Students in this 90 minute combo class continue to practice ballet, tap and jazz. Ballet teaches students strength, grace and discipline while tap teaches musicality and timing. Though there are many forms of jazz dance, our style is rooted in ballet technique and incorporates syncopated rhythm, broken movements, isolations, and tricks. These styles create a great foundation which is why we encourage all of our students to take a combo class. Flexibility becomes even more important as students get older and try more advanced movement.

The more styles of dance these dancers practice, the faster they’ll make progress, so we suggest they consider Acro, Pom, Musical Theater and Hip Hop. If taken in addition to the ballet/tap combo, these classes are offered at a discounted rate. These dancers are also eligible for our NEWcontemporary class!

These dancers may also be ready to take their ballet training to the next level by dancing en pointe! Learn more about our pre-pointe class here.

This class is $880 for the year (or $110 per month for 8 months). This price includes weekly rehearsals from September-May and three recital costumes.

*Age/Experience: Students in this class are 12-14 years old. Dancers must turn 12 before Sept 1, and typically spend 3 years at this level. No experience required, but dancers who are brand new to dance may benefit from a private lesson or two to catch up on the basics.

*Dress code: Leotards are required for every class along with a pair of tights, fitted dance shorts, or a ballet skirt. Leggings and a fitted tank top will also be accepted. Undergarments should not be worn under dancewear. Hair must be pulled up off of the neck in a ponytail, braid or bun.

*Shoes: Ballet shoes, black lace-up tap shoes, and tan slip-on jazz shoes are required for this class. Shoes should be purchased at Bobby’s Dancewear so they match for the spring performance!

*5-15 students per class.
