DiscoverDance

Walking – 5 Years

The DiscoverDance Early Childhood Program is a series of movement classes designed to introduce children to the creative and expressive world of dance.

Babes / Pre-K

Ages 3 – 5 Years

Our Babes and Pre-K classes run as ballet and tap combo classes. Basic technique will be taught along with rhythm, coordination, and balance. They will perform both a ballet and tap dance in the spring recital to show off their cool new skills!

Ballet

Ballet is a classical dance form demanding grace and precision and employing formalized steps and gestures set in intricate, flowing patterns to create expression through movement. 

Tap

Tap is a type of dance characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. The sound is made by shoes that have a metal “tap” on the heel and toe.

Jazz

Jazz dance combines techniques of classical ballet and modern dance with the current forms of popular dance. Jazz also has its own movement vocabulary ranging from the isolation of certain body parts to the movement of the entire body with the accents of musical rhythms.

Musical Theater

Musical theater is a dance form that combines many styles of dance and allows dancers to explore expression and storytelling, not only through movement but also through facial expression.

Hip-Hop

Hip-hop is a dance style, usually danced to hip-hop music, that evolved from the hip-hop culture. BritZa Studios always uses clean music and will only teach age-appropriate movement!

Lyrical

Lyrical dance challenges dancers to use motion to interpret music and express emotion. A lyrical dancer’s movements attempt to show the meaning of the music.

Clogging

Clogging is a dance form that is somewhat similar to tap dancing, but with heavier rhythms. The shoes also contain two sets of taps on the toe and the heel, creating a “jingle” sound.

Pointe

Pointe is a part of classical ballet technique that concerns pointe work, in which a ballet dancer supports all body weight on the tips of fully extended feet within pointe shoes.

Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT)

PBT is an innovative program that aims to enhance the classical ballet technique of dancers through alternative methods. Exercise balls will be provided. Students must purchase a PBT kit, which contains other equipment used in the class.   

Adult Tap

All levels of abilities are welcome in our adult classes! Classes start August 25, 2021. $200 per session.

Contemporary

Contemporary dance tends to combine the strong but controlled legwork of ballet with modern that stresses on torso. It also employs contract-release, floor work, fall and recovery, and improvisation characteristics of modern dance. Unpredictable changes in rhythm, speed, and direction are often used as well. In order to enroll in contemporary, students must also be enrolled in ballet.
