contemporary ballet is a form of dance influenced by both classical ballet and modern dance. It permits a greater range of movement that may not adhere to the strict body lines set forth by schools of ballet technique. Many of its concepts come from the ideas and innovations of 20th century modern dance, including floor work and turn-in of the legs.

Jazz

Jazz has become one of the most popular dance styles in recent years, mainly due to its popularity on television shows such as So You Think You Can Dance, movies, music videos and commercials. People enjoy watching jazz dancers, as the dancing is fun and energetic.

Jazz dancing is a form of dance that showcases a dancer's individual style and originality. Every jazz dancer interprets and executes moves and steps in their own way. This type of dancing is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork and turns. To excel in jazz, dancers need a strong background in classical ballet as it encourages grace and balance.

Tap dancing is an exciting form of dance in which dances wear special tap shoes equipped with metal taps. Tap dancers use their feet like drums to create rhythmic patterns and beats.

It is the stylized representation of a traditional folk or national dance, mostly from European countries, and uses movements and music which have been adapted for the theater.
