Our Classes

Ballet // Pointe

Ballet is one of the most gratifying classes we offer, yet it can be the most challenging. Its focus on precise technique will build a necessary foundation for younger dancers and refine the skills of older students in styles such as Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, Contemporary, Ballroom and even Football. Ballet teaches alignment, placement, balance, and elegance — skills fundamental to a dancer’s development. Try Ballet, and give yourself the chance to begin your rich dance education, while experiencing art in its purest form.

Tap

Creating rhythms and sounds through dance makes Tap a truly unique experience. Tap dance develops musicality, rhythm, quick thinking, and the ability to “hear” music. Understanding the relationship between sound and dance is crucial to a dancer’s growth. Tap is regarded as a true American dance form that has been passed down for generations, and it remains one of our most popular classes.

Jazz

Studying Jazz can be an exhilarating journey, one that will give dancers greater confidence in performing with power and personality. Jazz relies on a dancer’s classical training, yet pushes them to connect emotionally to music and movement. Jazz can be explored through many different styles: Traditional Jazz, Musical Theatre Jazz, Lyrical — the list is endless. Sequel Dance Complex is excited to offer several styles of Jazz that will help dancers expand their movement vocabulary and discover which forms appeal to their diverse interests.

Lyrical Dance

Lyrical is a dance form that blends the distinct technical elements of Ballet and Jazz. It is characterized by fluid movement and utilization of resistance, which typically takes the form of controlled extensions, longing reaches, and specificity of intention. Lyrical expresses strong emotion and showcases the relationship of a dancer’s movement to a passionate, artistic piece of music. Lyrical provides students with a wonderful opportunity to learn skills that help dancers mature throughout their educational journey, such as storytelling, awareness, and virtuosity.
