Baby & Me Classes: Ages 12-36 Months

Baby & Me: This caregiver and tot class is the perfect introduction to dance and tumbling for students 12 months- 36 months. Caregivers will help their dancer to gain confidence, use their imagination, and improve coordination. This class offers a great opportunity to bond with your baby and meet other families while allowing your child to adjust to the environment at our studio at their own pace in preparation for our Tippy Toes classes.

Pre-School Classes: Ages 2-6 Years

Tippy Toes: Tippy Toes 1-4 is our progressive combined ballet and tap technique class for students ages 2-6. Classes are separated by age and focus on introducing and building coordination, strength and motor skills without the accompaniment of a parent. Full of movement, music and fun, students will build a foundation for continued ballet and tap instruction while interacting with other dancers their age in a focused environment.

Teenie Tumble: Introductory tumbling skills are taught in our 30 minute Teenie Tumble class, specifically designed for our 3-6 year olds. This class focuses on building the coordination skills and strength used in our leveled tumbling classes while establishing an appreciation for the safety practices we implement in our more advanced tumbling classes.

Hippity Hop: This 30 minute class is an upbeat introduction to hip hop for our 4-6 year olds. This high-energy, age appropriate class class will focus on coordination, strength and learning combinations to current and fun music. Hippity Hop will encourage students to step outside of the box by bringing their own individual style and personality to the movements.

Leveled Classes: Ages 6-18 Years

Ballet: Ballet is the foundation of the specific curriculum we use here at Prestige Dance Studio, which is why many of our classes require concurrent enrollment in a ballet class. Classes focus on increasing flexibility, strength and musicality with the repetition of steps at the ballet barre and in the center.

Jazz: Strong and energetic jazz technique is the focus in this discipline. Dancers will master turns and leaps as well as a show-stopping stage presence. All dancers enrolled in jazz must also be enrolled in ballet.

Lyrical: Lyrical is a fusion of ballet and jazz and is considered an expressive and interpretive style of dance. Prestige Dance Studio embraces the foundations of lyrical dance while constantly pushing to evolve with, not behind, the contemporary dance scene. All dancers enrolled in lyrical must also be enrolled in ballet. More experienced dancers will take a combination Contemporary/Lyrical class.

Leaps & Turns Technique: This is a non-performing, complimentary class to jazz technique for dancers ages 8 and up. It provides dancers an additional opportunity to focus on variations of leaps & turns technique. All dancers enrolled in Leaps & Turns Technique must also be enrolled in ballet.

Tap: Our tap program is a combination of Rhythm and Broadway tap styles, teaching students impeccable stage presence.  Students will learn the basics of tap and focus on understanding how the music and the rhythm of their feet in combination with the floor can transform them into a percussive musician. Tap dance emphasizes the flow of movement by teaching the dancer to find rhythms and beats not only in music but in their own bodies.

Hip Hop: This is a fun, energetic class that focuses on coordination, strength and progression from basic combinations to intricate choreography. Our Hip Hop instructors update curriculum to keep up with the fast-evolving world of Hip Hop dance with fresh and age appropriate music and choreography.

Cheer: Offers a high energy introduction to the upbeat atmosphere of cheerleading. Strength, flexibility and sharp movement is the focus in this class which can be perfectly paired with one of our tumbling classes that is sure to provide your dancer with a solid cheerleading foundation.

Tumbling & Strength: Providing basic tumbling technique, students will learn tumbling skills and further their tumbling foundation. Dancers will learn skills used in competitive dancing while maintaining a strong emphasis on form.

Musical Theater: Musical theater is the study of Broadway dance and dance styles. Students will bring all the drama and learn essential movements that are frequently used in musical theatre while acting out, too. This class incorporates the dancing of musical theatre, terminology of the theatre, and choreography from several award-winning musicals. Our focus is on Broadway musicals old and new introducing their songs and styles into dance techniques.

Pre-Pointe and Pointe: A firm foundation in ballet will create a more well-rounded dancer. In addition to traditional ballet classes, we offer pre-pointe and pointe classes with a mixture of students on and off pointe. These classes can be used as a second ballet class to strengthen balance, core, feet and ankles, whether dancers have the desire or intentions of earning their pointe shoes. Only dancers en pointe perform in recital.
