Dance Program

Studio 4 offers classes in 8-week progressions. We begin with the basics and move into more challenging technique as we progress. The dance season is August through June, with a 6-week summer session beginning in July. Make-up classes are available during the year, however, missed classes are not refundable. Tuition is due at the first class of each progression, unless arrangements have been made in advance. When holidays fall during sessions, make-up classes will be pre-scheduled.

The youth program, ages 3 to 12, two teen programs and various adult classes offer combinations and repetition for every student. Progression allows students to take various classes and new students to enter throughout the year. Saturday auditions are held throughout the year for mid-session enrollment.

Ballet is considered to be the leading discipline of dance technique. Ballet is the foundation of our program at Studio 4.

Jazz, the other side of dance technique, isolates body movements and creates rhythmic combinations. Adding character and personality to a dance program.

   Jazz and Hip Hop ~ Both of these high energy classes are designed around classical jazz technique. This is not aerobics! Each class starts with the basics and moves into combinations through the 8-week series. Offered to ages 7 to adult.

Tap ~ Tap is both mind and body. It is focused and fun. We offer introductory education for ages 5 to 12.
